Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow. Those are the quarterbacks that many would say are trailing Patrick Mahomes in terms of who’s the best signal-caller in the league. But what about the Dallas Cowboys’ Dak Prescott? Where does this past season’s MVP runner-up sit in the rankings?
“Ain’t nobody fearing Dak Prescott,” Louis Reddick said on a recent episode of ESPN’s Get Up. “They fear Josh Allen. They fear Lamar [Jackson]. They fear Joe [Burrow].”
This leads to the question of “why.” What is the difference between Prescott and the three quarterbacks Riddick mentioned?
“They fear Joe because of his mind because they feel as though he can deal with Patrick [Mahomes] on the same level,” Riddick continued. “They fear Josh because they think Josh is just a freak and it’s hard to really defend [against].”

If Riddick asserts that defenses don’t “fear” Prescott because he doesn’t have that “elite” trait like Allen and his arm or Jackson and his legs, then it is hard to argue against. Prescott doesn’t necessarily bring the elite arm strength or scrambling ability as other top quarterbacks.
But who’s to say he doesn’t have the same “mind” as Burrow? How do we know this?
It seems Riddick’s assertion of Burrow having a great mind is rather just based on the fact of his success in the playoffs. Burrow sports a much better 5-2 record in the postseason compared to Prescott, which includes wins over Mahomes, Jackson, and Allen.
Meanwhile, Prescott’s two postseason wins have come against Russell Wilson and Tom Brady.
So maybe the difference between Prescott and those other top quarterbacks is just postseason success and not so much about being able to impose “fear” on his opponents.
