News: PFT: Cowboys slam door on talk on benching Dak Prescott

[NewsBot]

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had the worst night of his 13-game NFL career. But that wasn’t enough to get the Cowboys to consider flipping the switch back to one of the best quarterbacks in franchise history. Asked after the the 10-7 loss to the Giants whether the team considered benching a struggling Prescott for a…http://youwillnotrackme2.net/b.gif?host=profootballtalk.nbcsports.com&blog=&post=2430428&subd=nbcprofootballtalk&ref=&feed=1

I would hope people would have a bit of sense about themselves not to think they'd shut Dak down over one bad outing.

They're married to him for 2016. Win, lose, or draw.

Yeah, a couple more performances like that and Jerry will get ideas. He wasn't going to fire Coach Cupcake either until he did.

All about the hot hand...

People forget a few things: the coaches see Romo every day in practice, it's not 2014, he's barely played in 2 years, he's 36 and coming off multiple surgeries. To expect him to be the savior is unrealistic. To bench Dak for his second loss in 13 games would be pure panic, and not the kind of thing you want to see from the front office.

Fans can panic and some take full advantage of it. If the team panics, forget about it.

Support your important role players...good.

At some point, and without being socially irresponsible by name tags, Tony Romo needs some rust knocked off. He hasn't played all the way through most of training camp. And that is your primary backup without real game experience for a year.

Rogers was subbed for in their victory...

It's been 2 and 1/2 bad outings or since Thanksgiving, but I agree on not hitting the panic button.

Benching Dak would be the stupidest thing ever. People need to get a grip.

I agree. But wouldn't it be worth seeing what we have in romo in the regular season in case we have to make the switch in a big game?

Of course he would put the stop to it...as any reasonable Owner, GM, Media Hound and part time head coach would.

Im optimistic. I consider it promoting romo.

Don't be so sure about that, especially come playoff time...

Yes

"As Jerry has warned us, when he makes a statement, it's really just a statement for that day"...... lol that is a good one !

LOL

 

[Lutonio]

We'll see. He could easily change his mind, and an answer immediately after the game might not mean much.

At the very least , it was the right answer for now.

I agree they aren't benching Dak.

However, that for sure has nothing to do with how Romo is looking right now.
The coaches, players, sideline reporters, everyone...all are raving how great Tony is looking .

But no, they are not pulling Dak.

 

[visionary]

I'm a fan of Dak and he should start and play the next game

However every year is different and it is about winning the SB and the NFC is very weak this year

If Dak craps the bed best game AND if Romo is looking great in practices, I would start him after the TB game

 

[DandyDon52]

They could cook up a excuse to play romo next week, dak is sick, or pulled a muscle etc, and romo is going to just play the one game
Then they could see how tony does against a fired up and rolling tampa bay.
Right now how tony would play is all speculation, I want to see it for real.
Then they could decide who to go forward with.

Dak sounded like he had a cold last nite after the game.
