Looks like Dak didn't take the advice on his helmet yesterday.

DALLAS, TX — Following yet another disappointing showing in the NFL playoffs, the Dallas Cowboys have made one last desperate attempt to regain the franchise's former glory by re-signing Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman.
The team reportedly lost confidence in quarterback Dak Prescott after he was unable to lead the team to victory against the underdog Green Bay Packers, instead placing an urgent late-night phone call to the retired 57-year-old Aikman.
"I didn't expect to get this call after being out of the game for so long, but I'm happy to help the team any way I can," Aikman said after news of the signing broke. "I don't walk as easily as I used to, I tend to forget even the most basic pieces of information after years of taking violent blows to the head, and my right arm fell off back in 2009, but I'm willing to be a team player and suit up again."
Though signing a quarterback of such an advanced age is an unprecedented move, the team believes it could result in positive publicity in addition to a potential upgrade at the position. "We know how beloved Troy is among our fanbase," said Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. "We feel bringing him back will score us some points with the fans and hopefully score some more points on the field. Anything is better than paying Dak millions of dollars every game to go out and throw the ball to the other team."
At publishing time, Cowboys fans soured on the signing after learning the team was required to bring in Aikman's broadcast partner Joe Buck as part of the deal.
I was extremely embarrassed
He coulda done better than prescott......which I predict will not be the QB in big D next season.
Even Quincy Carter would be an improvement.
If I hear “Here We Go!” one more time, I’m gonna lose it.
Cowboys got snookered by a team on the rise. Just like the Browns did. There’s a new game in town, and the old guard needs to get with it.
“How about those Soyboys”
That’s the thing. There’s little difference now between the NFL and College Football, as College Football has turned into an NFL Farm System. The best players will go to the schools that best prepare them for the NFL.
I was extremely happy. I’ve been a Giants fan for over 60 years going all the way back to Y. A.Tittle. Hate the cowboys.
He couldn’t do any worse....................
Well, it would be nice to hear it as he heads out the door one last time.....................
“Here I Go!”
Noe, ‘WE’ as in Him AND MCCARTHY!.................
Well, he’s a crummy announcer. So he can go back to what he did best.
I am a lifelong Cowboy hater, I won a trip to Super Bowl XXX and had to witness the Cowboys’ last hurrah first hand (Neil O’Donnell was NOT a Super Bowl calibre QB).
My Rams were eliminated yesterday, but having the Cowboys humiliated made the day acceptable,
Looks like Dak didn't take the advice on his helmet yesterday.
George Strait would have been a better quarterback than what they had the other night.
C’mon. Prescott has a tendency to get scared in the big games, but he still played pretty well in a lot of games.
Yeah, when the games don’t matter.
I remember that picture of Y. A.Tittle with grass and dirt hanging from his helmet. John Madden type football.
Would you rather have Dak Prescott or Jimmy Garoppolo?
