I mean what does he want? That fans and media just fawn all over him, even when he plays poorly?

There is a growing sense of entitlement in sports with these guys. Where they think that because they put on the uniform they should be given whatever they want, treated however they want, be largely free of criticism, etc. The extreme example right now is Ben Simmons in the NBA.

Hey Dak, you are the QB of the Dallas Cowboys. It's one of the most visible positions in all of sports. You had a choice a year ago where you could have just opted to not resign in Dallas and go to another team, maybe a place like Jacksonville where there would be less pressure to win, less media and fan focus, etc.

But you didn't do that. You chose to take the money and play in Dallas. With that comes certain things, one being you are going to get scrutinized and yes, criticized, when you don't play well. Whining about it now, or worse having your family whine about it for you, is just lame.

It just is.

I think it's really tacky that his family feels the need to come to his defense like this on public platforms.

Play better, and people will shut up.
No one controls their family. We've seen Dallas' record w/no Prescott. Dak back 12-5, while Moore calls a quarterback draw. Yeah ok, "play better".

"People" better known as haters, will NEVER shut up. Yawn!

I think the family needs to steer clear of the press and YouTube type formats.

Cooper Rush won in his first start in four years the NFL with this roster and didn’t have a problem getting thr ball to Cooper 8 times and hit Wilson on a beautiful like 50 plus yard strike that split two safeties.

Andy Dalton was 4-5 as the starter in Dallas with a way worse OL than Dak who happened to notch only 1 win, unless you count the game Andy Dalton finished for him and won.
