Romo has broken bone in back; out 6-10 weeks ** Mega Thread **

[PA Cowboy Fan]

If Dak's got you there, why make the change at all? For another 3 plays of Romo before he gets hurt again?

That is true but I think Tony will still be back when he's ready. It's just what the organization will do.

 

[Nightman]

I guess we still need a QB2

 

[BoysfanfromCanada]

I just hated the fact that he ran on that play at all. If nothing open throw it away. Everytime he runs something bad happens

 

[TRUTH87]

Dak will likely do okay and I don't see romo getting his job back

dak will be decent i suspect this season. its gona be hard dealing w his rookie mistakes etc. yhe growing pains...

ugh this season already sucks

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Well we will see if Dak is the truth or not. No speculating, no vanilla defense and no more excuses if he does play well.

I wish Romo the best and much thanks for all he gave Dallas

 

[CWR]

For what its worth I had a compression fracture in my back and went back to work on a fire engine 1 month later.

What type of break and where exactly would be my next question. My job may be physical at times but obviously Im not getting drilled by 300lb d lineman.

Sadly I think he needs to walk away from the game. Knowing Tony he will try to wrap it up and be ready week 1. Part of me would rather not have Romo back mid season. If Dak is doing well, keep him going because hes the future. If hes struggling and we are out of it then theres no point anyhow.

Sorry i didnt see 6-10 week time line. This sux.

 

[BrassCowboy]

I am sick...is Showers the new backup QB?

wow..... yeah, we all were thinking "we have our great backup now in Dak" to "we need a backup again"

 

[Blake]

Dak is not leading us to a super bowl guys. Not during his rookie season with a shaky defense. It's wishful thinking.

 

[RonSpringsdaman20]

Somebody could be dead and Garrett would still say he was day to day.

lol

 

[pacy]

Watch him get suspended a week before the season starts.

Whut? You know smth we don't ???

 

[lwehlers]

Romo is Danny White to me, he's just never going to win the Super Bowl, I'm ready to move on.

I also see romo in this way. I have a feeling he will play by the third game and then will get hurt again. he needs to quit and enjoy his family and get a tv job.

 

[cowboyblue22]

looks like 2014 was his year

 

[Floatyworm]

I knew it the second it happened, such an awkward hit, good thing our staff held him out from returning in the game.

@ first I thought he might have torn up a knee...that was such an awful slide. He looked like a player that was washed up during that pathetic slide.

Regardless...we are back into looking for a QB.

Quarterbacks
Jimmy Clausen (29)
Matt Flynn (31)
Josh Freeman (28)
Tarvaris Jackson (33)
Ryan Lindley (27)
Johnny Manziel (24)
Michael Vick (36)
Charlie Whitehurst (34)
T.J. Yates (29)

If it's a 6 week recovery he'll be back after 4 weeks of the season, if it's 8 he'll be back after 6. Sucks, but we can still win the division. We just have to win some damned games with a backup for a change. Prescott is going to be the man opening night from the looks of it.

you have got to be kidding? you do realize Tony's age and previous injury history right?

 

[Super_Kazuya]

Christ, Tony is as unlucky as you can be. Just on the back alone, he's had a cyst, a herniated disc, broken transverse and now this... and none of them are related to each other at all.

 

[Stash]

That is true but I think Tony will still be back when he's ready. It's just what the organization will do.

Then they're morons. Not that you need much convincing after listening to the "4-5 years" bull****.

How's that looking now, fellas?

 

[Direwolf63]

He won't miss anytime IMO... He tried to get back in the game the other night.


Season is Half a month away.

Maybe. But so what? Hes so fragile now that any play could be his last.

I have zero confidence he can last half a game, let alone 16 full games.

Find another backup QB from the waiver wire, and roll with Dak. Draft another QB next year.

I think he'll try to get back as fast as he can just like last year. And then he got knocked out again 2 weeks later.

 

[Jason 82 Witten]

Not willing to pull the trigger on Paxton Lynch might be Jerry's biggest mistake as GM.

So....Romo goes on IR...designated to return?

I know it's just the preseason but Dak has outplayed Lynch

 

[DOUBLE WING]

Onus is all on the coaching staff now.

We have the running game and offensive line to still move the ball quite well, regardless of who is at QB. No more Romo to bail Garrett/Linehan out now. The coaching staff needs to sack up and really call a game that puts Prescott in the best position to succeed and make the least mistakes.
