However, there is an analyst who thinks that there is a weak link on the team. Stephen A Smith, who is not a fan of the Cowboys, has no love for Dak Prescott as the main quarterback for the Cowboys.
The analyst took to the GetUp show to talk about the problem that he sees with the Cowboys. He absolutely berated the Cowboys’ quarterback and goes off on him for the way he has been playing this season.

Dak Prescott this year
Stephen A Smith went off at Prescott and the season he has had. The analysts presented pure stats and showcased his discontent with the way the player has been performing. Admittedly, Dak Prescott has had a slower season this year. The quarterback’s performance this season as compared to last year has been downright underwhelming.
Just with pure numbers, this season has been very mediocre. In the 2021 season, the quarterback played 16 games and had 10 interceptions. However, this season, the quarterback has only played 8 games and has racked up a whopping 9 interceptions. While Smith was brutal about it, it is possible that he might be on to something. However, when the clip of him berating Prescott went viral on Instagram, fans had a very visceral however very mixed reaction.

There was one user who commented, “Stop it Haters, Dak is Amazing!!! You’ll learn to appreciate him when he’s gone smh” declaring their love for the Cowboys‘ quarterback. However, another fan stated their disapproving opinion about Prescott, “I’m a Cowboys fan. And Dak is a very average quarterback. His record is terrible against winning teams that have great Quarterbacks. This is a fact.” Furthermore, there were other fans agreeing with Stephen A Smith’s point of view and said, “normally don’t agree with @stephenasmith biased point of view of the cowboys, but he is 100000% correct on this one.” All the fans were either very staunchly in support of the quarterback or were agreeing with the analyst.
The truth of the matter from a stats point of view is that Dak Prescott has been slightly inconsistent. He has had erratic highs and lows throughout the season this year. However, the Cowboys are very much in the playoff picture. The only question that fans are going to ask is whether Prescott is going to get more consistent or will his numbers keep fluctuating.
