From the episode

The Dak Prescott's this, that seven to 13 range, whatever we're calling it, even if they are more sensitive to their surroundings than the top guys like Patrick Mahomes and stuff, they are much less sensitive than guys like Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Prescott's tier (7-13) shows more environmental sensitivity than elite QBs but more stability than lower-tier options.

The source positions Dak Prescott in the 7-13 quarterback tier and notes that while quarterbacks in this range are more sensitive to their surrounding circumstances than elite MVP-caliber quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes, they remain significantly less sensitive to environment than lower-tier quarterbacks like Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold. The source argues there are still meaningful performance tiers even among mid-tier quarterbacks, and that paying slightly more for a Prescott-tier quarterback over a cheaper mid-tier option can be worthwhile if it provides more stability.
