Having assumed the role after Tony Romo’s injury during the preseason, Dak Prescott is expected to open the NFL regular season as the first rookie quarterback to start for the Dallas Cowboys since 2004. Is he any good?
↗ STRONGSIDE
- Not currently injured for next 6-10 weeks
- Arm strength allows him to sneak ball into tight spaces between two receivers
- Possesses both physical and mental toughness needed to play behind Cowboys offensive line
- Exposed to pro-style legal system during college
- Really embracing term “serviceable”
- Should have at least one or two more chances to fill in for an injured Tony Romo after this opportunity
