Sean, let's have a conversation about number four here, the starting quarterback,

0:04.1

because with all of the time that we've talked about the Cowboys in the first three weeks of the season,

0:10.4

a majority of it is, I mean, you can kind of pick the segment.

0:14.2

It's going to be about the defense.

0:15.9

It's going to be about the pass rush, the secondary, the injuries, Jerry Jones, the Micah Trade. It's all very newsworthy.

0:24.7

And we don't really talk about Dak Prescott anymore in the season that he's had, where he's

0:30.6

seriously had to do everything on this team. He has. And I know he hasn't been perfect, but if you actually look at what he's doing,

thought DAC is good to very good. I've never thought Dak Prescott is great. And I think the Jerry

1:18.5

Jones and company, and again, his agent also has a hand in this. I just feel bad that he's the top

1:23.6

paid player in the NFL because he's not the best player in the NFL. And when you have a

1:27.8

quarterback that has that pay grade, you expect them amidst injuries, amidst poor defense, whatever,

1:34.0

to be the tide that lifts all boats. And Dak really, as much as I like the guy, love the guy,

1:39.6

he's never been that player throughout his career. No, he's never been the best quarterback in the

1:43.9

NFL. Even though he was never been the best quarterback in the NFL.
