"It starts with Jerry Jones": Ex-NFL Super Bowl champ points finger at Dallas Cowboys owner for team's continued struggles

The Dallas Cowboys are on a three-game losing streak this season. They sit in third place in the NFC East with a 3-5 record, and all the hopes of making it to the playoffs are vanishing.

Amid the turmoil that Dallas is experiencing, former Super Bowl champion Chase Daniel is putting all the blame on the Cowboys owner, Jerry Jones, for the team's never-ending struggles.

"The biggest issue is, for me, it starts at the top, right? It starts with Jerry Jones," Daniel said on "The Facility" on Monday.

He started by questioning the Cowboys ownership's decision to sign a long snapper, Trent Sieg.

The former QB raised another important point about coach Mike McCarthy. Since McCarthy is in the last year of his five-year deal and did not get a contract extension ahead of the 2024 NFL season, Daniel feels McCarthy is now a "lame-duck" coach.

Additionally, Daniel pointed out the irony of how players are often swapped if they fail to perform at par while the owner remains untouched. This makes the head coach a scapegoat for the team's degrading show.

While continuing to present his opinion, Chase Daniel also brought up Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott's struggles this season.

Chase Daniel feels Dak Prescott deserves better support from Dallas Cowboys

Chase Daniel feels the NFL's highest-paid player, Dak Prescott, is carrying the weight all alone in Dallas despite high expectations from him. The only player in the Cowboys who is strong on offense is CeeDee Lamb.

Per Daniel, things have turned out to be worse for the Cowboys with the lack of a solid running game. Plus, the team avoided signing important players like Derrick Henry, who is now playing with the Baltimore Ravens and is outperforming in rushing yards.

As per Jerry Jones, the Cowboys did not sign Henry due to "fit and cap management."

Daniel, who is a Texas native and a long-standing Cowboys fan, said it is highly upsetting for him to see both offense and defense performing poorly.

Surprisingly, Jones is still optimistic about turning things around.

"I have seen too many times when this thing gets to looking dark, I've seen a positive jump up there and go from there," Jones said to the media when asked about the direction of his team. "Personally, I'm a long way from being dismayed about our team, about this year."

In the Week 10 matchup, the Cowboys will face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
