Josh Norman's Latest Quote Makes it Clear He's Still Not Impressed With Dak Prescott
By Parker White
Not only is Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman one of the better defensive backs in the game, he isn't afraid to give his opinion, no matter the topic.
Washington will face their division rival the Dallas Cowboys this week, who in the season opener lit it up against the New York Giants. The team was led by quarterback Dak Prescott, who threw for 405 yards and four touchdowns.
Prescott was very impressive to most, but not Norman.
Josh Norman to my question about Dak Prescott: "You stand back there in the pocket all day and go through your first, second and third reads and come back to your first one, OK, cool. Anybody can that. You could throw the ball if that's the case."

“You stand back there in the pocket all day and go through your first, second and third reads and come back to your first one, OK, cool," Norman said to Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press. "Anybody can do that. You could throw the ball if that’s the case.”
“At the end of the day, he’s been playing well. As you can see, he’s evolved. He’s growing in the system. He’s just taking his keys and picking his targets and throwing the ball on time.”
.@dallascowboys @dak my favorite part of watching #Dak play is in the tiniest of details. So thorough in his signaling to his ball mechanics to his ball fakes; and the result is the easiest TD pass he has ever made. #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/wo3N0JWGRy

Norman didn't give Prescott much credit, initially, but then he complimented him on his improvement and progression as a player.
Prescott had a perfect passer rating of 158.3 against the Giants. Whether Norman wants to believe it or not, that's not something everybody can do, no matter the opponent.
