Brice Butler slams Cowboys culture and Jerry Jones — Says even Patrick Mahomes would fail where Dak Prescott plays | NFL News
Dak Prescott’s Super Bowl drought continues, but a former Cowboys receiver believes the blame is misplaced. In a league where quarterbacks are either crowned or crucified, Brice Butler has reignited the debate with a fiery take: even Patrick Mahomes would struggle to win under the Dallas Cowboys system run by Jerry Jones.
Is Cowboys culture killing championship hopes?
Brice Butler, who played alongside Dak Prescott in Dallas, didn’t hold back on the Go Long TD Podcast. “Dak can take a team to the Super Bowl,” he insisted. According to Butler, the problem isn’t Prescott’s talent, it’s the organization’s priorities. And he went further: “Even if Pat Mahomes is the Dallas Cowboys quarterback and say Dak was in Kansas City. I’d say Dak goes to the Super Bowl at least one time and Pat doesn’t.”It’s a bold statement, but not without merit. Despite being one of the NFL’s most talented quarterbacks, Prescott has yet to reach even an NFC Championship game. But the Cowboys’ issues go far beyond the quarterback position. Time and again, Dallas has missed out on elite talent—most notably, Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley. Both running backs were interested in joining the Cowboys. Both were ignored.Henry, who trains in Dallas during the offseason, openly stated he expected a call that never came. Barkley waited too and ended up thriving elsewhere. Jerry Jones claimed the team “couldn’t afford” them. That excuse is hard to swallow when the Cowboys are the most valuable sports franchise in the world, raking in over $1.2 billion in revenue in 2023 alone.Butler’s bigger point is this: the Cowboys are a business-first brand. Jones has built an empire that prints money, regardless of playoff results. AT&T Stadium hosts concerts, boxing, college football—anything that fills seats. And because the brand remains bulletproof, there’s less pressure to deliver a Super Bowl.Prescott, now entering his 30s, knows the clock is ticking. “I want to win a championship,” he said recently. But with a front office more focused on sponsorships than signings, is that even possible?Also Read: Jason Kelce’s wife Kylie Kelce slams judgment over breastfeeding in public: “You haven’t seen my B*obs”Until Dallas prioritizes football over financials, the quarterback may not matter. And if Butler is right, no QB—not even Mahomes—can win in Dallas under the current system.
