The Dallas Cowboys lost Monday night’s game against the Arizona Cardinals, falling to 3-5-1 on the season. Dak Prescott finished with 259 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception.
Prescott, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, has thrown for 2,319 yards this season, fourth most in the NFL.
While the Cowboys defense has received a lot of criticism this season, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green recently took aim at Dallas’ signal-caller. In his scathing assessment, Green called Prescott a “bum” and concluded that the quarterback would ultimately end his tenure in Dallas without winning a championship.

In an Instagram clip from an upcoming episode of “Why is Draymond Green Talking About Football?” Podcast, with co-host and NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the four-time NBA champion dismissed Prescott’s stats.
“He’s getting some numbers and they suck,” Green said. “Dak is a bum… They will never win with Dak.”

Green made it clear that he believed Prescott was a quality player, but raised questions about the quarterback’s ability to deliver in crunch time.
“You have to understand that when I say lazy, I’m not saying Dak Prescott isn’t a good NFL quarterback,” Green explained. “Of course he’s a good NFL quarterback. But what I’m saying is, when money is on the line, when it’s for all the marbles, who are you? He’s lazy.”

Despite Dallas’ defensive concerns, Prescott has helped the Cowboys form the NFL’s third-best offense in points per game.
But Prescott’s turnover and the offensive unit’s deficiencies in the red zone contributed to Monday’s loss to Arizona.

Green also pointed to Prescott’s lucrative contract extension, suggesting the 32-year-old missed his championship window and ultimately won’t live up to the expectations that came with the deal.
“When they had their best teams, the best offensive line in the league, they had all that to make the playoffs, and he’s lazy,” Green said. “Now he’s making $65 million and it’s a lot harder to win. You have to be like (Kansas City quarterback Patrick) Patty Mahomes, good to have that high a salary and still be able to win. That’s a very hard thing to do. It’s over.”
The Cowboys have only four playoff wins in the last quarter century and have not reached the NFC Championship Game since they last won the Super Bowl in the 1995 season. Dallas is bye in Week 10 before a Week 11 visit to Las Vegas for a showdown with the Raiders.
