Stephen A. Smith - English
The Dallas Cowboys’ Dak Prescott is once again making headlines for his offseason remarks as the quarterback sets the Super Bowl as the target, but finds himself on the wrong end of Stephen A. Smith.
The ESPN analyst has sharply criticized the 31-year-old’s latest comments, suggesting the NFL should go so far as to prohibit the veteran QB from speaking altogether.
Dak Prescott imitates Jerry Jones after Cowboys trade for George Pickens
Prescott, entering his 10th season at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, reiterated his desire to lead Dallas to a Super Bowl title during the team’s mandatory minicamp this week – something he is yet to do despite three Pro Bowl selections.
“I want to win a championship,” Prescott said to reporters. “The legacy, the things, whatever comes after I finish playing will take care of itself. I want to win a championship.
“Be damned if it’s just for my legacy, or if it’s for this team, for my personal being, for my sanity. Yeah, the legacy will take care of itself. I have to stay where my feet are.”
His comments might resonate with fans hopeful for a postseason breakthrough, but Smith expressed strong frustration on First Take, labeling Prescott‘s remarks as repetitive and empty.
“Well, what the hell was he supposed to say? ‘I want to lose?'” Smith exclaimed. “It’s the same old stuff with this guy.
“Listen, he’s the biggest wasted quote in professional sports. He is the one quarterback if I could petition the NFL to say don’t let a quarterback talk, because you get nothing from him.
“All you have to do is rewind the clock two years ago, four years ago, six years ago, he says the same thing every year.”
Smith‘s scathing comments reflect broader frustrations with Prescott‘s postseason performance, as he has never advanced past the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs, despite strong regular seasons.
The team has failed to reach even one NFC Championship Game under his leadership, let alone the Super Bowl, leaving his critics wondering if he is the right man to take them forwards.
Prescott defends new recruit as Cowboys bid to fight back in 2025/26 NFL season
Prescott‘s 2024/25 campaign was derailed after just eight games due to a hamstring injury and without him, the Cowboys faltered, finishing the season at 7-10 and missing the playoffs entirely – a disappointing result that only amplified criticism of the team’s trajectory.
In an effort to revamp the offense, the Cowboys traded for wide receiver George Pickens in May. Though Pickens arrives with a reputation for behavioral concerns from his time in Pittsburgh, Prescott voiced his support for the new addition.
“That’s why I don’t think you should ever really listen to what somebody else says about somebody,” Prescott said. “I think you should judge everyone, not judge but find out yourself who they are and allow them to reveal their character to you.
“The guy, he’s been great, he’s been phenomenal. He’s a guy that loves football, loves his teammates.
“He’s one of us. He’s a brother, and it’s just about continuing to grow and make sure we’re putting the best out there.”
