Quarterback Dustin Vaughan showed the Dallas Cowboys he needs more time to warp up the quarterback depth chart.
The 24-year-old had a golden opportunity to make a case for himself in a losing NFL preseason match against the San Francisco 49ers.
In fact, a real life scenario was set up for him: The quarterback in front goes down with an injury — in this case Brandon Weeden with a blow to the head — and in goes Vaughn to reassure the Dallas faithful that a bridge between quarterback Tony Romo and the future was in the works.
