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 totaled 2,319 yards this season, the fourth-highest total in the NFL.
While the Cowboys’ defense has drawn plenty of criticism this season, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green recently took aim at the Dallas signal-caller. In his scathing assessment, Green called Prescott a “bum” and concluded that the quarterback would eventually 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, featuring co-host and NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the four-time NBA champion dismissed Prescott’s stats.
“He gets numbers and they stink,” Green said. “Dak is a bum… They will never win with Dak.”

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

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

Green also highlighted Prescott’s lucrative contract extension, suggesting the 32-year-old missed his championship window and ultimately won’t live up to the expectations attached to the deal.
“When they had their best teams, the best offensive line in the league, they had all that stuff to make 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 to get paid that well and still win. It’s a very difficult thing to do. It’s over.”
The Cowboys have just four playoff victories in the last quarter century and have not reached the NFC Championship Game since their last Super Bowl victory in the 1995 season. Dallas has a Week 10 bye before a Week 11 visit to Las Vegas for a matchup with the Raiders.
