Dak Prescott isn't going anywhere.

Coming off of a sophomore slump that was created by a myriad of poor decisions on the part of the Dallas Cowboys' coaching staff as well as Prescott himself -- in addition to inconsistent wide receiver play -- nearly everyone's to blame for a season that saw the 2016 Rookie of the Year deliver MVP-caliber numbers over the first half of the season, only to Wile E. Coyote off of a cliff over the remainder of the year.

Head coach Jason Garrett hasn't been shy about spreading the blame around, but in the end he wants to make it spring water-clear that those calling for the Cowboys to move on from Prescott will die of suffocation in 2018 before they see it happen.

"I think he's absolutely the right kind of guy to have as the quarterback of your organization," Garrett said in his final press conference of the season. "I think he's demonstrated that time and time again. Now, if you pull back and look at what he's done in his first two years of his career, he's won 22 out of 32 games, he's 22-10 as a starting quarterback in the National Football League.

"You reflect back at other quarterbacks as they have started their careers no one has really had that kind of success like he has. Now, is he perfect? Absolutely not. Does he need to get better? Absolutely he does. We're focused on that. But he's done a lot of really good things in a short period of time for us.

"He'll continue to grow because of the kind of person he is."

To put it bluntly though, is he or is he not the Cowboys' franchise quarterback of the future?

"Yeah," Garrett said. "We think he's an awfully good quarterback to have leading your franchise. There's no question about that in our minds."
