2023-08-31
Avast ye scurvy dogs! Methinks this Mark Schlereth, a bloke with three Super Bowl victories, be of the opinion that the Cowboys shan't be hoisting another championship flag soon. And lo, he be grumbling 'bout that scallywag coach Mike McCarthy too! Arrr, what a tale!
Legendary Denver Broncos offensive lineman Mark Schlereth criticized Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones for trading for quarterback Trey Lance without consulting with the team's starting quarterback, Dak Prescott. Schlereth expressed his frustration on the "Stinkin' Truth" podcast, stating that Jones's impulsive decision-making is the reason why the Cowboys will never win anything. Schlereth, who won two Super Bowls with the Broncos and one with Washington, emphasized the importance of involving the head coach, Mike McCarthy, in discussions about potential trades. However, McCarthy revealed that he was excluded from the Lance trade. Schlereth questioned Jones's respect for his own coaching staff and claimed that his recent actions would hinder the Cowboys' chance of success in the NFL. Despite finishing the 2022 regular season with a 12-5 record and winning the wild-card round against the Buccaneers, the Cowboys lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round. Schlereth expressed doubt that the Cowboys would make a deep postseason run in the upcoming season, stating that they often underperform when it matters most. He concluded that although the Cowboys may win regular-season games due to their talent, they will ultimately disappoint in the playoffs, as they have done consistently in recent years.
