Theres no need to anoint?Dallas Cowboys rookie quarterback Dak Prescott. His stat line has already done the job. Nine games does not ensure stardom or even success in game No. 10, but reasonable attempts to find blemishes in Prescotts game return only more supporting evidence.You might have heard: Prescott has played well enough for Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to leave $108 million favorite son Tony Romo on the bench, perhaps forever. Familiar disclaimers apply. Prescott plays with $70 million receiver Dez Bryant, $37 million tight end Jason Witten, the games preeminent offensive line and Ezekiel Elliott, arguably the NFLs most exciting young running back since Adrian Peterson.Back to the fun stuff.

His 82.5 QBR is better than Andrew Lucks, better than Cam Newtons, better than Russell Wilsons, better than Robert Griffins, better than Matt Ryans -- better than them all.Prescott has completed 66.8 percent of his passes for 2,339 yards (8.4 per attempt) with 14 touchdowns and two interceptions this season. His 106.2 passer rating is fourth best in the NFL.The conversation picks up there. Larry Johnson Jersey . The veteran safety was a starter for the Bengals from 2008-2012.

But youve got to get better, Mulkey said. Were coming off of a very hard loss to swallow after watching the film for three hours against UConn, and just saw glaring things that we control and weve got to get better.
