The Dallas Cowboys dropped Monday night’s game against the Arizona Cardinals and fell to 3-5-1 on the season. Dak Prescott finished with 259 passing yards, a touchdown and an 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 much of the criticism this season, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green recently took aim at the Dallas signal caller. In his scathing assessment, Green labeled Prescott a “bum” and concluded that the quarterback would ultimately finish his tenure in Dallas without winning a championship.

In an Instagram clip from an upcoming episode of “Why Does Draymond Green Talk About Football?” podcast, with co-host and NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the four-time NBA champion dismissed Prescott’s statistics.
“He gets some numbers and they stink,” Green said. “Dak is a bum … They’ll never win with Dak.”

Green clarified that he believed Prescott was a quality player, but raised questions about the quarterback’s ability to deliver in clutch moments.
“You have to understand when I say bum, I’m not saying Dak Prescott isn’t a good NFL quarterback,” Green explained. “Obviously he’s a good NFL quarterback. But I say when the money’s on the line, when it’s for all the balls, who are you? He’s a bum.”

Despite Dallas’ defensive concerns, Prescott has helped the Cowboys put together the NFL’s third-best scoring offense. match.
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 has missed his championship window and ultimately won’t live up to the expectations that came with the deal.
“When they had their best team, 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 a lot harder to win. Like, you have to be like (Kansas City quarterback Patrick) Patty Mahomes good to be paid that much and still win. It’s a very hard thing to do. It’s over.”
The Cowboys have just 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 on a Week 10 bye before a Week 11 visit to Las Vegas for a matchup with the Raiders.
