Jones: "Dak's got a hot hand and we're going to go with it"

[Silver Surfer]

Per Archer from ESPN just now -

Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones on what the team will do at quarterback with an 8-1 record led by Dak Prescott: "We're going to let this decision in this case make itself. Dak's got a hot hand and we're going to go with it."

 

[Don Corleone]

So basically he is stating the obvious.

 

[Daillest88]

Excellent call. Let him continue to grow while winning in the process

 

[robbieruff]

As it should be...we have the best backup in the league at this point and I am OK with that.

 

[hornitosmonster]

Yup, even Jerry can't mess this up

 

[Ringo88]

As much as I love Tony, Dak has proven that this is his team now. He doesn't make mistakes, and he wins ballgames. Also, we now have the best backup in the league!

Gotta do what's best for the team, not for one player. Love Tony, one of my favorite Cowboys of all time, but I believe this is the right decision.

 

[Animosity]

Good. Was a bit afraid he was going to go back to Romo. Thank God thats not the case

 

[links18]

Romo hasn't played in over a year. It would be a fool's errand to insert him into the line-up of a team on an 8 game winning streak.

 

[canters]

That's why Jerry makes the big bucks....making the tough calls.

 

[fishspill]

Dak needs a lot of polish still. Needs to be consistent with his feet. That said it would be moronic not to let him learn in live action at this point. He's the future and the present.

 

[JJHLH1]

It's the only sensible thing to do. Dak has earned the right to continue starting. With 8 straight wins literally no team in Cowboys history has played better during the regular season.

 

[SDCowboy]

Still with the "hot hand" crap? Name this Dak's team already and lets move on with life!

 

[DejectedFan1996]

I love hearing from Coach/GM/President/Owner/MD Jones

 

[Cowboyz88]

Oh boy, some fans are going to crawl into the fetal position upon hearing this.

Me? No way, I am fan of the team and our starting, rookie QB is playing lights out.

Hate the term "hot hand". Implies Dak is not a fundamentally sound QB and that there is an element of luck to all this that could change in an instant. Absolute rubbish.

Why? It doesn't seem to be bothering anyone but fans and the media. lol

The team is rolling with whoever is keeping the Ws going. At this point, just ride the hot hand like they are.

 

[TrailBlazer]

Say the words. Tony is the backup.

 

[risco]

This is good news!!! Just let it work itself out.
