The new face of America’s Team is a biracial, tatted-up, whip-smart, unflappable 23-year-old, who in about the time it takes to open the roof at AT&T Stadium went from being a let’s-see-what-the-unheralded-rook-can-do emergency starter to The Man on the NFL’s hottest club. Prescott’s stunning rise (remember, dude was a fourth-round pick whom the Cowboys backed into) has been the talk of the league – and the conversation hasn’t been confined to his success on the field. To even the non-woke, it’s obvious that the Cowboys are in a new place. That means the rest of the NFL is, too.

For the record, Dak Prescott is quite possibly the Greatest Quarterback in NFL history. I say that, not because he went to my Alma Mater THE Mississippi State University. Nor am I saying it because he's the Quarterback of my favorite team the Dallas Cowboys (been a fan since I was a 7 year old kid watching Calvin Hill as a rookie), and they're on a record-setting 10 game win streak.
Dak's success has nothing to do with his race. It has everything to do with his mom raising him right, as well as going to The Mississippi State University, where he learned how to be the Greatest Quarterback of All Time. At The Mississippi State University, he also learned that the State isn't full of drooling, unibrowed, window-licking, Redman-gargling racists like you have at Ole Miss, that in 1963 The Mississippi State University slipped past the Ole Miss legislature and their palace guards to play a basketball game against an integrated team, that The Mississippi State University hired the first black Head Coach in the SEC, and that historically The Mississippi State University has been a haven against the Democrat Party Segregation that gripped the State for decades.
I have three daughters, and I'd love any of them to marry Dak. Problem is, if I were to take them to meet him, there would be squealing, hyperventilating, and fainting at his sight...and it'd be from me.
State sure does miss him. I wonder how many more Egg bowls Mullen will ghost ave to lose before they show him the door?
In the meantime, olemiss has families come up to Oxford and everybody has Thanksgiving together. It's not a surprise they're better prepared to play.
I'm guessing that Dan uses that free time to get on the line with is agent and peruse any possible Coaching vacancies. One possibility is Boston College. Mullen is from New Hampshire, and he'd probably like to get closer to home.

Someone slipped something very powerful and mind altering into your Thanksgiving eggnog.
Right state, wrong school. #BrettFavre. Look him up. He should be easy to find in the NFL career record book.
We can talk about Dak in seven years or so.
I also have to give a shout out to Tony Romo and say I feel sorry for him. He toiled all these years with weak teams around him and now that the team as a whole is good, his injuries destroyed any chance to lead them to that elusive Super Bowl. Retire, Tony. Why put your 30 something body through any more potentially dangerous injuries.
No mind-altering drugs. Probably still high from all those Liberal tears I've been drinking since November 9th.
At least Dak doesn’t seem to be a prima donna jackass... yet.
Just wish that we could celebrate the fact that the Cowboys are 10-1 because a bunch of players, of all colors, ethnicity and backgrounds are playing top notch football.
A lot can happen in 4 or 5 years. He’s a rookie, give him some time.
Not a Cowboys fan, but he seems like a good kid. Doesn’t seem poisoned like some players, and thinks before he opens his mouth.
Pump the brakes on the Greatest Quarterback in NFL history, though. He has a few years to go.
I lol'd.
We may get the 5th straight Super Bowl that features a black QB. They are very talented, but I suspect the NFL “helps” ensure that this to happen.
Romo remembered when he came into the League in 2003. None of the veterans helped him whatsoever, and he pretty much had to learn on his own. He promised to himself that he'd help out any of the new guys coming up.
He's doing just that with Dak. Instead of sulking and pouting, Romo has been helping him at practice, and giving him pointers in games.
The NFL is a 16 game grind. If Dak ever gets injured, it's nice to know that we have a healthy all-Pro Quarterback on the bench ready to pick up the slack.
Absolutely not a Cowgirl’s fan but this kid is really amazing! Sadly, he deserves better than a life in Jerry’s fiefdom!!
Roll Tide!
I thought it to be a little balance on your disguised advertisement for a particular school rather than the budding greatness of a man who carried the team the last few years and never once complained about it or his lot in life as he knew was within his character to make better. Yes, credit his Mom!.
As for the NFL, only the Patriots, Cowboys and to a lesser extent the Packers will be on out tubes because the ownership and management of each has publicly stated by inference and directly how the players would be dealt with in regard to any Kapernick shenanigans that takes away from the team effort.
The most direct was Jerry Jones. Robert Kraft coming out of the elevators at Trump Tower and Tom Brady and Coach Belichick being direct of who they would vote for, only because they were asked. They did not go onto a soap box but gave an honest answer when asked.
No, I won't. I refuse to be swayed by your words of reason.
Dak Prescott is to The Mississippi State University, what Archie Manning is to olemiss, Billy Cannon to LSU, Doug Flutie to Boston College, and O.J. Simpson to USC.
I have always felt like Tony Romo has gotten somewhat of a bad rap, and coupled with his unfortunate and frequent injury record, had made him expendable.
Sure, he has made bone-headed plays. Every quarterback has. But the bigger problem is that he hasn’t been reliable for some time, and that is a bigger problem than the occasional bone-headed plays.
Great coaches recognize that reliability is a form of greatness that can be just as important for a quarterback (maybe more so) as being able to complete an out pass under pressure to the opposite side of the field.
And that, folks, is why being a football fan can be so much fun!
But the fact is that most white folks who are Cowboys fans are delighted with Prescott's success and view him not as a black quarterback, but as a rookie quarterback.
Frankly, I suspect Prescott's success is more of a "That'll show 'em" to Jason Reid and his ilk -- blacks who didn't believe a black quarterback could (or would be allowed to) succeed.
Who's the racist now, Jason, ol' buddy, ol' pal?
