NFL world urges Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to go all out on Jimmy Garoppolo after Dak Prescott injury Comment Share NFC Championship - San Francisco 49ers v Los Angeles Rams There's something strange in the Dallas Cowboys' neighborhood, and NFL Twitter knows exactly who franchise owner Jerry Jones can call - Jimmy Garoppolo. In their Week 1 opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Cowboys' injury woes went from bad to (much) worse. Star quarterback Dak Prescott was forced off the field midway through the fourth quarter on Sunday. Todd Archer@toddarcherDak Prescott is expected to have surgery Monday on a right thumb injury and miss 6-8 weeks, according to multiple sources. He will meet with the team’s hand specialist on Monday, but sources said he will have a pin and plate inserted to stabilize the joint.983286Dak Prescott is expected to have surgery Monday on a right thumb injury and miss 6-8 weeks, according to multiple sources. He will meet with the team’s hand specialist on Monday, but sources said he will have a pin and plate inserted to stabilize the joint. Prescott injured his right hand when he came into contact with Buccaneers linebacker Shaquil Barrett while throwing a pass. Jerry Jones said that the star quarterback will miss the next couple of weeks. As things stand, the Cowboys will have to rely on Cooper Rush in Prescott's absence. Prescott's untimely injury, however, has seemingly given fresh life to San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. While Cooper Rush finished Sunday's game 7-of-13 for 64 yards, Twitter has been clamoring for Dallas to trade for Garoppolo. The consensus is that they need to salvage a season that has already been dealt some heavy blows as early as Week 1. Here's what the NFL world had to say on social media:.

Ever since head coach Kyle Shanahan proclaimed Trey Lance as QB1, speculation has been rife. Garoppolo was strongly linked with the Cleveland Browns as a stand-in for Deshaun Watson, who will miss 11 games this season. In an interesting turn of events, the 49ers signed Garoppolo to a one-year deal worth up to $16 million to backup Lance for the season. Here's what Garoppolo had to say to reporters oon the matter: "Seeing the other opportunities that were out there and you weigh in the pros and cons of everything. Trust me, there was a lot of back and forth going on just with other teams and what I wanted my future to look like. And so, this is what I wanted." That, however, hasn't stopped Cowboys fans from advocating a move for the quarterback. 95.7 The Game@957thegameJimmy G had other suitors but chose the 49ers:"Seeing the other opportunities that were out there, you weigh pros and cons of everything.

Trust me, there was a lot of back-and-forth going on with other teams and what I wanted my future to look like. This is what I wanted." The Dallas Cowboys were the only team in the league that failed to score a touchdown over the weekend. They suffered a 19-3 loss to the Buccaneers. In getting just three points on the board, the Cowboys were held to their lowest Week 1 score in 33 years. With injuries to Connor McGovern and Jayron Kearse to add to an ever-growing list, things are looking bleak in Dallas. They are now preparing for a Week 2 matchup against Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. Over in San Francisco, the focus on Trey Lance was magnified after a Week 1 loss to the Chicago Bears. There are already calls for Garoppolo to replace Lance. Considering this was Lance's third career start in rough terrain, Jimmy Garoppolo will have to warm the bench for a while before he's called upon. If Dallas comes calling, however, that's a whole different ball game. If you use any of the above quotes, please credit 49ers.com and H/T Sportskeeda.
