Who Should I Start? Marcus Mariota or Dak Prescott

Friday, August 25, 9:49 AM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Marcus Mariota was brought in this offseason to be the backup to Jalen Hurts this upcoming season. However, the 29-year-old might've played his way off the 53-man roster, according to Mike Garafolo. Rookie quarterback Tanner McKee has exceeded expectations and earned praise from the coaching staff. On Thursday, McKee completed 19-of-34 passing attempts for 158 yards during the preseason finale. Honestly, McKee might've done enough to overtake Mariota for the backup gig. The Eagles must decide how much faith they truly have in Mariota to play a role on this team in case Hurts does go down.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott played very well in a Week 2 win over the New York Jets. Prescott wasn't asked to do much in the Week 1 slaughter of the Giants, but he did a lot more against the Jets. He completed 31 of his 38 pass attempts for 255 yards and two touchdowns. He added six rushes for 14 yards total, and only took one sack for a seven yard loss. The Cowboys elite defense should consistently give the offense chances to score on short fields. Prescott should be a solid option again in Week 3 when the Cowboys take on the Cardinals in Arizona.
