As impressive as Dak Prescott has been, he’s clearly not keeping his job once Tony Romo is healthy.
No less an authority than Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said as much after Sunday’s win over Cincinnati.
“Tony is our No. 1 quarterback,” Jones said simply, via Todd Archer of ESPN.
“We’re going to have the luxury of being able to, I think, see them both,” Jones added. “Now I don’t want to take anything — presume that Dak is going to be necessarily healthy. I don’t want to presume anything like that, but I welcome the opportunity of having Dak playing at this level and Tony back in excellent health. It’s going to be really special for the Cowboys.”
We kind of knew this was coming. Romo is the team’s franchise quarterback. They won’t touch him as long as he’s healthy. That said, if the Cowboys struggle more under Romo than they are under Prescott, things could get interesting.
