I’m sure Tony’s aware of that. “I’m not shocked that he’s played this well”.

Not exactly the start to the year that Cowboys fans have been waiting for- the true blue faithful that have been eagerly anticipating a bounce back year after an injury plagued 2015-16 National Football League season where the team only managed to win one out of twelve games played without Romo. However, a Doctor recently weighed in on how much time he believes Romo will really miss according to Jim Scott. So maybe those comparisons to McNabb are a bit premature. “Things happened a lot faster than I think we all expected it, but they have confidence and just continue being the person I am”.
And to be compared to the greatest quarterback in Eagles’ history comes with quite the lofty expectations, puking in the huddle included. With numerous spots already locked and decided, there are still those who need a good showing this final week of the preseason to impress the coaching staff of the Cowboys to stay on the roster for the time being.
“He’s very driven, driven to do what it takes to get back”, said Jones. Kellen Moore appeared in three games last season, the only ones of his two-year career, after Romo broke his collarbone. He suddenly finds himself in line to start their opener as a rookie quarterback with Tony Romo sidelined by yet another back injury.
Following Thursday’s game, the Cowboys dismissed any idea that the injury was serious. “The bone should heal relatively quick and then he’ll just need to get that back in good strength and we’ll go from there”.
In a conference Garrett stated, “We’ve gotten a lot of different timetables for when he can return”.
Prescott was impressive enough in the first two preseason games to make owner and general manager Jerry Jones comfortable with him as Romo’s backup, rather than bringing in a veteran.

The 49ers, who added five players to the roster before Prescott was selected and eventually took Southern Mississippi quarterback Jeff Driskel in the sixth round, could regret not pouncing if the whole Blaine Gabbert-Colin Kaepernick situation doesn’t work out. The Cowboys were 1-11 in games without Romo past year and 1-13 without him over the last three seasons. The Cowboys also struggled to develop a deep threat without Bryant, an All-Pro in 2014 when the Cowboys won the NFC East and a playoff game. “Like I said, keeping each other lifted and building real chemistry”. “And I think he’s ready for it”. The Raiders traded up to get Michigan State’s Connor Cook, who went at No. 100, 35 picks before Prescott went off the board at No. 135.
