Roger Staubach, a long-time Tony Romo backer, explains why Cowboys should stick with Dak Prescott

ARLINGTON - Even Hall of Famer Roger Staubach, who has long been among the most vocal supporters for Tony Romo, can understand why the Cowboys would choose to stick with rookie Dak Prescott as their starting quarterback.

Staubach said Prescott has been "exceptional" in leading the Cowboys to a 4-1 start while Romo recovers from a fractured back he suffered in the preseason against Seattle.

Staubach knows all about quarterback controversies. For a few seasons, he competed against Craig Morton for the starting job. At one point in the 1971 season, Staubach and Morton actually alternated plays in games.
