Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott started his comeback season off strong, but after a calf injury, he seems to be struggling. Prescott himself has said that he isn’t playing to his full potential at the moment. He acknowledged that he has to get better if the Cowboys are going to make a run.

Bayless and Sharpe spoke about Prescott’s performance, and Bayless stated that he wasn’t happy with the way Prescott was handling his current play. Bayless said that he didn’t agree with Prescott when he said he wasn’t currently in a slump. Bayless thinks that Prescott is, indeed, in a slump and that he should acknowledge that publicly.

“As much as I love Dak Prescott, I do not love the way he's publicly handling all this. The first thing was I wouldn't say it's slump material. It just is, I'm sorry. This is lipstick on a pig. This is trying to delude yourself into believing. Okay, I told you earlier in the show, the great ones just own it. But the great ones don't go six weeks where there's one outlier game like against Atlanta home where you have a QBR of 94, lead the week that week with a 94 and all the rest of them are just straight garbage, all of them."

Dak Prescott also said that he is glad that others have the same high expectations for him that he has for himself and that they care about how he is playing.

That testament wasn't enough for Skip Bayless. He doesn't feel that Prescott is owning his poor performance as of late. Bayless believes that Prescott should acknowledge that he is in a slump.

"So you got five garbage and you got one outlier. Sensational. And he says it's not slump material. Yes, it is."

The Dallas Cowboys will travel to MetLife Stadium to take on the New York Giants on Sunday afternoon as they continue to try and keep the division lead as the season winds down. Can Dak Prescott and the offense fix their mistakes before Sunday? We won't know until then.
