Jerry Jones Facing Pressure To Step Down After 'Disrespecting' Dak Prescott originally appeared on The Spun .
The Dallas Cowboys kicked off training camp Monday with a press conference led by owner Jerry Jones. Unsurprisingly, he made a few head-scratching remarks during his lengthy conversation with the media.

One of the biggest concerns for the Cowboys this summer is Micah Parsons ' contract situation. The All-Pro pass rusher is due for a massive extension. In four years in Dallas, he has racked up 256 combined tackles, 112 QB hits, 52.5 sacks and nine forced fumbles.
While discussing the risks that come with signing a player to a long-term contract, Jones mentioned how injuries can happen at any moment. He then took an unwarranted jab at Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott .
"Just because we sign him [Micah Parsons] doesn't mean we're gonna have him. He was hurt 6 games last year," Jones said . "I remember signing a player for the highest paid at the position in the league and he got knocked out 2/3 of the year - Dak Prescott."

Prescott missed nine games last season due to a partial avulsion of his right hamstring. There aren't many injuries as brutal as that. If we had to guess, he's probably not thrilled about Jones taking a shot at him.

With that said, NFL fans are crushing Jones on social media this Monday.
"At what point in society are we going to realize that having 75+ year old people make decisions is asinine," one fan said.
"I've never really been one to consider switching teams, but the last few years of the Jones family make me sit on my last leg of being a Cowboys fan," a second fan wrote on X.

"Jerry Jones is the worst man. Makes it miserable rooting for that team," another fan said.
"He's senile, Stephen needs to convince him to step down as GM," a social media user declared.
"Anytime you can publicly take a dig at your star quarterback and your star pass rusher simultaneously, right before the season begins, you just gotta take it… Nothing makes guys want to fight for you more than hearing how upset you are that they got hurt while fighting for you," former NFL star J.J. Watt sarcastically said.

This isn't the first time Jones has made a questionable comment in public, and we feel comfortable saying it won't be the last time either.
Will this be a distraction for the Cowboys? Probably not, but fans in Dallas are tired of all this unnecessary drama manufactured by the most vocal owner in the NFL.
