Romo to speak to the media today at 4:15 CDT

[zack]

The heck are you talking about? That was essentially Tony handing the keys to Dak and being in his corner to help him.

There is just a lot of stupid Cowboys fans out there.

 

[SDCowboy]

Yup. I think that's part of why it was so hard for him. This is it. Unless Dak completely implodes or gets hurt, Romo will never be on the field again for meaningful action with this team.

Agreed. While I obviously am in favor of the Dak era being now, I hope Tony goes to Denver where he can win a SB.

Can't believe that some are bashing Romo, how many other QB's would be grateful enough to hand over the starting job? Other QB's would get their ego and pride get in the way.

 

[TheCoolFan]

Cardinals make the most sense for Romo. Everything they accomplished with Palmer, Romo could do easily...and much more. Good defense, good RB, and are guaranteed to play 10 games a season at the minimum indoors (in Glendale) or in good weather (LA/SF).

Yep. Which is why this is sad for him and many of us. Bittersweet, since we have the best record in the league. Also sad since there are so many haters who needed to be shut up and now won't.

 

[The Natural]

Romosexuals' last stand in here right now

 

[DFWJC]

If romo goes to the Broncos or jets next year. They're going to superbowl......and that could be against us

What a show that'd be. Epic drama.
Kind of doubt the Jets would get there though.
There are rumors Palmer may be done. The Cards would make sense.

Sorry though. I'm a Cowboy fan first.

 

[dallasfan4lizife]

You just put the nail in the coffin for this year's run. The only Super Bowl chance you have is Tony Romo.

Now, this is a stepping stone year until Dak's ready to win it all. He can't outplay this awful defense like Romo can.

You think he can even stay healthy enough to get us to a super bowl? Common sense says, No.

Guy can't take a hit like he use to. That's expected with age. Get over it.

 

[lwehlers]

tony romo is a true class act and great player.

 

[waldoputty]

So does anyone else think this speech also singled the end of him in Dallas after this season? At least as a player?

Dont rule out Romo from coming in in the playoffs if there is a disaster, or if Dak gets hurt (knock on wood)

 

[Trouty]

If you haven't heard his beautiful press conference. It's about to be played on NFLN. Watch it, it's Dallas Cowboys history. It's Tony Romo raw.

 

[The Quest for Six]

WHAT A CLASS ACT, Tony just garnered a huge amount of appreciation and respect from me today!!

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Right now Dak is the starter. But destiny has a weird way of playing out. We'll see what happens.

 

[fifaguy]

classy guy as always. who knows what the future holds....

 

[Nightman]

This was classic DAL......JJones running off a the mouth about Romo being a great OC some day,,,blah blah blah

What should have happened was that JGarrett should've had a press conference to announce Dak is the starting QB for the foreseeable future even now that Tony is healthy....it is one of those good problems and Tony is fine with it......Tony could then read a brief statement but not that OJ letter he just read

Way too awkward

 

[CATCH17]

It was a weird thing. It was a good thing to do for the team, but there was a lot of defiance there too. I think a lot of Romo haters prayed for an on the spot acceptance of life as a backup or even more foolishly, a retirement. None of that was there.

You're damn right there was!!!

Regardless of what he said you can hear it in his voice! He is way more upset than I believed he was.

 

[NickZepp]

That's gotta be the best way anyone has ever conceded a starting job to anyone else. Particularly a star player.

 

[agk136]

What I got out of it is he handed the keys over to Dak but left his options open for next year. He stated the burning inside is stronger than ever.

 

[Nova]

gah...

we failed him.
