Jerry Jones: “Nothing Simple” About Deciding Between Romo & Dak Prescott

By playing Dak during these games, you can evaluate him against playoff-contending teams. Elliott had 64 yards in the first quarter, igniting two touchdown drives, then zipped 60 yards for a touchdown on Dallas’ first play of the second half.

It happened at Mississippi State, after starter Tyler Russell sustained a concussion in the 2013 opener.

Prescott is a 2011 graduate of Haughton.

Prescott has led the Cowboys to four consecutive wins and into first place in the NFC East.

Prescott, a rookie, told Sports Illustrated’s Pete Thamel that the starter debate is “not my issue to get involved in”, but he also said he doesn’t mind ceding his starting role to the Cowboys’ veteran quarterback, who has been nursing a back injury since preseason. Yeah, I want to play. If he looks as consistent and explosive as he has all season – he’s now ranked second among all National Football League quarterbacks in ESPN’s QBR metric – this game could go a long way toward keeping him atop the depth chart for the rest of the season and clinching his future with the franchise.

“I’ll show you some hard days around here without a quarterback (that would) really want to make you pout, ok?'” Jones said.

“I still think Dallas is going to go back to Romo, but I think they’ve got to be smart about how they handle this”, said Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman, who will be in the Fox booth for Cowboys-Packers. “Then Dak has to continue doing what he’s doing, prepare as well as he can and go play as well as he can and that’s pretty much where our focus is”. Even Prescott, likely influenced by Jones, called Romo the rightful incumbent. In football, when your time comes for you, all you’ve accomplished before is just a memory of what used to be. “I think he can make them better”. Do they [think they don’t] have quarterback meetings or coaches?

No less than team owner Jerry Jones has made that clear on several occasions though it doesn’t indicate that Prescott will be left in the doghouse, Fox Sports reported. “It’s like he’s a five-year vet”.

-Perhaps the mother of all recent quarterback controversies occurred in San Francisco when, in 2001, George Seifert had to choose between Joe Montana, who already had won the Super Bowl four times, and Steve Young.

Executive 2: Keep Romo, start Prescott. “And I love my sleep”.

Jerry Jones should stop talking about quarterback controversies, should stop saying it’s this guy’s job or that guy’s job, and should stop saying it’s all going to play out. “Not sure how you take him out”.

Don’t be stupid. Stick with Prescott.

In the same interview on Monday, Jones confirmed that Romo had an MRI and that the results “were just as we expected”, but he would not give an answer on when he may return to the field.

As Crash Davis in Bull Durham, Kevin Costner says that “a player on a streak has to respect the streak”.

Largely because of the passing game’s struggles, Green Bay enters Week 6 ranked 12th in scoring and 25th in yards.
