Dak Prescott and the undertow of expectations: How narratives may be driving your view of the Cowboys QB

Daniel Houston, who goes by @CowboysStats on Twitter, is a great source of analytics for all things Cowboys. One of the reasons he’s such a good source is he tends to analyze whatever data he’s looking at and then draws conclusions from his analysis.

This may sound like the logical thing to do, but I assure you, it is not. In today’s media environment of hot takes, black/white thinking, and clickrates, many folks form an opinion and then go looking for data to support that opinion.

Which may be what prompted Houston to write this recent comment.
