The Dallas Cowboys suffered yet another collapse in the playoffs, losing to the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card round. Much has been made about the team's miscues in the final moments of the game. However, according to a franchise legend, there's another area where they need to get better.
Dez Bryant, one of the more outspoken Cowboys legends in recent memories, delivered his criticism of quarterback Dak Prescott on Twitter. In his tweet, he asked Prescott to learn from Tony Romo when it comes to utilizing his weapons.
“If you really want to keep it a buck…Dak need to call up Romo and talk about how to read Defenses so he can understand the D weaknesses on how to utilize his weapons in certain situations..”
Amari Cooper is far from the Problem in Dallas so let’s get that straight…

Bryant isn't the only one to call out Prescott's inability to utilize his receivers to the best possible level. Troy Aikman, one of the best Cowboys players of all time, shared a similar sentiment, saying that Dak should've thrown to CeeDee Lamb more during the 49ers game.
While Cowboys fans might be seething at the idea of Bryant calling out their current player like this, this criticism doesn't seem to be a tear-down of Prescott. Rather, it's a former player giving constructive criticism to a younger generation and pointing him to a proper teacher. Tony Romo's excellence is well-known, and Dak Prescott could learn a thing or two under the former Cowboys' tutelege.
This off-season will be one full of questions for Cowboys Nation. It will be interesting to see what changes they make to improve on this disappointing season.
