After being stifled in the NFL playoffs, the Dallas Cowboys will watch the Super Bowl, and as the offseason approaches, the Jones family will be busy coining catchphrases and buzzwords.
Jerry is using phrases like “push the hell out of it” and “all in.”
And Stephen? He is moving through terms like “trust” and “doubt,” which raises issues with “comparisons” and “blame.”
Who then bears the blame? To the amazement of many, Coach Mike McCarthy kept his job after the team lost the playoffs for the third time in a row. Dan Quinn, the new coach of the Washington Commanders, did not find his coaching career completely derailed.
“There’s no way (fans are) going to explicitly trust you until you get it done,” Jones stated. Would someone have faith in Tom Brady and the Patriots to complete the task? Yes, does anyone really think that Kansas City and (Patrick) Mahomes will succeed? Why? They’re in the title game because they’ve done it six times in a row.
Prescott’s 2-5 postseason record is definitely not good enough for the Cowboys, who are, at the very least, desperate to snap their NFC Championship drought. Not to add, Prescott’s cap charge for the upcoming campaign is now projected to be little less than a whopping $60 million.
The Cowboys are left to debate whether they should give their franchise quarterback a second contract extension or pull some financial levers to reduce his cap hit and essentially make him a lame-duck in 2024.
