Tony Romo got injured in an August preseason game. Dak Prescott replaced him as the starting quarterback, and the Dallas Cowboys haven’t looked back since. You probably heard about all this somewhere along the way. And you probably heard it compared to another famous quarterback change: Drew Bledsoe and Tom Brady.
Drew Bledsoe feels for Tony Romo. The Cowboys QB situation has officially come full circle.

That actually happened TWICE to the NFL’s very own Wally Pipp. Bill Parcells replaced Bledsoe with Romo in October 2006.
So what does the guy who famously got replaced twice think about the second guy who replaced him getting replaced?
He gets it. He gets it in a way most of us probably can’t.
ESPN’s Ed Werder caught up with Bledsoe in the wake of Romo’s much-praised Tuesday afternoon torch passing.
Bledsoe’s been called upon to reflect on this situation before, and back in September — when the Cowboys were still insisting that Romo would be the starter as soon as he got healthy — he wondered if Romo’s time was up in Dallas and got philosophical about the whole thing.
“It happens to all of us. I don’t know if it’s the time for Tony, but it’s something that every quarterback has to confront.”
