Despite what weve seen up until now this season from Russell Wilson, no NFL quarterback is best (though Wilson has actually looked pretty near it). Everyone has a weakness or an issue location– and plenty have more than one. Whether its precision, downfield tossing, taking too many sacks or something else, something stands out for all 32 starters.
Thanks to the sophisticated Pro Football Focus information, we are able to determine those areas in need of improvement. Making use of the PFF play-by-play grading and whatever else at our disposal, from our ball-charting and QB accuracy numbers to efficiency from a tidy pocket, we recognized the biggest weak point for every 2020 starting quarterback throughout the NFL.

Biggest weakness: High-volume video games
Coming into 2020, Prescott had actually played in 28 “high-volume” video games– video games in which a quarterback drops back 40 or more times– and he accomplished a PFF grade of at least 80.0 only as soon as in those, 35th out of 36 quarterbacks with at least 10 such games. That said, from 2016 to 2019, the Dallas signal-caller performed much better in games where he wasnt asked to do as much, and that had actually constantly separated him from some of the other top quarterbacks around the league.
Most significant weakness: Turnover-worthy plays
Despite what weve seen so far this season from Russell Wilson, no NFL quarterback is ideal (though Wilson has actually looked quite close to it). Whether its accuracy, downfield throwing, taking too many sacks or something else, something stands out for all 32 beginners.

Far this season, Prescott has 2 80.0-plus grades in 3 high-volume games, so perhaps there is a turnaround taking place in Dallas. That said, from 2016 to 2019, the Dallas signal-caller performed better in games where he wasnt asked to do as much, and that had actually always separated him from some of the other leading quarterbacks around the league.
The penchant for making huge throws under pressure gets Jones into difficulty, as he has the third-highest portion of turnover-worthy plays in the league since the start of 2019, trailing only Jameis Winston and Kyle Allen. Jones is willing to take downfield shots even while getting hit, and that causes a large range of spectacular throws and simple interception chances. He should also get much better at securing the ball in the pocket, as hes had far too numerous fumbles– and not simply the inescapable, strip-sack range.
