Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has taken a lot of criticism over the years from fans and media. And teammate Micah Parsons went to some pretty insane lengths to defend his quarterback recently.
During a recent conversation with Stephen A. Smith, Micah Parson defended Dak Prescott from criticism and went as far as to suggest that Patrick Mahomes is the only quarterback in the AFC that should get more credit than Prescott.
“Besides Patrick Mahomes, what other quarterback in the AFC has accomplished anything to get more credit than Dak?” Parsons asked.
Micah Parsons cooked Stephen A OMG😂😭
Participation trophies is a no🙅🏾♂️🤣 pic.twitter.com/hrNO7HYybI

Smith responded by suggesting Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, as he’s taken his team deeper in the playoffs consistently. But Parsons did not seem to think that matters.
“It doesn’t matter how far you get. If you’re going home and you don’t have a ring, it doesn’t matter,” Parsons responded. “If you are not the Super Bowl champion, it does not matter what you have accomplished … if you do not win the big one, it does not matter … I’m not giving participation.”
Obviously, these comments led to a lot of reactions on social media.
Lamar is a 2x MVP
Burrow has a SB Appearance
Russell Wilson has 2 rings
Aaron Rodgers is a first ballot HoFer— ْ (@WoeeLeek) February 19, 2024
Josh Allen- 5 playoff wins, AFC Title game.
Lamar Jackson- 2 league MVPs, 2 playoff wins, AFC Title game.
Joe Burrow- 5 playoff wins, 2 AFC Title games, 1 Super Bowl appearance.
All three have less time in the NFL than Dak Prescott. https://t.co/CxXkwjxwIv

I get he's defending his guy. Dak is a top 10 QB, but there's like 5 AFC QBs I'd take over him rn. https://t.co/t2Gih6e9NO

It’s certainly an interesting way to look at it for Parsons, but it’s pretty clear that not many others agree.
