Dallas Cowboys choosing the hot Dak Prescott doomed their season
There were others who enjoyed saying, “We don’t need Tony Romo yet.” So I have to ask – Do you want to play him now that the season is over? You have let the entire season burn down because you refused to call the fire department. This season is a epic fail of tremendous proportions.
History will show that this moment was yooge (huge) because the goal of this team wasn’t to have an eleven game winning streak. The goal of this team wasn’t to be NFC East Divisional champs. The goal of this team definitely wasn’t to be one and done in the NFL playoffs. Put on some clothes and stop accepting these false accomplishments.
Myth #4,080 – “Prescott will be better next year.” The best reply came from my friend Scott Hansen who responded, “Do you think he will throw less interceptions next year?”
Look at the numbers in the chart below and remember that Prescott went 4 of 8 in limited action against the Philadelphia Eagles. Romo, the better quarterback, gets you a Superbowl this year but Cowboys Nation fell in love with a winning streak. In my Drake voice, I want to tell you – “They don’t have no awards for that – trophies. Trophies.”

Prescott is the future but Romo was the now. The dynasty could’ve been restarted this year by winning now and we possibly could have kept winning later. Maybe all of us “real” Dallas Cowboys fans that were smart enough to understand that Romo was the right quarterback to guide this team to a Superbowl victory should send NFL Playoff participation trophies to Jerry Jones. #ImSoPetty
