Dallas Cowboys teammates Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs were talking about top quarterbacks on Parsons’ "The Edge" podcast and listed the elite signal-callers in the league this season.
Their own quarterback, Dak Prescott, wasn’t on the list.
Parsons and Diggs' list included Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford.
Even Minnesota Vikings breakout star Sam Darnold was up there, along with Offensive Rookie of the Year favorite Jayden Daniels.

"I can’t give you a top five right now based on how everybody is performing," Parsons told Diggs.
Now, this could’ve just been an oversight by Parson and Diggs because they have obviously liked what they’ve seen from Prescott in past seasons as he’s anchored the offense to playoff appearances.

At the same time, the Cowboys are 3-4 this season, and the offense has been its usual dominant self.
The Cowboys are ranked in the middle of the pack in yards per game (15th), and they’re more toward the bottom in points scored per contest (22nd).
However, Prescott has been slinging the football. The Cowboys have the third-best passing game in the league with 256 yards averaged per game.
