Great players, coaches, and front offices are defined by how they handle things that don’t go their way or when the unexpected happens. They take advantage of a bad break turned good.
Dak Prescott wasn’t supposed to see the field his rookie season. He was behind Tony Romo, Kellen Moore, and Jameill Showers (???) on the depth chart. But Moore was injured and the coaching staff saw something in Prescott that made them favor him over Showers. And then Romo went down in the preseason with a vertebral compression fracture, an injury that would keep him out 8-10 weeks.
