What did Tiki Barber say about Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and Giants’ Daniel Jones?

The Dallas Cowboys quarterback is one of the star players on the roster who is waiting for a contract extension. As the Cowboys have put it off for so long, the pay Dak Prescott is likely to end up receiving could be above what many consider him to be worth. It’s tough for Prescott, who’s under intense scrutiny as the quarterback for America’s Team. He’s coming off one of his best career seasons, but his lack of playoff success and zero titles means skepticism all around the league and beyond.

Tiki Barber’s controversial opinion

Everyone is prepared to give their thoughts on Prescott, and former New York Giants running back Tiki Barber is no exception. But Barber’s opinion is definitely not the majority. Barber said he would take current Giants quarterback Daniel Jones over Prescott “100 out of 100 times”.

He even went as far as to say he believes “most people” would agree with him. I highly doubt that.

Prescott finished last season with 4,516 passing yards and an NFL-led 36 touchdowns and only nine interceptions, earning him his third Pro Bowl nod and second-team All-Pro Honors.

Jones, on the other hand, finished the 2023 season with 909 yards, two touchdowns and six interceptions in six games in 2023, having sat out several games with various injuries. And in fact, after five years as the Giants’ starter, Jones has a 22-36-1 record with 62 career touchdowns to 40 interceptions. The only season he won more than five games as a starter was in 2022. In comparison, after five years with Dallas, Prescott had a 42-27 record with 106 touchdowns to 40 interceptions.

I do not believe most people would agree with Barber’s take, but hey...to each his own.
