The NFL wasn’t prepared for the 'Dak Attack,’ but the Cowboys were

Agreed, but some posters are better at guessing than others.

Possibly, but you'd be hard-pressed to find any poster who has been right with all of their guesses. Most just play up the ones they get correct, and hope everyone forgets the ones they've gotten wrong.

To that end, I'll state my guess ... and it's that Romo will be reinserted as the starter this season and Dak will remain on the bench until he gets hurt again.

If he does get hurt again this season, then Romo will retire after the season.

That would be my guess as well. But only because Jerry wants it that way.

I didn't say it wasn't a safe guess.

I do think that's a fair argument.

There's really two good sides to this QB issue IMO.

The team wants to reinsert Romo because it believes he's the QB to win with now based on his experience and skill. If he's healthy, it's hard to argue against that based on what he has shown over the years and how he led this offense in 2014. No one can really say until we see him out there that he isn't the best QB for now.

Then, there's the fact that the team is riding high right now behind a rookie QB who isn't making many mistakes and has a 112 QB rating. How do you take that guy out of the lineup? How could you not leave him in until he starts playing like a rookie ... if that ever happens?

That's why I'm of the belief that you let Romo wait in the wings until the rookie in Prescott shows up. Quite frankly, Game 1 would have been one of those instances and the beginning of Game 2 would have been another one, so it isn't likely that everything is going to go smoothly for Prescott in every game.

Getting my weeks mixed up. Game 4 was the other game where Prescott could have been replaced, when Dallas fell behind San Fran early. Week 2, Week 3 and Week 5 were solid from the start.
