"You know what happened to Bledsoe and Brady", Jones continued. Rookie Dak Prescott, a fourth-round pick who has had a strong preseason, is the presumed starter, although Garrett wouldn't acknowledge that either.

Now that may sound like an overly bullish prognostication for a team that relies so heavily on its veteran signal-caller, but the truth is the Cowboys are built on the foundation of a brutish offensive line. But what if Prescott plays well enough where Jason Garrett is faced with a hard decision 6-10 weeks from now when it comes to possibly playing Romo? After the game, the quarterback said he would be ready for Week 1.

The Dallas Cowboys know how quickly life can change under center in the NFL. The starting QB will be missed in the passing game, sure, but it may not be too outlandish to say that the Tony Romo injury will actually help the Cowboys find their identity early in the season.

The Cowboys prioritized drafting a quarterback after last season unraveled when Romo twice broke his collarbone, but attempts to trade up and draft Memphis star Paxton Lynch failed. Prescott has been wildly impressive so far in the preseason, completing 39-of-50 passes for 454 yards, five touchdown passes and no interceptions, for a rating of 137.8. "We're going to have a good bond and we've got to do it together".

Sanchez inspires Arsenal to 3-1 win at Watford
Arsene Wenger's charges were awarded a penalty after eight minutes when Nordin Amrabat fouled Alexis Sanchez in the box. Arsenal won 3-0 at Watford last season but this match was goalless at the break.

"I like how poised he is", Elliott said.

But the fact that Jones even brings up the Bledsoe/Brady dynamic when referring to Prescott and Romo tells you all you need to know about both quarterbacks. If Romo is unable to get back as soon as anticipated, at least the Cowboys should have a blueprint established for how to survive the season and make the best out of a bad situation.

Given the run-heavy nature of the Cowboys' offense, it isn't as if Prescott is going to be asked to go out there and win them games on his arm alone either.
