1. Will Dak Prescott take the next step?

Dak Prescott’s NFL peers have him ranked 14th in the annual Top 100 players list, according to the NFL Network. But even with such high praise from the competition, Prescott still has some work to do when being compared to other quarterbacks in the NFL.

Prescott was the perfect quarterback for the Cowboys last season, and from here on out, he will be the on-field leader in maybe the toughest place to be a quarterback in the NFL. As a rookie, Prescott passed for over 3,500 yards and 23 touchdowns. He completed 67.8 percent of his passes in the regular season and 63.2 percent of his passes in the playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers.

He handled the pressure of being a rookie quarterback for the Cowboys last season and was a big difference maker for the franchise. Then again, there were four times last season he had zero touchdown passes and five times he had one touchdown pass, but there were seven times where he had at least two touchdown passes in a game.

SportsDayDFW.com quoted former NFL quarterback Ron Jaworski in a recent article about what he believes Prescott needs to improve on in 2017:

"“As you go from the rookie season to the second season you’re going to get better. I would say Dak must improve on the accuracy aspect of his game.”"
