Former Dallas Cowboys head coach and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Bill Parcells recently joined The Herd with Colin Cowherd to talk about the Dallas Cowboys and the NFL playoffs. Here are some highlights:
What do you make of Dak Prescott? How much is Zeke, how much is the O-line, how much is Dak?
Parcells: I think he's tremendous. He's got tremendous poise. He's highly competitive ... There's just something about certain players, and quarterbacks in particular, that they just win games.
And he doesn't have the biggest arm I've ever seen, but he's an athletic guy. He can extend plays, he's an accurate passer, and he's a tremendous short passer and a good intermediate passer. I think he's terrific, I really do. I think they've got something there with what they've got, and the talent that they've got, they've got something that should serve them well for quite a while.
Would you put any thought into trying to keep Tony Romo as a backup?
Parcells: I think it'll be a consideration, for sure. Now, I think that really comes down to Tony, himself ... If I were Jerry Jones, I would at least make an effort to keep Tony.
And you know Dallas is Tony's home. He made his name there. He'll probably reside there. But the only thing about some of these guys is they want to play, and he's not going to play there in Dallas now unless something happens. So, that would be the overriding factor is just what Tony wants to do.
On if Romo thinks he still has years left to be a starter...
Parcells: I'm sure I'll speak to him in a short period of time, see what he's thinking about. You know, it's hard to eliminate that drive and that competitiveness. And football players, when it's football season they want to play football, and I'm pretty sure that's what he would like to do.
Now, sometimes that's not always in your own best self interests. You know, at 36-37, been hurt quite a bit, sometimes that's a tough thing to do.
