Kelly Stafford Thinks Mike McCarthy Is Wrong About Dak Prescott
Earlier this week Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy made it clear he thinks Dak Prescott is the most scrutinized quarterback in the NFL.
“I love Dak Prescott as our quarterback,” McCarthy said on Mad Dog Radio, via Jon Machota of TheAthletic.com. “I think the way he’s built all the way through, obviously his physical skill set is excellent. But what he endures mentally and emotionally compared to the other 31 [NFL starting quarterbacks] is unique."
"Speaking on experience of being around great quarterbacks [Joe Montana, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, etc.], I’ve never seen a quarterback under a microscope like he is. Just his consistency, his personality and work ethic, and how he handles all that, and navigates all that, and he goes out and performs every week, I think it’s special what he has to endure.”
McCarthy's comments caught the attention of Kelly Stafford, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. She made it clear she doesn't agree with McCathy's comment.
"Umm hold Matthew's beer," she said on her Instagram story.
Kelly clearly believes her husband is more scrutinized in the game of football than Dak. However, it's difficult to agree with her comments.
The quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys - whether it's Dak Prescott or Tony Romo - will almost always be the most scrutinized player in football. That comes with the territory of being "America's Team."
Who do you think is the most scrutinized quarterback in the league?
