Last season, the Dallas Cowboys flipped from a 12-4 record the year before to a 4-12 record mainly due to injuries suffered by their starting quarterback Tony Romo. Two separate collarbone fractures forced the 35-year old Romo to miss a total of 12 games in 2015.
On the current depth chart sits quarterback Kellen Moore as Romo’s primary back-up, a four-year player that hadn’t taken a single snap in a regular season contest until late last year. Outside of Moore, there is only unproven Jameill Showers, an undrafted rookie out of UTEP who spent most of the season on the Cowboys practice squad.
