This week. Aaron Rodgers lastly determined to affix the Pittsburgh Steelers, one thing that many soccer followers had been anticipating for fairly some time now. Rodgers has clearly been within the NFL for a really very long time. In truth, he was drafted (now formally) over 20 years in the past by the Green Bay Packers. It seems like even longer since Ted Thompson and Co. shocked Brett Favre with the choice the way in which that they did.
After we get to Week 1 there isn’t a query that Rodgers would be the beginning quarterback throughout the league with probably the most time served, however on condition that Pittsburgh is now his third staff (in 4 years), he clearly is not part of the staff with which he made his mark and received his lone Super Bowl (now nearly 15 years in the past by the way in which).
There are a number of different quarterbacks within the league, starters and in any other case, who’re longer within the tooth like Rodgers. Gamers like Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins and even Joe Flacco are nonetheless hanging round. Narrowing issues a bit although, if we deal with which staff has the longest-tenured starter by way of time served together with his particular staff then because it has been for a while now the reply stays Dak Prescott.
It’s reasonably wild to assume that Prescott has been the Cowboys beginning quarterback longer than some other quarterback has for his or her present staff throughout the league, however that speaks to the turnover fee that we are likely to see. Gamers who come near him so far as nonetheless being with their groups are Patrick Mahomes with the Kansas City Chiefs (2017), Josh Allen with the Buffalo Bills (2018) and Lamar Jackson with the Baltimore Ravens (2018).
Matthew Stafford represents a participant with way more NFL expertise than Dak, however he joined the Los Angeles Rams in 2021 which was 5 years after the Cowboys drafted Prescott. Equally, Jared Goff technically has two days on Dak by way of NFL expertise as he was the primary total choose within the 2016 NFL Draft, however he was part of that Stafford commerce and has been with the Detroit Lions for the final 4 years.
Time generally is a humorous factor within the NFL, however no beginning quarterback has spent extra of it with their present staff than Dak Prescott has with the Dallas Cowboys.
