Dak Prescott knows all about going from hero to zero in the span of just one week in the NFL. He has played in the league long enough to understand that. But it rarely happens that a player’s own franchise slams him for his performance publicly. And that is exactly what has happened with the Dallas Cowboys franchise QB.
The NFL world is shocked beyond belief and fans are rubbing their eyes. They just can’t believe what has happened with the $160 million franchise QB at the AT&T Stadium.
Fans are in disbelief over the Cowboys’ Dak Prescott tweet

The Cowboys official Twitter handle stirred up a storm due to an overtly critical tweet about franchise QB Dak Prescott. This comes after the Cowboys crashed out of the playoffs after a divisional round loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
The fact this tweet is still up, from the #Cowboys own team account, is unbelievable. pic.twitter.com/TY8yysNxdv

The NFL world could not believe what they saw. Many fans said that someone will lose their job in the franchise media team. Others asked Prescott to move on from the franchise and go where he will be valued. A fan thinks someone in the Cowboys staff will be fired for this fiasco.
I’m sure whoever is in PR meant to write this on their personal account, guess someone is getting fired even though this is true

This fan thinks the tweet is the truth and Prescott lost the game for the Cowboys.
TRUTH!! Cowboys D DOMINATED! Dak LOST this one almost single handedly and there should be ZERO slack for a player that eats up this much Cap Space.. I NEVER thought the Cowboys should have signed him long term and all he has done is prove me RIGHT

Another fan took a shot at the Cowboys fan base for always hating their QB.
Nobody hates their quarterbacks more than Cowboys fans. Some of us remember the QB carousel after Aikman but there's a big faction of the fanbase that doesn't realize how bad it can actually be.

This fan wants Prescott to move on from the Cowboys to a new team that values him.
@dak should request a trade – let this franchise go out on its own and find a place where you’re valued. Playing for Dallas can’t possibly be worth this type of nonsense

Another fan blames the whole team for the playoff loss.
Dak getting lots of blame but his teammates could have helped him out more.

This fan gave a reason why the Cowboys tweeted the way they did.
I get it, but when teams make tweets that have articles attached, the tweet usually relates to the content in the article. It would definitely have been a different story if it was a stand-alone tweet pic.twitter.com/yDmJ9TvTcz

Not many teams are overtly critical of their own players in the sports world, let alone in the NFL. But the Cowboys under owner Jerry Jones have always done things differently. Prescott did put up a subpar performance in the playoff clash with the Niners. And the wait for the Super Bowl title just got a little longer.
A performance to forget

The Cowboys offense would like to forget the performance they put up in the divisional playoff round at the Levi’s Stadium on Sunday. The defense did their best and kept the home side under 20 points. But Dak Prescott and his offense just couldn’t capitalize on it.

Prescott threw 206 passing yards in the game but managed just one touchdown pass. But he turned the ball over to the Niners defense twice through interceptions. And the home team edged past the visitors 19-12 to set up the NFC championship clash with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The biggest question after the Cowboys tweet is, what does the future hold for Prescott at the AT&T Stadium? Will the Cowboys go to the next season with him in the center?
