10 years ago today Romo suffered a back injury in the preseason, paving the way for Dak

That was Tony
even if it was a preseason Game he went all out
just the way he was

Classic Romo, could never draw a flag even on a late hit on a qb slide in preseason.

Tom Brady got five times the roughing the passer calls that Romo did
same thing has happened with Dak
Dallas QBs get fewer roughing calls then any other team

Ref culture. Been this way since the Ice Bowl.

Have no idea why he was running in preseason after back surgery.

Just dump it to the receiver in the flat

I think it was just a matter of time before Romo got injured, his body was starting to break down. Whether it was then or by mid-season I don't think he holds up. Such a strange injury though, I remember him coming out during the press conference saying he was fine and it was nice to know he could take a hit.

Romo had the uncanny ability to get hit and sacked in the weirdest positions.
One of the dumbest moves this team ever did was not give him back his starting job when he was 100% healthy and cleared to play.

You're all heart.......

You need a reliable capable back up Dak is in year 11 . I’ve posted before from where they draft yearly premium QB’s are gone round one I’m not at all opposed to using a 2nd or 3rd rounder on a QB .

Jerry hasn’t drafted a QB in the first round since Aikman, and that was Jimmy’s decision to make.

Also, the last one(Quincey) drafted in the 2nd round was 25 years ago

They went with the locker room. Including Witten.

Doesn’t even seem like Romo’s body was even gonna hold up for a playoff run.

I mean Romo was what? 13 years? Dak is 10? When were they suppose to draft someone lol.

 

[EPL0c0]

Dak was fighting for the #3 spot.

Thrown into the fire and 10 years later he’s still standing

A dark day in Cowboys history. Led to a decade with Rayne.

Guessing your not a fan of Steve Walsh.

When you’re usually drafting 15 and on down round one the Mendoza Caleb Williams types are gone . You might find a gem possibly round 2 though .

Dallas should draft a QB within the first three rounds every few years. Churn, churn and churn. They might find a potential future starter and/or trade for capital.

And was a reach at least 2 rounds early.

Supplemental draft, but you were being intentionally semantic.

Milton did everything asked in pre season he moved the team and didn’t settle for FG’s he found the end zone in 2026 he deserves the back up job .

Against non-NFL players in completely vanilla defenses.

He played well, but preseason doesn't translate to regular season whatsoever.

Remember Duece Vaughn? Clint Stoerner? Woody Dantzler? Adrian Hamilton? Reggie Collier?

Yes, I would keep him, but slow the roll.

Back up you need a back up Dak is in year 11 with injuries in the not too distant past . I said repeatedly if you have a prospect you like round 2 or 3 next season by all means bring him in .

Let’s see CJ Carr at Notre Dame in 2027 draft or possibly a Drew Mestemaker as he steps up in competition at Okla St this year for the next draft class.
