Tony Romo is hurt again and the prevailing thought nationally is that the Cowboys season is already over. That’s hogwash as far as I’m concerned.

Contrary to popular belief, the Cowboys season is not over. Rookie quarterback Dak Prescott has shown that he is more than capable of leading the Cowboys the first six to ten weeks while Romo is out. 

Why do I have so much confidence in Prescott you might be asking? It’s all about the pieces around him. 

The Cowboys have arguably the best offensive line in football. They also have a potential thousand yard rusher in Ezekiel Elliot and they have Dez Bryant and Jason Witten. Bottom line, Prescott has plenty to work with. 

It’s all on him. If Prescott takes care of the football and the Cowboys defense plays well enough to keep them in games, they’ll be fine.

It will be interesting to see what the Cowboys do if Prescott plays well. Do they bench him in Week 10 in favor of Romo? I don’t think they should have to. What has Romo done to earn his job back in that situation? Nothing! They should stick with Prescott. For all you know, he could be the next Russell Wilson.

Losing your job to injury is terrible but it’s a fact of life in professional sports. Tony Romo needs to face the realty that his time in Dallas could be up if Prescott plays well.
