Dallas Cowboys
' quarterback and wearer of jersey No. 4, has found himself on the shortlist of most hated players in the NFL. Interestingly enough, last year, Steelers running back Najee Harris termed Prescott "the most hated player in the league today".

Phil Simms Chimes In: A Silver Lining for Prescott
Bleav podcast host Matt Simms recently interviewed longtime NFL analyst Phil Simms on his thoughts about Dak Prescott. He said of Prescott: "When you watch the game in person, Dak Prescott stands out." Simms pointed out that even though Dallas is not doing things well, he still feels that Prescott has a level of composure that is critical during those crunch times. He said, "I don't think he ever gets rattled.". This veteran said that Prescott played well and at his best when he was facing the Dallas Cowboys.
Mixed Thoughts from Cowboys Fans
Despite Simms' praise, most Cowboys fans just don't buy into Prescott, saying he chokes. The difference in perception was brought to life in one tweet: Where fans are concerned about "the look in his eye" in losses, players say he is the coolest guy when the scoreboard is not in his favour. The debate rages on as the Cowboys sit at 2-2 after losing back-to-back matches to the Saints and the Ravens, leaving questions aplenty on Prescott's performance.
Dak Prescott's Frustration and Resilience
After taking a hard-fought loss at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens when the Cowboys came all the way back but eventually lost 28-25, Prescott got decidedly harsh with his critics. After the game, he told them bluntly: "Jump off if you want," directed at those who think it is time to abandon ship. It shows he is already pushing all negativity aside and determined to lift the game despite growing criticism, particularly since he signed up for a contract worth a whopping $60 million a year as the league's most-paid man.
