Prescott would be the first rookie quarterback to start a Cowboys’ season opener since Quincy Carter in 2001.

The Dallas Cowboys open their season two weeks from today. His work in the preseason has been nothing short of phenomenal: 454 yards on 39-of-50 passing with five touchdowns and no interceptions.
For now, the Cowboys are taking it slow with their franchise quarter back.
After the game, the Cowboys and Romo thought they had dodged a bullet.
“If you guys remember, he has played with fractures in his back before”, Garrett said, referring to Romo’s quick return from a small fracture in his back in 2014.
He also had a ideal passer rating in their game against the Miami Dolphins, so everyone in Dallas, including Jones, seems ready to start 2016 with Prescott as their starting quarterback.
There must be something special in the water at the new Dallas Cowboys team facilities. I swear to you, in [pre-draft] visits, every play they showed me, I could name it. Despite not winning a Super Bowl in 20 years, and despite making the playoffs just once in the last six seasons, they remain the most popular and hated team among National Football League fans. However, the veteran QB’s injury is starting to pile up and he might never be the same player again for the Cowboys after the latest injury. And for Dallas, it was a moment they were hoping they could avoid this year. If the quarterback position, whoever it may be, can stay solid, the Rams have a great opportunity to even make the playoffs. However, an MRI scan carried out the next day revealed that the injury was far worse than he and Cowboys fans could’ve imagined.

When reminded he never relinquished the starting role, Prescott responded, “I’m just gonna do the same thing I did then and just prepare to help my team win and be the best player I can be”. For the last 10 seasons the Cowboys are 78-49 with Romo as the starter and 10-23 when Romo is not playing. With Carson Wentz missing a second straight game because of fractured ribs, Bradford led the Eagles on three touchdown drives and to a third straight preseason victory. Is McCown too valuable to part with at this time? “But we totally understand there’s going to be question marks and people are going to question whether we can get it done”.
