So, who IS the best quarterback in Dallas Cowboys history?

Based on these statistics, Tony Romo is, by far, the best quarterback in Dallas Cowboys history. Romo has the most passing yards of any Dallas quarterback, the most touchdown passes, and his completing percentage and quarterback rating are tops.

As you can see with these statistics Dak Prescott can be considered part of the conversation as well. Dak has the highest quarterback rating as well as the best completion percentage. But, Prescott has plenty of years ahead of him to pad those stats and I feel at some point he will surpass Romo statistically.

Some might argue that Aikman, Staubach, and White (White got his as a backup) all have Super Bowl wins under their belt, but pure statistics don't lie. Tony Romo is the best.
