FRISCO, Texas -- A rookie who has surprised everybody, if not himself, putting up numbers rarely seen -- if ever -- by a Dallas Cowboys first-year player.
The team has lost just one game he has started.
There are even rumblings that the team should stick with him once the multi-Pro Bowl starter he replaced is healthy.
This was the situation in 2016, when the Cowboys ultimately stuck with Dak Prescott over Tony Romo. Prescott got the Cowboys off to an 11-1 start as Romo, the franchise leader in passing yards and touchdown passes, recovered from a compression fracture in his back.
