Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he would welcome a quarterback dilemma in Dallas between Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush.
“... Of course we want Dak to be here next week. That’s the thing, you do. But Dak and I want Rush to lead the team to victory here, and get another win and get another win. That's the only way to look at it.
As Jones mentioned, Prescott had a long stretch of games to prove himself worthy of being the starter during the Cowboys’ last quarterback controversy. Back in 2016, a then-rookie Prescott stepped in for an injured Tony Romo, who went down with a serious back injury in the preseason. Dallas started off that season 8-1 as Prescott claimed the full-time starting job from Romo.
“Well, it was impossible, ostensibly, that Prescott could play that well and keep Romo out of the [2016 divisional round playoff game] when every other team in the tournament had a seasoned veteran, excellent quarterback.”While Dallas’ Prescott-led offense struggled in a season-opening loss to Tampa Bay, the two-time Pro Bowler boasts a career record of 53-33 and is in the second year of a four-year, $160 million deal.
