It must be hard to be Tony Romo right now. The Cowboys quarterback has had to sit through the first six weeks of the season with a back injury watching rookie sensation Dak Prescott take over his job and the hearts of the Cowboys faithful.

Fans, commentators and former Cowboy greats have taken Prescott's side in the debate over which quarterback should start when Romo is healthy. Some are even speculating whether now is the time for Romo to retire.

So what goes through someone's head when they are in a situation like Romo right now? Former quarterback and current NFL Network analyst Kurt Warner went on The Rich Eisen Show on DirecTV's Audience Network to talk about exactly that.

"Well what is going through his mind, having been there before, is, 'Have all these people forgot what I've done for this organization and how I've played for the last however many years?'" Warner told Eisen. "That's the frustration and we're all gonna hide it and say, 'We're gonna do what's best for the team.' Sure, and I think Tony will because he's a great guy.

"But in his mind he's saying, 'Are you kidding me? I can go out there and play this game at a higher level. I can go and do all the stuff that Dak can do.' Again, that's not a knock on Dak because he's playing great. It's just that's the mindset of a competitor. That's the mindset of a guy that has played as well in this league in the regular season over the last 10 years as just about anybody."
