Dak Prescott achieved multiple NFL records during his rookie season with the Dallas Cowboys in 2016. He set the rookie record for wins, passer rating, and completion percentage, along with 11 games over a 100 passer rating, surpassing Russell Wilson’s record. As the NFL passer rating evolves, the significance of these benchmarks changes, with a passer rating of 100 now considered solid rather than exceptional. Sources continue to discuss the metrics that define quarterback performance, comparing current players to retired greats and examining their success rates in games with high passer ratings.
