Many people believe that the defense is the most important element of an NFL team. However, the Dallas Cowboys head coach isn’t one of them. Mike McCarthy, who has already won a Super Bowl as a head coach, thinks that one other thing is more important than defense.

According to McCarthy, “Defense wins championships, but the Super Bowl is won by the quarterback.” Mike McCarthy won the Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers as his quarterback. He knows how important a QB is for a team.

He believes that Dak Prescott is the most important player for the Cowboys if they want to win the Super Bowl. Last season, they made immense progress but faced a disappointing loss in the NFC Wildcard Game.

That loss to the San Francisco 49ers must have stung everyone on the Cowboys’ team. McCarthy’s position as head coach was also jeopardized as a result. However, the franchise showed their trust in him. They believe that he is the right man to take them to the Super Bowl.

Making a progress this season will be tough for the Dallas Cowboys

Last season, although they faced a disappointing loss to the 49ers in the first playoff game, the Dallas Cowboys won their division and made the playoffs. However, reaching the playoffs this time around won’t be a cakewalk for America’s team.

In the off-season, the Philadelphia Eagles have gotten stronger. They will give the Cowboys a tough fight to win the division title. The Commanders have also got a new quarterback in Carson Wentz, and you never know about him.

As a result, the Cowboys, led by Dak Prescott, will be required to be at their best throughout the season. Mike McCarthy will be required to prove he is the right man for this high-pressure job. Any small slip-ups along the way could cause them to miss the playoffs. If that happens, then maybe Jerry Jones will take some tough decisions.
