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


↙ WEAKSIDE

Less experienced than teammates, having only been arrested once

Still needs to work on establishing tension with Dez Bryant

Previously ran firejasongarrett.com

Struggling to master all of team’s intricate drug terminology

Not old enough to remember Cowboys’ storied legacy that he’s under pressure to live up to

Earned ringing endorsement from owner Jerry Jones
