Dak Prescott: Tony Romo is a great model for me

A day after Tony Romo conceded that the Cowboys are now Dak Prescott’s team, Prescott praised Romo for providing veteran leadership that has helped him succeed.

“He’s been a great leader, a great model for me to look up to and watch every day,” Prescott said. “It was an emotional statement for him to say that, but I”m not surprised. I know how much he cares about this game, how much it means to him, how much he puts into it every day, how much this team means to him.”

Prescott said he doesn’t need the Cowboys to be viewed as his team, as he views the Cowboys as “our team.”

“This is everybody’s team. It’s not just about the quarterback position,” Prescott said.

Just as Romo handled the situation with class yesterday, Prescott handled it with class today. And starting tomorrow, there won’t be any quarterback controversy to talk about at all: Prescott is the starter and Romo is the backup, and that won’t change. Both quarterbacks know that.

Such cruel irony that the best thing for this franchise turns out to be the worst thing for Tony Romo.

But Dak's earned it 100% and it wasn't handed to him. He's made the very most of his opportunity and continues to do the right things day in and day out.

It sucks for Tony but that's sports. It sucked for Drew Bledsoe 10 years ago too.

True, but Bledsoe mainly got pulled for bad play.

As much as I am happy to have Dak, and I'm a huge fan of his, and I made no effort to hide the fact I was ready to see Romo go.....I now feel bad for him, and now remember the guy I once rooted for to the core.

Still like him as a person, great guy.

Looking at it now, I wish he didn't have to go out this way. As bad as this sounds, I would feel more at peace knowing, his back was done ( football wise) and had to hang it up to Dak.
