ESPN host Stephen A. Smith is officially "worried" about Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones following the team's 34-10 loss to the Houston Texans on Monday night.

Smith, who loves to hate on the Cowboys, admitted even he doesn't want to make fun of the team's "sad" 2024 season. During Tuesday morning's "First Take" the host revealed he's seriously concerned about Jones' age as he continues in his role as the team's general manager.

Smith went as far as to compare Jones to President Joe Biden, who dropped out of the race just months before the 2024 election.

"I'm not joking when I say this, I'm getting very, very worried about Jerry Jones because the only thing that's worse than the team's play are his press conferences or whatever you want to call it when he's in front of the reporters where he says one thing after another after another after another," Smith said on 'First Take' this morning, in a clip via Awful Announcing.

"I find myself thinking about Joe Biden before he backed out of running for reelection. I think Jerry's actually one month older than President Joe Biden for crying out loud. I remember when I was on the airwaves literally, guys, nine to 10 months ago and I was like, 'he can't be the nominee, he's not going to make it to the Democratic National Convention, y'all got to change, you have to do something to change,'" he added. 

"And I'm looking at Jerry and I find myself asking where the [expletive] is Stephen Jones? Where the [expletive] are his family members? I know he's the owner and the president and the GM and I get all that, but somebody in the circle has to be able to stop you from just adding fuel to the fire because it is so bad right now they literally took the fun out of it."

Smith clearly believes it's best if the Cowboys make a clean break from Jerry Jones heading into the 2025 season. For his part, the longtime owner admitted the 2024 season hasn't gone as planned.

"We won one game my first year," Jones said. "One. And so have we had rough seasons? Yes. Yeah, I've been around. Certainly we have. And we've had other tough years. And this one, we didn't anticipate the record. And the way we're playing right now, we wouldn't have anticipated that. But, not, this isn't -- y'all have heard me tell these old stories until you're sick -- but not, you stay in this league long enough, you'll have times like this."

Following Monday night's game, Jones made it clear he doesn't believe head coach Mike McCarthy has "lost the team." 

"That losing the team stuff, that's so overblown," Jones said. "These guys are so, first of all, they're natural competitors. Secondly, they're so proud of the fact that they are professional and disappointed in maybe the way they executed the play, but that's not anything that's brother or first cousin to give up. ... Everybody's certainly disappointed, but that's a big difference in not knowing that you got to put the foot in front of the other to go."

Is Jones the problem?
