Jerry Jones has a problem that most NFL owners would love to have.
You already know the story. With Tony Romo sidelined by a preseason back injury, Dak Prescott took the reigns of the offense in Dallas, and he hasn't looked back.
After a narrow Week 1 loss, the Cowboys have ripped off seven straight wins. Prescott has demonstrated tremendous skill, poise, and the ability to improvise. He has one the best offensive lines in the NFL at his disposal, as well as one of the better running backs in Ezekiel Elliott. But, that shouldn't diminish everything he's accomplished so far.
As we head into Week 10, Romo's return is imminent. His return to the field was previously assumed as well, but now the situation is up in the air. It's tough to take out Prescott when the team is rolling like this.
The Cowboys' owner has wavered with his comments on the matter. Early on, he was adamant that Romo would start when healthy. As the wins piled up, he began shifting to “Team Prescott.”
Now, Jones has accepted that he's unlikely to ever know for sure what the right call is. From DallasCowboys.com's David Helman:
Quote of the year from Jerry, re: Dak/Romo: “We probably are never going to have this thing totally sorted out.” Will play it by year.
If Jerry can't decide, then who can?
