Texas rivalry heats up as Cole Beasley's comment ignites battle between Texans and Cowboys fans
Cole Beasley found himself caught in a storm of controversy when he compared C.J. Stroud and Dak Prescott. The Houston Texans and Dallas Cowboys have a long-standing rivalry, both vying for the title of Texas kings. It’s amazing how a seemingly harmless comment on Twitter can ignite the wrath of so many.
It all started when Noah Brown compared C.J. Stroud to Dak Prescott. Brown, now with the Houston Texans, previously played for the Dallas Cowboys and was impressed by the rookie quarterback’s leadership. Former Dallas Cowboys player Cole Beasley jumped into the conversation, stating that if it’s true, it’s something special because Prescott has the best huddle presence among all the players he’s been with.
While Beasley likely intended it as praise, it didn’t sit well with Texans fans. Not only is Dak a rival quarterback from the same state, but his performance last year was lackluster. He tied for the most interceptions, along with the Texans’ own Davis Mills, during the regular season. Despite missing several games, Prescott became the league’s most turnover-prone quarterback.
Texans fans slam Beasley’s comments
The acquisition of C.J. Stroud by the Texans raises hopes that he can surpass the achievements of the Cowboys’ quarterback. In response, Texans fans took to Reddit to express their discontent, ranging from disdain to anger. The question arises: Was Cole Beasley correct in his assessment of Dak Prescott compared to C.J. Stroud?
One striking aspect of Beasley’s comment is his high regard for Dak Prescott. This raises another interesting question, considering Beasley has played with several quarterbacks, including Josh Allen of the successful Buffalo Bills. To say that Prescott is superior to Allen is high praise indeed.
Let’s not forget Beasley‘s short stint with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he had the opportunity to meet the legendary Tom Brady. And of course, Beasley played alongside Tony Romo before Prescott took over as the Cowboys’ starting quarterback.
Therefore, Beasley’s praise for C.J. Stroud goes beyond the rookie; it also reflects his unwavering confidence in Prescott’s abilities. While Texans fans may not appreciate it, Cowboys fans hope that their quarterback can outshine the likes of Josh Allen and Tom Brady in the future.
