I think Romo is going to retire - Dallas Cowboys Forum

gimmesix · 11-23-2012

I'm not sure it will happen after this season, but I believe Romo will at the most play out his contract and call it quits.

That's my prediction based on him tabling contract talks ... and no longer looking like he's enjoying the game.

I don't think Romo is a player who needs the game, like some do. He can walk away content with spending time with his wife and child and working on his golf game. Especially considering the offensive line play that's getting him beat up and the way fans and media treat him.

if he even stays healthy that long.

He looks demoralized by having to carry these clowns on his back.

He's very blessed in his personal life. Too bad it just didnt work out the same way professionally.

Well, he's definitely been blessed by his profession in some ways, but luck certainly hasn't shined on him much in his time as Cowboys quarterback.

He's blessed personally, and professionally. I don't think he retires when he's still capable of potentially winning a championship, but I wouldn't blame him if he did. I wouldn't want to play in Dallas under these circumstances. Our fans are just awful, and the local media is worse.

Whether or not that comes to fruition, I feel like the Cowboys REALLY need to start thinking about the next quarterback SOON. It would suck to be stuck in another period we all experienced after Aikman left, well maybe not Cowboys&Lakers Fan.

I hope they take a QB high in the draft incase Romo doesnt want to play here!

This. He's not going to retire. He's probably just looking forward to his new team.

Why are more people not talking about the much higher chance of WARE retiring. The guy is in the same family situation as Tony but he has been completely plagued with neck issues.

I'd be more surprised by that one ... although you never can tell what's going to happen.

I see Ware as one of those type of players who won't leave the game before his skills erode. I don't see Romo that way, but could easily be wrong about him.

Agree 100%. It is extremely rare for a QB to continue to play after having children.

I'm sure that's tongue-in-cheek ... and it's not the reason I believe it's going to happen.

I do believe, if it happens, that he will see what he can accomplish playing golf.

Well, I think plenty still play, but rarely to the level of before children. Simply because it's a life changing event more important than football and/or your job.
