Aikman Questions Dak's Future

0:00On April 14, Troy Ackman, the three-time Super Bowl champ in Cowboys legend, just dropped some real talk on the team's future. He's questioning if quarterback Dak Prescott can stay healthy and keep performing at an elite level as he gets older. At 36 now, Dak's the engine for Dallas, but Ackman wonders if he'll even make it through a full 18-game season or into the playoffs. Earlier this week in an interview, Ackman pointed out Dak's injury history. Early ends in 2020, and last year, plus a 5-game missing, 2022. Still, Dak bounced back strong at age 32, leading the league in completions, throwing for over 4,500 yards and 30 touchdowns. But the Cowboys didn't even sniff the postseason. Cowboys fans are feeling the heat from this, getting nervous about another wasted year. Some blame Dak, saying he's not elite enough, while others argue the team hasn't built a strong enough roster around him, especially on defense. Ackman acknowledges Dak's the highest paid player at 60 million a year, so it's tough

Dak, CD-LAM, even tagging A, receiver leaving holes elsewhere that the offseason fixes and draft might not fully plug. Bottom line, with Dak's prime taken away, Ackman says the Cowboys can't afford more seasons like last one, were talent flashes, but playoffs vanish.
