Damn onion cutting ninjas! Got me a little teary-eyed, his mom sounds like a great woman who knew how to raise her kids.

Even if he is not successful in the NFL, he will succeed later in life at whatever he chooses, can't teach those kinds of morals and character later in life :cool:
She raised her kids and other people's kids while struggling to live as a low income single mother. Strength.

ok read that , good read, I am even more convinced now.
I just hope he has a good 1st game.

One thing it doesnt bring up is he finished college and I think got a masters degree,
unlike many who come out early with no degree.
He has the physical talent, but also the intelligence, and character.
Agree. Intellect is A and physical ability A1 will follow the brain whever it leads.

Just a really good person. Still worried he'll have another DUI-type incident that gets blown up in the media, but even then, he has a good heart.

While watching the Carolina/Denver game yesterday, seeing Cam's attitude just has me thankful we didn't end up with someone who has a bloated ego.

Well, ya got me, speed.

I got a warm fuzzy from BR confused with BTB

A fan piece.
Not a fan piece (although much of BR is just as you say and I've spoken poorly about them as much as anyone here probably).

Here is about Jason King, the author of the article:

Jason King is a senior writer for B/R Mag. A former staff writer at ESPN.com, Yahoo Sports and the
Kansas City Star, King's work has received mention in the popular book series The Best American Sportswriting. In both 2015 and 2016, King was tabbed as one of the top five beat writers in the nation by the APSE.

So yeah, it is definitely worth the read.

Great story. Great person.

I am ready for Sunday and I think Dak will be too.

I have Dak and Andy Dalton playing the Jets. Who starts for my fantasy team this week?

Let's just say you had a million dollars riding on that decision, who do you think you should start?

There is certainly a mystique about Prescott.

It maybe Romo's team..

but I think it's now DAK's WORLD..

So happy to see the football gods seem to smile on us lately.
History is being made here. We are down to our third quarterback, he has never played in a regular season game and you are saying "the football gods are smiling on us.". And I agree. SMH.

What I see is similar to when Romo replaced Bledsoe..

but of course Bledsoe wasn't injured..just declining.

Romo is declining..he can'take stay on the field.

A QB being paid what he is being paid and producing no wins..

this can't continue.

Yep... except Romo wasn't a rookie. And then there's the Dak can run element making him more dangerous...and so far his deep ball is better...hard not to root for the kid.

I agree..

if Elliott and DAK can elevate the team past it's defensive problems..

Romo will not return as a starter.

Backup..yes.

We have no idea what Romo we will get back after almost 2 seasons of absence.

At 37.. I expect little?
