If you had it to do all over with Romo and Dak in 2016

[fredp22]

6 of one, half dozen of the other.
only do over I would do is Belichick or Reid over Garrett

 

[TheCritic]

Romo would not have sniffed a Super Bowl that year. Besides, I don't trust any man who is too ashamed to use his real name.

There is definitely something wrong with you!

 

[Ken]

What is wrong with you?

Are you dense?

Click on all the links I have posted in this thread

So I'm dense bc you are posting quotes that fly in the face of facts?

Coo Coo for Coco Puffs much?

Here you go for umpteenth time

Perhaps the article doesn't prove anything that you think it does?

You act like I wasn't a huge Romo fan and knew all of this already. lol

 

[Captain-Crash]

lmao, these dak guys would have started dak over Roger. smh.
"well Roger didn't have the stats to be the starter" smh

 

[tyke1doe]

I was solidly behind Dak remaining as the starter. THEN.

In hindsight, how can we/you/I NOT wonder what Romo would have done had he been reinserted as the starter.
Personally, I think we would have beaten Green Bay. I don't know if we would have beaten Atlanta, though we would have played them at home.
Even with Zeke, I think we would have been more dependent on Romo than the running game.
Maybe, we would have gone to the Super Bowl, but we weren't going to beat the New England Patriots. Belichick vs. Garrett?

Nevertheless, we'll never know.

Let me help you...he would have been hurt within 3 games. How do i know that?

Bc that is what had happened the prior 3 times he tried to play football.

Proves there was a market & Romo was healthy. . . and because Jerry was jerking his chain and threatened to hold him hostage and stuck in Limbo until camp opened. . . .Instead of being a pawn to Jerry and His Whims. . . Romo took control of the situation and went into the broadcast booth on His own terms

If you can't prove it, you can't know it.

Yes, it could have been likely. It also is likely he could have remained healthy.
Be that as it may, my speculation is based on if he had played when he was ready and if he had remained healthy.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

One drive? I’m talking about the entire season of 2014 where he was only one season removed from playing. He didn’t lose his skills, he got injured.

Tony’s injuries were freak ones in 2015 (the second time happened in the same place because he was rushed back to play) and 2016 and they weren’t even related. And he was medically cleared to play so it is just an injury excuse to say Romo’s body was broken down. Every such injury happens because the body is hit in a certain way in which its skeletal structure can’t handle the damage. Of course some bones and bodies are stronger than others, but if you hit someone hard enough with the right angle you’re going to do damage to anyone.

And he was hurt in 2016 lol…you can’t omit his injuries as if it’s false. It’s factual. He was more healthy in 2014 than he was in 15 or 16. His body was cooked by then with those back injuries….

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

This is why nobody but a handful of 20%ers takes you seriously.

Romo got hurt in the second game of the season. Any reasonable person would discount the later games, when he came back to soon and was obviously still suffering from the injury.

You know... exactly like you do for Dak to rationalize his failure over the second half of last season.

lol

So you give Romo the injury excuse for his poor play but Dak’s calf injury didn’t effect his play last year? You’re a joke and not a funny one….

If he could’ve remained healthy he wouldn’t have retired….how many broken clavicles and back injuries did y’all want him to suffer? Cowboys protected himself from himself. Dak was the best thing to happen to Romo’s career. Forced him to retire when it was right.

Yet another reason why not many take you seriously.

You literally just essentially said the 'I'm rubber your glue....' thing, popular on elementary school playgrounds across the world. Either missing, or choosing to ignore the point.

You are a very funny joke.

You and your boyfriend keep making the claim “that’s why no one takes you serious….” Who are y’all? Nobody’s lol. I find it hilarious y’all care enough about what others think about you. I think you’re an idiot but why would you care?

No matter which side Cowboys fans choose, this topic \debate will continue to pop up occasionally in the future - taking its place alongside the Johhson versus Jones narrative...which is still alive & kicking three decades later.
Part of the franchise history.

To care what you think, I would have to take you seriously.

I just enjoy trolling the trolls and toying with loudmouths who talk out of both sides of their mouths. I have some extra time today because it's a rainy muddy mess outside.

I do have to go out and run the dogs though, can't put that off any longer. It will be nice to have something more capable of reasonable discussion than you are, though.

I will end with this.... knowing your propensity to twist things..... I have no animosity toward you, my Cowboys Bro...

You're a good kid. You'll figure it out someday.

Fist bump AND a bro hug.

 

[mattjames2010]

I felt Dak would have had enough experience by the time Romo was healthy that benching him going into playoffs wouldn't have hurt. You should be in win now, and rookies don't lead you to a Super Bowl and win it. It's a whole different ball game when the post-season begins.

Stephania Bell is a licensed physical therapist, board-certified orthopedic clinical specialist emeritus and certified strength and conditioning specialist. The following was her (46-second) analysis of Tony Romo's 2016 injury for ESPN:



Below is a replay of the tackle creating the injury:

1st freeze frame: Romo's lumbar region was clearly bent forward.
2nd freeze frame: The downward tackle's force was significant enough that Romo's entire body BOUNCED off the field's surface.

Everyone has an opinion Romo's injury history. Informed or not, that is irrelevant. What is completely relevant is defining or inferring this particular injury as a typical football related tackle that would have only injured "someone like Romo."

Muscular structure and GRIT (lol) does not protect the human spine from this type of injury. "Certain" football players are not mutants or aliens from a different planet. Any athlete experiencing this exact same tackle would have suffered the same injury.

Saying Romo got hurt on a normal tackle is either being uniformed about basic physics and human anatomy OR repeating a non-truth. Period.

 

[morat1959]

Going back to 2016.

Even though Romo probably would have crumbled on the next sack he took, a part of me will always wonder what would have happened if Romo had been given a chance to gain his starting job back during the second half of the 2016 season.

Not saying that there was a chance in hell of that ever happening, but I do believe that if Romo had gotten the opportunity and if he could somehow have stayed healthy for the rest of the season, I do somehow believe he would have taken the Cowboys to the SB.

Something about that one series drive he had against the Eagles that made it look too easy. He looked like he was playing golf.

Knowing now that Dak was going to become just an above average QB, any regrets for not giving Romo one last shot?

Romo would have done nothing. He had never done anything before. Dak’s not doing anything. Romo was better than Dak but that’s not saying much.

So diamonddelts is your real name? And oh, I don't trust you to answer that question honestly.

lol-jk
Just having a little bit of fun.
