Terrence Parsons Jr., the brother of Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons, has taken to social media to defend Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Prescott has been criticized for his record in the playoffs, which currently stands at just two wins in seven games, with suggestions that he wilts under the pressure.
Parsons rubbished those claims, though, pointing to a recent post which suggests that Prescott is far more clutch than he gets credit for.
Micah Parsons’ Brother Fires a Shot at Dak Prescott’s Doubters
Prescott’s influence on the Dallas Cowboys is obvious; the team’s only two losing seasons since drafting the quarterback have come when he’s missed nine or more games. The quarterback’s impressive regular-season record, though, isn’t matched in the postseason.
According to a recent post by highly respected football analyst Warren Sharp, though, Prescott has been one of the most reliable quarterbacks in the NFL in pressure situations. Sharp posted a list with the caption, “most clutch QBs when you gotta have it.” The list ranked the best quarterbacks in the NFL since 2020, based on their performances when trailing in the final five minutes of games.
The list ranks Prescott sixth among all quarterbacks in that category during that time frame. Terrence shared the post, suggesting that the team’s playoff struggles are down to the whole roster, not simply the quarterback.
“They will tell you that Dak is a choke artist lol don’t let them lie to you,” he said. “It’s all about team at the end of the day if Dak had elite talent around him yall would have to talk about him in a whole new light and yall would hate it [sic].”

Does Prescott Receive Too Much Criticism?
Prescott is, at the very worst, a top-half NFL quarterback. But when you wear a star on your helmet, you will be compared to greatness at every turn. Prescott replaced Cowboys legend Tony Romo in Dallas, who, in turn, was the team’s first long-term starter since Troy Aikman.
The Cowboys are without a Super Bowl appearance since 1995, when the aforementioned Aikman won his third Lombardi Trophy alongside Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin. Cowboys fans have grown impatient with the team’s failure to repeat its past successes, and it’s only natural that the quarterback shoulders much of the criticism.
Regardless of Prescott’s performances, something he has provided plenty of during his time in the league, his legacy will be defined by his wins and losses. Thirty-two in September, Prescott is no longer the mobile threat that he was in his early years in Dallas, but he has plenty of time to leave his own mark on Cowboys history.
