ESPN: Does Dallas really have a chance with Dak Prescott?

[Gameover]

I dont think a Super Bowl is possible with Dak if that what they're asking.
In a perfect world, maybe contending for a wild card is.

I'd <1% for SB win and 25% for playoffs.

With Romo pre-Seattle...
10% and 85%.

With Dak and Romo now?
3% and 60%

Assumes Dak does a good job of keeping us in it the first 6-7 games.

Best odds are with the rook

I'm extremely intrigued and excited for week one maybe more so in a few years. Giants will certainly be expecting them to lean on the run game and will stack the box daring them to throw. What will Garret and company do? I hope they cut him loose regardless of the possible lumps he will most certainly take at some point and let's see what we have. Worst case scenario we end up with another top five pick to pep up the defense next year. Let the kid play because at this point there is no guarantees even if Romo comes back week two,three or four. Banking on Romo and trust me I love me some Romo has created this situation so it's has to be all in or bust whether he is in or out.

Dak has to do just about the minimum required of anybody else ever unvolved in circumstances like this except for maybe one guy in NFL history.

Does anybody know who Joe Ferguson was?

Well, Joe was the starting quarterback of the Buffalo Bills....the same year O.J. Simpson ran for over 2000 yards, first time ever.

O.J. Was nicknamed the "Juice". His offensive line was nicknamed, "the Electric Company".

In a 14 game season Joe threw 164 passes or 11.7 a game. They went 9--5.

Joe Ferguson was a rookie that season....a 3rd round pick.

Dak has a stable of thousand yard rushers , a pair of All Pro pass catchers and arguably the youngest, most athletic talented, group of O-linemen that weve seen in a very long time. I doubt he throws more than 20 to 25 passes a game.

I know the history of starting rookies.but this guy has been handed the keys to a convertble corvette....and he doesnt look alarmed.

more like a ferrari spyder 350 running on 87 octane
