Stephen A. Smith calls out NY Giants for getting dominated by Dak Prescott’s Cowboys - “This team is just a disaster”

First Take host Stephen A. Smith called out the New York Giants after their 49-17 defeat to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

The Cowboys had no mercy against New York, obliterating their division rivals for the second time in 2023. All of the Giants' points came during garbage time, with the game decided by half-time.

Even though the Giants have one of the strongest fan bases in the league and a game against the Cowboys attracts great audiences, it was clear that this contest would be a no-contest right from the start. The disparity between the two teams is massive, and with Daniel Jones out for the season, the contest was unlikely to have been close, and so it proved.

Noted ESPN analyst Smith criticized the game for being picked to be live on national TV, with little possibility of the game being close, with Dak Prescott against Tommy DeVito being a big difference in quarterback quality.

Smith tweeted:

"The has to be shamed into keeping the off of National TV! This team is just a disaster. They ARE the swamp in East Rutherford NJ. They don’t even look qualified to be an NFL team.#GoodLord"

Are the Dallas Cowboys real contenders in the NFC?

The Dallas Cowboys are major playoff contenders, but they lost in the last two years to the San Francisco 49ers, who are the favorites in the NFC alongside the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Cowboys decided not to bolster the roster before the trade deadline - while overpaying is never good, Dallas' inactivity to improve a possible championship push could haunt them, especially looking at their direct rivals.

They need to start beating their direct contenders. The Cowboys lost to the San Francisco 49ers by a huge margin and also couldn't complete the comeback against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9. It doesn't matter if you're a contender - when January comes, you need to beat good teams. Plain and simple.

Dak Prescott's contract

Dak Prescott is in the third season on a four-year, $160 contract, which he signed before the 2021 season.

Prescott has a base salary of $31 million for 2023 while holding a cap hit of $49.1 million, which is the highest on Dallas' roster and the third-highest in the entire league for 2023.

A contract extension is coming for the quarterback, and even EVP Stephen Jones has already said that it's also the franchise's plan.
