Tony Romo is hailed for his brilliant football mind, but Dak Prescott is leading a cast in Dallas that can’t stop winning
One of the things the Dallas Cowboys have always loved about Tony Romo is his football mind. Three years ago he played a significant role in developing the team’s offense, doing far more than most quarterbacks by sitting in most of the coaches’ offensive installation meetings during that offseason. Few quarterbacks have the patience or the understanding to attend those endless meetings and help design the offense. In the Cowboys offices he is seen as a football genius – even if this brilliance doesn’t always appear in the waning moments of the most important games.
But now that the broken bone in Romo’s back has recovered and Jerry Jones has said Romo will have his starting job back when healthy, the Cowboys should consider leaving Romo on the sideline where he can serve as an extra coach for Dak Prescott. For no matter how wonderful Romo is at breaking down tape and drawing plays on a whiteboard, Dallas should not pull Prescott. Their future quarterback should probably remain their current quarterback.
He’s as knowledgable about that as he is about foreign policy
