Dak Prescott and Jerry Jones
Dak Prescott has been dealing with his thumb injury ever since the Dallas Cowboys suffered their first loss of the 2022-23 season against Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While many ruled them out of playoff contention if things were to go haywire, backup QB – Cooper Rush emerged as the knight in shining armor for the team.
Having led the Dallas Cowboys to four consecutive wins in Dak Prescott’s absence, many firmly believe that the form of Rush should not be made to stop. Moreover, he should be the starting Quarterback for Cowboys, despite Prescott making his way back into the roster after his thumb surgery.
However, Hall of Famer turned analyst Shannon Sharpe presented his bold take Dak Prescott’s injury and even emphasized that how the most important decision remains to be in owner ‘Dr. Jerry Jones’’ hand.
Shannon Sharpe stated on the latest episode of Unidsputed, “I believe Dak Prescott is healthy enough to grip the football, to spin the football, to go through his normal routine and play like he normally would play. I do believe Dak Prescott should be the starting quarterback. Whether or not Dr. Jerry Jones has seen enough, because you know Jerry is the only ‘doctor’ that matters.
“I understand he can go to all these specialists and he can grip the ball like it’s normal. Our Tom Rinaldi said that he shook his hand. He’s like, ‘Oh, how you like that grip?’ Yep, I get all that, but only one man needs to matter, and he’s the guy that talks every single day on his radio show or his television show.”
While Rush has done an impeccable job, one needs to understand who the Cowboys have been relying upon all these years. The more important question remains – will Dak Prescott’s return to full health be valid scenario even when Cooper Rush extends the winning stretch for the team? Will be an interesting story to keep an eye on.
