The Dallas Cowboys had a disappointing showing Monday night, losing to the Arizona Cardinals at home 27-17. The loss dropped their record to 3-5-1. Golden State forward Draymond Green watched the game and has concluded that Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is not going to win a championship as the starting quarterback.
In a clip shared by NFL insider Jordan Schultz from the upcoming ‘Why is Draymond Green Talking About Football’ podcast, Green said that despite Prescott being mentioned in the MVP race earlier this season, this recognition has not helped the Cowboys become contenders.
“He is getting some numbers and they stink,” Green said. “Dak’s a bum ... They will never win with Dak.”
Green, the four-time NBA champion and four-time All-Star, went on to explain what he meant by “bum.”
“You have to understand, when I say bum, I’m not saying Dak Prescott isn’t a good NFL quarterback,” Green explained. “Of course he’s a good NFL quarterback. But I’m saying when the money is on the line, when it’s for all the marbles, who are you? He’s a bum.”
This season, Prescott has completed 69.3 percent of his passes for 2,319 yards, 17 touchdowns and six interceptions. The Cowboys have the third-best offense in the league (378.4 yards per game) but only converted one of three red zone trips into touchdowns in Monday’s loss.
Green mentioned that Prescott’s best chance to take the Cowboys on a deep playoff run has already passed and that he is not living up to the massive contract extension he signed last year.
“When they had their best teams, best offensive line in the league, they had all that to get to the playoffs, and he’s a bum,” Green said. “Now he’s making $65 million and it’s way harder to win. Like, you have to be like (Kansas City quarterback Patrick) Patty Mahomes good to be that highly paid and still go win. That’s a very hard thing to do. It’s over.”
