"Dak isn’t the problem. Ezekiel and Jerry Jones? Yep", "He may be the worst QB in the league, I can't believe that salary" - NFL fans left debating who to blame for Cowboys' defeat to Buccaneers

The Dallas Cowboys spent weeks preparing for their primetime battle against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night to kick off their NFL season. It was tabbed as one of the marquee quarterback matchups of the season but was anything but.The Cowboys were unable to get any offense going in a 19-3 loss. The Buccaneers didn't look as elite as they were expected to be, but a win is a win.The loss leaves the Cowboys with a lot of questions, especially after it was revealed that Dak Prescott would need surgery to repair a hand injury. He will need at least a few weeks to fully recover.Even before he left the game, Prescott wasn't good. He finished 14/29 for 134 yards and one interception. While no player is hardly ever the only one to blame for a defeat, NFL fans needed something to blame for the embarrassing loss.Many blamed Prescott, appalled at his salary, while others felt the roster had far worse issues than its quarterback.Jason Whitlock@WhitlockJasonDak Prescott $40 million a year.

But when you're a member of the $40 mil per year club, you have to be an engine for winning and I don't think Dak is that.18@WhitlockJason Yes you did Jason. I admit I rooted for Dak to get paid.

What did you expect? 🤣2@WhitlockJason He has a depleted o line, mediocre tight end and one WR. What did you expect? 🤣Are the Dallas Cowboys done for the year?Without Dak Prescott, Dallas is in trouble. Many believed they'd start the season in an 0-2 hole given their tough schedule. They're now 0-1 and staring at several games with a backup quarterback.Initial expectations are that Prescott will miss at least six weeks. If Dallas goes worse than 3-3, the playoffs might be out of the question.They have to play the Cincinnati Bengals, the Los Angeles Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles during that time. The Green Bay Packers also loom in a game Prescott may not be healed for.Unless they can find someone else, backup Cooper Rush will be tasked with keeping them afloat, which will be a tall task. Anything can happen, but it doesn't look good for the Cowboys.Seattle Seahawks v Dallas, Cooper Rush in actionThe options at quarterback are slim. Cam Newton and Mike Glennon are the most likely free agent options. They might be able to convince Ryan Fitzpatrick to return from retirement or Jimmy Garoppolo to waive his no-trade clause, but the options are few and far between.
