The preseason rise of Cowboys rookie Dak Prescott is the latest proof that starting quarerback Tony Romo gets no respect, according to Colin Cowherd.

On Fox Sports' The Herd Cowherd said that in the wake of Prescott's national hype-fest, "Tony Romo can't buy respect."

"In the pantheon of NFL quarterbacks, there's never been one that's been less respected than Tony Romo," Cowherd said.

The disrespect for Tony Romo this preseason is simply jaw dropping #dakattackhttps://t.co/oABtSwDWNE — Colin Cowherd (@ColinCowherd) August 24, 2016

The host pointed out when Romo was out with injuries last season, the Cowboys were unable to pick up first downs.

"Tony Romo leaves last year with an injury, you still have the best offensive line in football, you still have Dez Bryant [in the second half of the season], you still have your coaching staff and you're awful," Cowherd said. "Nothing changed except Tony Romo. And you're unable to pick up first downs and now you come back and Vegas says you're good enough to win the division with Tony Romo."

"Could somebody put their arms around Tony Romo and just acknowledge he's really, really good?"

Cowherd also tore into the Prescott hype, saying he hasn't done enough to earn it yet.

"Dak Prescott has two preseason games against vanilla schemes when he makes no real reads, faces one blitz in two games and everybody loves Dak Prescott. Tony Romo's gotta be sitting there thinking, "What do I gotta do? I've got the best fourth-quarter quarterback rating in the NFL in the last 10 years and I can't get a break,' " Cowherd said. "Dak Prescott has two nice quarters of preseason football against vanilla defenses and America is now all in on Dak Prescott, who's made no reads at all. He's had straight drops and throws. That's all he's had to do. And now Dak Prescott is the next star of the Dallas Cowboys."

"Dak Prescott is getting more love in two weeks, 15 completions, than Tony Romo has received in years," he said.
