Questions are being asked of the Dallas Cowboys after a third consecutive 12-5 regular season went up in flames with a very familiar early playoff exit. Cowboys’ quarterback Dak Prescott, in particular, has been under fire from all sides.
It has been eight years now since the Cowboys selected Prescott with the 135th pick in the draft. Over that stretch, he has managed to win just two playoff games and the team is yet to reach the NFC championship under his leadership. That has led to doubts about the team culture.
“The culture is great from my standpoint.” Prescott said per a recent article from CBS Sports. “My point is that’s something I’ve bragged on and took pride in. So if there’s questions of that or concerns on that, I feel attacked.”

Prescott was speaking alongside former Super Bowl Champion quarterback Troy Aikman at the The Children’s Cancer Fund event. He insists the team and locker room have a great chemistry.
After a series of disappointing seasons, finger are being pointed at certain players on the Dallas roster. Veteran offensive lineman Tyron Smith will likely not return next year which only adds to the responsibilities on players like Prescott, Micah Parsons and Zack Martin.
When you play for a team known as “America’s Team,” there will always be added pressure every time a player dons the the white and silver with the blue star logo. That comes with the territory. Prescott, along with some of the other senior players, will need to step up next year if the Cowboys have any chance of breaking the organization’s 28-year Super Bowl drought.
