- Dallas Cowboys Player Blasts New England Patriots’ Leadership
The Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots have both become historic franchises, with some of the most Super Bowl wins in NFL history. Though, the Cowboys haven't been able to hoist a Lombardi Trophy since 1995. Meanwhile, the Patriots have had much more recent championship success, last winning in 2018.
Yet, the NFL is all about what you've done lately, and the Patriots have been riding the struggle bus, missing the playoffs each year since 2021. As for the Cowboys, they've been much better, reaching the playoffs in three of the past four seasons.

This past offseason saw the Patriots and Cowboys execute a trade that sent quarterback Joe Milton from New England to Dallas. While the Patriots now have an all-new coaching regime, and even the Cowboys have changed head coaches from last season, Milton suggests the Patriots' previous setup could use a lot of work.
"Dak is a great leader. All respect to him. He literally goes out of his way to help me, no matter if the coach is talking in the meeting, he literally goes out of his way to help. . . . I've been in another building. I know how that goes. It's just very different over here."
The Patriots probably should be cut some slack here, considering they had a rookie, Drake Maye , leading their quarterback room last season. However, they also had other veterans on hand, such as Jacoby Brissett too. They weren't exactly focused on developing the sixth-round rookie as opposed to the third overall pick.
No matter what, we're guessing the Patriots won't have the same issues again under Mike Vrabel as opposed to last year with first-year coach Jerod Mayo .
