We’re going to watch the Dallas Cowboys play a game with someone other than Dak Prescott starting at quarterback Monday night. This will be the first time in a long time that this has been the case for Team USA
How long, really? I’ve said before that I often look at time through the prism of the NFL which tends to exacerbate what I feel on my mind Consider the last NFL season without Dak Prescott saw the Peyton Denver Broncos Manning winning the Super Bowl That was five years ago as you know Five years before that so the same amount of time Mike McCarthy’s Green Bay Packers won the Super Bowl Manning doesn’t feel much closer to our memory banks now than McCarthy did then? Maybe I’m just weird
It’s Kellen Moore, of all people, who is the answer to our trivia question today – the last non-Dak Prescott quarterback to start for the Cowboys January 3, 2016 was a long time ago. a long time, which means that something that has become quite normalized for Cowboys fans is now shaking up
While we don’t always know a full biography of other members of the BTB community, there is an underlying common thread between all of us in that we support the Dallas Cowboys
A lot of us feel different about all kinds of things and Dak Prescott is certainly one of them There are those who feel elite, those who don’t and a lot in between It matters
Whatever you think of Dak, you can probably agree that watching this team play without him is going to feel rather strange and different to you. Consider that there are Cowboys fans that have gone through all of high school or college, times in life where we are all very impressionable, and that one constant in all of this has been Dak There is something surprising. – in the context of football of course – to this change
For my part, I happened to be a junior in college during the 2010 Dallas Cowboys season As you know, the team lost their starting quarterback in a home game against the New York Giants with a No. 88 wide first-round receiver on the sidelines, while trying to grab his second win of the season It was Tony Romo then as it is Dak Prescott now
It was a different time for the Cowboys as they were going to fire their head coach and reach a place where they are certainly not on track here and now. But in the interest of being honest, it was hard to find the same energy week after week to rally behind Brooks Bollinger as an example. It’s good
If we were to sit here and rank our Dallas Cowboys priorities, there is no doubt that the winning team would be the number one goal over anything else. The team is bigger than any player
As true as that is, it’s also true that Dak Prescott has become a bigger part of the Dallas Cowboys during her time with the team than most players tend to. Obviously, he’s the quarterback, the captain, the leader, etc., the similarities of the situation between him and Tony Romo are frightening enough to frustrate us all with the fact that we have had to watch this movie twice in our lives let alone in a single decade of measurement Andy Dalton is not Brooks Bollinger, but it’s not the person who’s the jersey you bought, whose name you’ve been arguing for for so long, it’s a stranger entering your Cowboys fandom’s house and that’s totally normal to feel weird about it
Being a football fan is obviously a frustrating experience from time to time (it feels more often than that for us) but there are no rules for going through it You don’t have to be totally ready to feel the same levels of excitement that you normally would at a game of Cowboys, because we are not in what we know to be normal for so long Maybe you are ready Maybe you are not Everything is fine and everything makes sense Football is weird
At some point in the future, Dak Prescott will likely come back behind the center of the USA team, but there’s a lot of football to be played by then.We’ll go through it all as we always have with the most important fundamental block under all, our unparalleled love for this team
How you choose to proceed is up to you We are all here for each other
