Smith<\/strong>\u00a0is convinced he is. The ESPN analyst was apparently blown away by the Dallas Cowboys quarterback\u2019s over-the-top optimism for his team, questioning whether it\u2019s displaying confidence or is truly out of touch with the Cowboys\u2019 current reality.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys not only finished the 2024 season at 7-10 but also fired head coach\u00a0<strong>Mike McCarthy<\/strong>\u00a0and promoted\u00a0<strong>Brian Schottenheimer\u00a0<\/strong>to the head coach\u00a0position, which was followed by even more criticism.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"perfmatters-lazy-youtube\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T2wssPFC0a4\" data-id=\"T2wssPFC0a4\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T2wssPFC0a4?feature=oembed&amp;autoplay=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>If that wasn\u2019t enough, the franchise has also not made any move to acquire the\u00a0available star\u00a0<strong>Myles Garrett<\/strong>, who is arguably considered the missing piece to ending Dallas\u2019 three-decade-long Super Bowl drought. Amid all this, when the ESPN analyst heard\u00a0Prescott assert that his team\u00a0is on the cusp of their own championship run, he couldn\u2019t help but wonder if the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history was \u201c<em>delusional<\/em>\u201d?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n<blockquote><p><em>This is Dak Prescott, when has he not been delusional?
