Jerry Jones trusts Dak Prescott 'very much', believes he can lead Cowboys to Super Bowl

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expresses confidence in quarterback Dak Prescott's ability to win a Super Bowl and end the team's championship drought.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is unwavering in his belief that Dak Prescott is the quarterback capable of ending the franchise's prolonged championship drought. In an interview with NBC Sports' Peter King, Jones expressed his complete trust in Prescott's ability to lead the team to a Super Bowl victory.

Jones emphasized that the team is relying on Prescott and expressed his confidence in the quarterback's preparation, presence, and the positive response from the team. He firmly believes that Prescott has what it takes to guide the Cowboys to the ultimate goal.

Furthermore, Jones went on to state that he believes the Cowboys would have emerged as Super Bowl champions last year if they had defeated the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC divisional round. This belief underscores his faith in Prescott's capabilities as a quarterback.

However, Prescott's playoff record has raised doubts among some observers. With only two wins in six playoff starts, questions have been raised about his ability to lead the Cowboys to victory. In response to these concerns, Prescott acknowledged that he thinks about his postseason record extensively. He recognizes that two wins are not enough and understands the importance of stringing together multiple playoff victories to reach the Super Bowl. He is determined to meet the high expectations placed upon him and the team.

Looking ahead, Jones will soon face the challenge of negotiating a new contract with Prescott. Set to become a free agent in 2025, Prescott's market value suggests that he will likely receive a raise from his current average annual salary of $40 million. While early discussions have taken place between Prescott and the team regarding a new contract, no imminent agreement has been reached, according to The Athletic's Jeff Howe.

Should the Cowboys endure another heartbreaking postseason in 2023, Jones may need to reconsider his stance on sticking with Prescott as the team's quarterback. The future will ultimately determine whether Prescott can fulfill the expectations placed upon him and bring a championship to Dallas.
