Hall of Fame coach Jimmy Johnson is raising eyebrows with his latest take on the Dallas Cowboys’ struggles, suggesting that the team’s “repeated mistakes” could lead to star receiver CeeDee Lamb’s departure. Is Johnson right to worry about Lamb’s future in Dallas, or is this just another dose of harsh reality from the outspoken analyst?
**Johnson’s Concerns**
Jimmy Johnson is dropping wisdom about the Dallas Cowboys, and the future of CeeDee Lamb. Johnson has noted the Cowboys made a “huge mistake” by extending Dak Prescott’s contract, and the Cowboys have several losing seasons[5].
**Dak’s Contract a “Mistake?”**
Johnson said he would have made Prescott play out the year[5]. If Prescott had won the Super Bowl, he wasn’t going anywhere. That’s when you pay him \$60 million[5].
**Lamb’s Importance to the Cowboys**
CeeDee Lamb is a vital component of the Cowboys’ offense. Prescott is also one of five on the second team[3]. Lamb’s departure would be a significant blow to the team’s competitiveness[3].
**Cowboys’ Playoff Struggles**
Johnson doesn’t see the Cowboys making the playoffs[1]. Johnson spoke bluntly after Dallas fell to Atlanta, saying he does not see the playoffs in the team’s future[1]. After a loss to the San Francisco 49ers it will dim any future hopes[2].
**Team Chemistry**
The Cowboys have also dealt with injuries, including star linebacker Micah Parsons[2]. Initially optimistic about Parsons’ return for Sunday’s game against the Falcons, he was unable to make it[2].
**Fan Frenzy: Time to Worry About Lamb?**
Johnson’s comments have ignited a debate among Cowboys fans[5]. Some believe he’s right to be concerned about Lamb’s future, while others dismiss his take as just another example of his blunt analysis[5].
Whether Johnson’s prediction comes to fruition remains to be seen, but his comments have undoubtedly added fuel to the fire surrounding the Cowboys’ future. The Cowboys need to make changes to become more competitive[3].
