was eager to have a face-to-face conversation with and express his thoughts about allegedly being overly critical of . The opportunity arose after the conclusion of the All-Star game in Indiana, and the two sat down to talk.
Smith has long been a vocal critic of the Dallas Cowboys. To a Cowboys fan, it may appear that he can be quite harsh when discussing Prescott. Parsons, who has consistently defended his quarterback, argued that Smith, like many other analysts, tends to be overly critical of Prescott’s performances, especially when the Cowboys lose.
During their recent conversation on a special segment of the Stephen A. Smith show, Parsons pointed out,
Smith interrupted Parsons, stating that Prescott is not a special case simply because he wears a star on his helmet. According to Smith, every other quarterback receives the same treatment.

The Dallas Cowboys are one of the most successful teams in the NFL. But what does success truly mean for an NFL team? Parsons, while discussing the excessive criticism of Prescott, attempted to highlight the fact that other quarterbacks have achieved success recently. He argued that, apart from Chief, only three Super Bowl victories can be considered as successes.
Therefore, according to that logic, every other team remains deeply entrenched in failure. Smith countered that this is not true at all. He reiterated his stance, mentioning players like and , who have achieved more than Prescott in the postseason. Despite having a longer career, Prescott has only won 2 out of 7 attempts.
Burrow reached the Super Bowl in 2022, losing to the Chiefs. Allen has consistently made it to the AFC divisional round for four years, unlike Prescott. Parsons argued that all of them should be treated the same because they have not won the Super Bowl.
So, is it the same for the San Francisco 49ers to reach the championship game and then lose in the Super Bowl to the Chiefs, compared to the Detroit Lions making it to the NFC title game for the first time since 1994 and winning the NFC North, but not the Super Bowl?
