The Dallas Cowboys are well on their way to a 0-3 start at home this season as the Detroit Lions are bullying them in Arlington.

Dallas has been awful in every facet, as the defense has surrendered 27 points and their offense mustered just six. While every player on the team deserves criticism, Dak Prescott remains the main talking point.

That's often the case for Prescott, who is the highest-paid player in the league. He also has the most visible position as the signal-caller for America's Team. That's why it's not uncommon to see fans battle it out on social media, which is the case after a frustrating first half against the Lions. Here's a look at some of the more extreme reactions on Twitter.

Dak Prescott haters are out in full force

Most fans go right after the salary, which is the norm in sports. For Prescott, it doesn't help since Jerry Jones tries to blame Prescott for the lack of offseason moves — which is an unfair claim.

Dak Prescott is paid $60 million a year to be completely average at his job.

What a country.

Just no excuse for Dak Prescott to make that throw, and that mistake. This is two weeks now of Dak making crucial red zone errors, wiping points off the board for the Cowboys.

Dak Prescott is one of the most inaccurate QBs in the league.. I need people to speak more on this man.. his accuracy is so dog shit and inconsistent

Dak Prescott believers remain undeterred

Not everyone is upset with Prescott, however. There are still those who believe the players around him are letting him down. One example was when Jake Ferguson was unable to haul in a pass that hit him in both hands.

Are we giving Dak any credit for that cross-field dot that Fergy dropped?

Or do we just ignore it because it goes against our priors about him?

I love blaming Dak Prescott when we run for negative yards and our players drop balls…

Dear Dak Prescott,

I believe in you. I know you can make this comeback happen if you have even an ounce of help from your team around you. Don’t let the haters get to you. Sling that ball with no fear 4. Show them what you do best 4. Show them what you’re made of 4.

The reason Dak Prescott has to be perfect and can’t afford those red zone interceptions is because this defense can’t stop a thing.

Every offensive possession becomes THAT much important because of it.
