Dak Prescott: Tony Romo is a great model for me
Posted by Michael David Smith on November 16, 2016, 4:09 PM EST

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.

We are blessed with not ONE but TWO class acts at QB.

Thank you!

Learn from Romo, he's your best resource.

Everybody's team.

Both class acts. As I was reminded in another post, Young/Montana did not go this well. We are lucky to have both of them.

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.

Young/Montana

Favre/Rodgers.

Both transitions were problematic at best. This one figures to go much more smoothly.

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.

Everybody's team.

Correction. America's team.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

The best part of this for me is they are both home grown Cowboys.

Correction, the worlds team.

 

[Plumfool]

Class act.

Exactly.

the fact that we're able to make such comparisons is just freaking wonderful

Love this kid. Teams gotta be dying watching Dallas nab these two in undrafted free agency and a 4th round comp pick.

Cleveland can't do that with 100 first-round picks.

You just said something.

Was waiting for this. Handled it great, as expected.
