Unfortunately it goes with the territory today for better or worse. I kinda get where he's coming from. I would never/have never degraded a guy to the point some of these people on social media platforms do...but, in the same vein, these guys make more money in the course of a few years than most people do in their lifetime to play a game. Get over it. I've worked in retail, as a mail carrier, etc. and dealt with far more flak for dumb $hit for nowhere close to the pay these guys get. I get his point that their contracts really aren't guaranteed in a sense, but if they play their cards right and invest they'd never have to work another day in their lives which is something not many people can do if they got fired from their jobs right now.

Through four games - which includes facing last year’s Super Bowl MVP and Offensive Rookie of the Year in addition to an early contender for Comeback Player of the Year - the Cowboys rank tenth in DVOA and ninth in pass defense DVOA. That’s incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed the plan was for him to eventually play to center from the moment we drafted him. And just when I had all but given up on the idea… Don’t really understand why they didn’t get him center snaps in preseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiller Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I kiinda get tired also of the idea that just because some one makes more than you can even imagine making means that person is fair game to be treated badly by fans. They are fair game to discus their play on the field, are they better then others at their position and are they being paid too much for what they produce on the field. I would also add as public figures we as fans can also criticize off field issues involving situations that might lead to them being suspended.

The fans that throw out death threats and other personal insults are garbage. But, they certainly deserve to be called out when their play doesn't warrant what they're being paid.

What Dallas is doing asks a ton from its quarterback — process the coverage shell, identify where the free access is and take it regardless of the typical progression within the play call. Prescott has the ability to do exactly that, and with the run game back in a rhythm we haven’t seen from the Cowboys in years, an MVP and a Lombardi Trophy are within reach for America’s Team.
