Dak Prescott Vs. Tony Romo, The Battle Under Center

Hi, I am making a post talking about the Cowboys QB battle. Tony Romo has been really good in past years but he is getting older and he keeps getting hurt. While being hurt the first 8 weeks of this season, youngster rookie QB Dak Prescott stepped in and has lead the Cowboys to 4-1. He is looking amazing and has thrown 0 interceptions through these first games. Today I am picking a winner because so many people have been debating over it and its time for me to answer this burning question. Here is battle:

Tony Romo:

Pros: Romo knows the offense. He has been the starter for years now and has lead the Cowboys to multiple playoff appearances. He has been productive for years and he turned Dez Bryant into a great receiver. He has thrown for 34,000+ yards over the course of his career in Dallas and 247 TD's. He a favorite QB and has been a top 5, elite QB for the longest time. He's completed a little over half of the throws he's completed in his career.

Cons: Romo is getting old. He is not a very mobile QB and he does throw a lot of interceptions. Romo gets hurt a lot too and this is the 3rd or 4th time he has gotten hurt badly. Last season he broke his collarbone, came back and then re-injured it after playing 1 game which lead to one of the Cowboys most disasterous seasons in franchise history having a 4-12 year. Romo will not be able to take the Cowboys into the playoffs many more times as the Cowboys want

Dak Prescott:

Pros: Dak has been really good. Most rookie QB's aren't productive in their first year but Prescott has looked very productive. He is 4-1 as a starter and he only needs one more win to already have a better record than the Cowboys season last year. He is a few pass attempts without an interception to set a NFL record. He is a super mobile QB who also can throw very well and he is learning the offense very well. He has thrown 0 interceptions over the first few games which is super hard for rookies to do. Prescott is also very young so he has a lot of time to play and improve under a young Cowboys team.

Cons: He is only a rookie so he can probably only play SO well. He will eventually throw interceptions and show some signs that he is a rookie. He sometimes doesn't make the best descions. Rookies QBs have never lead their team to a super bowl win so it is a super long shot that Prescott could win the Super Bowl this year.

WHO WINS: Its not actually that close, I feel like Dak Prescott will win and he should win. He has more pros and less cons than Romo. He is younger, doesn't have much injury risk, and has a lot of time to work on his mistakes. It makes sense for him to stay starting QB now that he has learned the offense so well. He deserves this win and will be the future of this franchise even if he doesn't start after Romo comes back cause Romo only has a year or 2 left.

Thanks for reading, I hope you liked this post.
