Chris Broussard picks Brock Purdy over Dak Prescott ahead of Week 5 clash between Cowboys and 49ers - “I trust him more”

Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5. Both teams are Super Bowl contenders this season, so fans are excited to see how the game plays out.

Prescott is 2-0 against the 49ers in the regular season but has lost to them two straight years in the playoffs. Many believe he can't play his best football against tough opponents, so the upcoming game will be a litmus test.

Heading into the game, Chris Broussard picked Brock Purdy over the Cowboys quarterback. He reckons the 49ers quarterback is better than Prescott, and the numbers back it, saying on First Things First:

"Well that's a nice graphic, let that sit and marinate for a while. completion percentage, passing yards per game, TD interception ratio, 20-yard completions, passer rating everything…"

"Guess who's 10th in the league in tight window completion, Brock Purdy, and guess who’s 18th? Dak Prescott. Why in the world would I not trust Brock Purdy? He got all the numbers, the tight window, better receivers, and the best running back, yeah I trust Brock Purdy more."

Purdy is still unbeaten in the regular season, and the San Francisco 49ers have looked like the best team in the NFL. However, this will be their toughest challenge yet, and it will be interesting to see which quarterback has the better game.

As for Dak Prescott, he hasn't been asked to do much this season due to the Cowboys' defense's domination. In one game where he faced adversity, Prescott threw a game-losing interception against the Cardinals, which brought more criticism.

Dak Prescott is under the most pressure in Week 5

New England Patriots vs Dallas Cowboys

There's no doubt that Dak Prescott will be under the most pressure on Sunday. In the last two years, he has had two terrible playoff performances against the San Francisco 49ers, who have eliminated the Dallas Cowboys.

In the two playoff losses against the 49ers, Prescott threw for 460 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions with a poor passer rating of 66.7.

If he fails to deliver in Week 5, the Dallas Cowboys will be written off as a Super Bowl contender. Their defense is excellent, but Micah Parsons and other players need help from the offense to win games against good teams.
