For anyone wondering what the future holds for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, your questions have apparently been answered by team CEO Stephen Jones.
"We've got to have a plan to ultimately extend Dak," Jones said from the scouting combine in Indianapolis.
"I've got all the faith in the world we can win this thing with Dak," Jones continued.
Why, you may ask?
"Because we know him. We know what he's about. His leadership skills are undeniable. Impeccable work ethic," Jones continued. "Other than he hadn't won some key playoff games, he's everything you want in a quarterback. From the day he walked in the door, he's won a lot of games. We just got to get over the hump."
With offensive coordinator Kellen Moore moving on to the Los Angeles Chargers, the Cowboys did bring in Brian Schottenheimer as the new OC. However, Jones confirmed that it will in fact be head coach Mike McCarthy ultimately in charge of play calling.
"Obviously he's the head coach of this football team, and he made a compelling argument that making him the playcaller was going to help us," Jones said. "I mean that's part of the coaching, be one click better. He feels good about it. He's had a lot of success as a playcaller. And he's observed for three years. I think he's been a super leader in that aspect in terms of having the respect for Kellen and the offensive group working with Dak, that that was the better way of doing it. I think he believes now, although they believe in a lot of things the same, there's that 15-20% that they don't. And I think that Mike just thinks that they'll do more with the way he wants to do it [and] that we'll be a better offensive football team."
