It’s a double-edged sword to play quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. On one hand, there’s no more high-profile position in the entire NFL. Even households that don’t religiously follow the sport often know the name of the signal-caller in Big D.
The flip side of that is how scrutinized the position is. No matter how much success a player has in this role, they are considered a disappointment unless they end up winning it all.
Dallas earned the moniker ‘America’s Team’ due to their winning ways in the 1970s and that set them up for a higher bar than many other franchises.
