I will say this, Tony definitely needs to stay healthy, if he gets hurt for a significant amount of time and Dak performs in a fashion similar to the past two weeks, Tony will be on the wrong side of the emergence of a future star.

There are a lot of great quarterbacks that evetually get "Bledsoed".

Well any converts after the seattle game??:huh:

Prescott finished 17-for-23 passing for 116 yards and the touchdown. And at least two of the incomplete passes were drops by Terrance Williams and Devin Street.

That was no vanilla defense last nite, Seattle is playing to win, they talked about it last week, they want to win
pre season games and get the starters plenty of playing time to get ready for the season.

I was stunned when tony got hurt, it looked bad , and they say it was no big deal ?
He was in intense pain when he was on turf.
He needs to play smarter and throw the ball away and not try to run and or slide.
He doesnt seem like he is very good at sliding.

Also felt like it should have been a penalty since he was clearly sliding?
But penalty's wont help his back, so best thing is get rid of the ball !

I thought Dak did great, against one of the best defenses, and showed he is ready to start in NFL.
I think if he could say truthfully, he wants the starting job, not to hold a clipboard for 2 years.

After this game , Tony is tough, but I dont know if he can do 16 games + playoffs, but maybe he can.
I still say let dak have about 6 of the games to lighten the load. I think he could go 4-2 maybe better.

I will say this DD,,
My comfort level for QB depth is at least measurable now. I no longer totally hang the season on Romos health.

Well I think we have a good bkup in Dak, and showers has improved, I dont think they need a vet, and was surprised to hear campo
say they are still looking !

I dont think any vet they can get would be better than Dak.
And if they do that and put showers on ps some team might take him.
Showers wants to play bad, so he might have a better shot with another team.
Dallas should let him have most or all of the last PS game.

Honestly, the closest situation I can think of right now is Montana and Young. It feels so similar. Obviously Tony doesn't have the rings but he does have the big name. Dak is the young scrambler and Romo is the Wiley veteran

But Steve Young was playing professional football for about 8 years before he started double digit games for the Niners. He was in the USFL for 2 years, then Tampa for 2 years, then the Niners where he started 3, 3, 3 and 1 game. Young had 19 starts for the Bucs before he even got to the Niners, and he had double digit starts in the USFL before that. So Young had a good deal of experience, whereas Dak has never taken a regular season snap.

Stylistically it's similar, but the experience difference is astronomical.
