The current situation with the Dallas Cowboys is far from what was expected, and Mike McCarthy‘s is even more complex. One of the most credible voices to weigh in on the matter is undoubtedly Aaron Rodgers, a longtime acquaintance of the head coach. The star QB of the New York Jets made his stance clear regarding the current state of McCarthy’s tenure with the team.

The situation for the quarterback and his Jets is also far from ideal in the NFL. However, the talented player took some time to reflect on what’s happening in Dallas, given the strong relationship he and McCarthy have built over the years.

In a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, the former Green Bay Packers player was asked whether the coach could turn things around in Dallas, as well as about the recent conflict with one of the team’s stars, Micah Parsons.

I love Mike, I love Mike. Mike’s Pittsburgh tough through and through, man. Love Mike, 13 incredible years together, so,” Jets QB stated.

He also added, “I ain’t got much to say besides that, man. Mike’s my boy. I love Mike and you know sometimes some people say things, (expletive) I’ve said a lot of things I want to say back, I’d like to have said back … What I know about Mike is, if anybody can handle that, down there, it’s big Mike. Big Mike is built for, he’s built for adversity.”

Micah Parsons and the atmosphere in the Cowboys’ locker room

The recent 34-6 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles has only intensified the atmosphere within the Cowboys’ franchise. Micah Parsons, one of the team’s stars, addressed the mood in the locker room and shared his thoughts on the future of some of his teammates.

“That’s above my pay grade—whether Mike is coaching again next year,” Parsons said. He also added: “Mike can leave and go wherever he wants, but I feel bad for guys like Zack Martin and other players who might be in their last year. Those are the guys I want to hold the trophy for. You want to win games and do great things for legends like that.”

While it was confirmed that Cooper Rush will replace Prescott for the remaining games of the season, Dallas also announced the addition of veteran Will Grier to the practice squad.

A third-round selection from West Virginia in the 2019 NFL Draft, Grier spent his initial two seasons with the Carolina Panthers before joining the Cowboys in 2021. That year, he was positioned as the team’s third-string quarterback, behind Prescott and Rush, stepping in for Ben DiNucci.
