Is Dak Prescott's Era in Dallas a Failure?

ESPN host Stephen A. Smith has called Dak Prescott's time with the Dallas Cowboys a "failure." Despite the Cowboys' regular season success, with multiple playoff berths and solid records, there has been a lack of postseason success. The Cowboys have made three trips to the divisional round with Prescott but have lost each time, including a wild card loss in 2021. Smith believes this is a damning indictment of the current era of Dallas football, especially considering the team's value of over $10 billion. Smith also pointed out that the Cowboys have not made a Super Bowl appearance or an NFC championship game appearance since 1995. While the Cowboys have had respectable seasons and moments, they have not lived up to the expectations of being labeled a Super Bowl contender. With the 2023 season approaching and the Cowboys set to face the Giants in their opener on September 10th, the question remains: Is Dak Prescott's era in Dallas a failure?
