In case you hadn't heard, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is putting on quite a show for a rookie. Prescott, a fourth-round draft pick out of Mississippi State, is outperforming Philadelphia's Carson Wentz, Los Angeles' Jared Goff and Denver's Paxton Lynch ... all first-round draft choices in 2016.

And of those three, only Wentz, the No. 2 overall pick, has shown the promise that Prescott has. Goff will start his first game for the Rams on Sunday, and Lynch has seen very little playing time.

Meanwhile, Prescott has completed 66.8 percent of his passes for 2,339 yards with 14 touchdowns and two interceptions this season. His 106.2 passer rating is fourth best in the NFL.

But how does Prescott compare with other notable rookie QBs of the past 10 years.

ESPN.com published an Insider report on the subject.

ESPN senior writer Mike Sando: Prescott has fared better statistically through his first nine games than any of the 27 other first-year passers in ESPN's Total QBR vault, which dates to 2006. His 82.5 QBR is better than Andrew Luck's, better than Cam Newton's, better than Russell Wilson's, better than Robert Griffin's, better than Matt Ryan's -- better than them all.

It's true that Prescott benefits from having the NFL's best offensive line and a supremely talented running back in fellow rookie Ezekiel Elliott.

But ESPN provided a deeper statistical look at how Prescott compared to other rookie QBs of the past 10 years. And he really shows no weakness.

When facing schemes that put additional defensive backs on the field: Prescott has seven touchdowns and one pick in those situations, plus 11 rushes for 90 yards and another score.

When throwing passes more than 15 yards downfield: Prescott is first in completion rate (53.3 percent on 24-of-45 passing), first in QBR, first in passer rating. He has five TDs with no picks on those throws.

On longer throws without the benefit of play-action: Prescott remains in the top three for completion rate (51.4 percent on 18-of-35 passing), QBR and passer rating.

Passing in unfavorable down-and-distance situations: His 82.0 QBR when the Cowboys needed more than 10 yards for a first down ranks first among the 28 rookies.

On third-and-long: Prescott ranks seventh among the 28 in QBR (59.4) on third-and-5 or longer.

Facing pass rush pressure: First in QBR (54.5) among the 28 rookies on 87 action plays when pressured.

In crunch time: Prescott ranks fourth among the 28 rookies in QBR (83.0) when tied or trailing by one score in fourth quarters. He has completed 25 of 42 passes for 283 yards with one TD, no picks and one sack in these situations.

In other words, it's all good.

And likely to get better.
