Yes. He looked good. I'm solidly behind Dak, but I wish there were some way Tony could ride into the sunset with a Super Bowl win with the Cowboys.

Exactly how I feel, I'm a Romo guy but I am behind Dak as he is the guy who is playing. I wish there was a way Tony could get his due respect from the fans and complete his career as a Cowboy with a super bowl win.

But Dak is the man now I don't see a scenario that Tony plays unless Dak gets hurt, which is not what I want at all. I mean I don't want any injuries to Dak in any form, not even a hangnail. I want Dak and Zeke to march us down to Houston and win it all and hopefully Romo can take satisfaction knowing that he helped shape Dak into the QB that he is by supporting him and being a professional role model for him.

I thought this was an interesting take... I agree with what he says here:

• I have been pretty mute on this topic, at least in print, and there’s really no reason to break that trend. The week before last, I was watching practice and, my word, did Romo look unreal. Just making throws that only a handful of quarterbacks have ever made in my lifetime, dropping balls in spots where almost no one else would even throw. It is what it is, right? Sadly, and ridiculously unfairly, if the Cowboys don’t win the Super Bowl there are always going to be questions and debate about who should have been taking the snaps.

This is all confusing on so many levels. Dak Prescott deserves being in the discussion for NFL MVP, yet he’s not the best quarterback on his team. I’m sorry, he’s just not. Regardless of who you think deserves to start, I am guessing, I am hoping that everyone agrees on that. Look, Daniel Day-Lewis is the best actor of the last 30 years, right? That doesn’t mean if you give him Leonardo DiCaprio’s role in Titanic it’s a better movie.

As a Cowboy's fan I can't believe our great fortune at the qb position. We have had an amazing 10 years with an undrafted free agent and fell into a future franchise qb at the bottom of the 4th round. Most teams can't find one, let along two, let alone where we found them! I love Dak, and think he has a bright future, but I still fall into the camp that believes he isn't the best qb on this team. Does that mean he shouldn't be playing? I don't know, but watching Tony on that drive reminded me of how brilliant he can be.

Well that was one drive against a lesser team, but still it showed his passing is on the money.
Sadly I dont think they will go to tony no matter what in playoffs.
And Dak may play great and win.

What I found disturbing was the game with sanchez at QB made the coaching look bad, and so how good will our coaching be
in playoffs.??

I agree that it was just one drive, but it was a real honey of a drive. I hope Dak delivers us to our 6th super bowl, and we win several more over the next 10 years.

I assume he meant exactly what he said, which is that he practices like he plays. It's also true that he said this in the context of playing behind a player who doesn't, according to his GM.

Well, he said if he practices well, then this usually translates similarly for him on Sunday. But he didn't say such in the context of what Jerry Jones said about Dak. That quote by Jerry was made months before independent of anything Romo said. IMO, to juxtapose the two as if they were said concomitantly is reading an intent into the meaning of words that simply is not there. Tony is smart, but I don't think he's a diabolical genius like Keyser Soze.

It's diabolical or even that complicated. Romo is a good practice player, Dak isn't, everyone around the team knows it, and Romo's as human as anybody else. So he talks to the media after the game and says what's on his mind without throwing a teammate under the bus.

The guy threw 34 TD's and 9 Int's in 2014 behind this line with a competent running game - and about 5 of those int's were on balls the receiver popped up by mishandeling the catch. That's almost a 4:1 TD:Int ratio.

And yet people want to pretend Tony is some kind of turnover machine. It's about all they got left.

I still don't know what your point is. Romo is better practice player. He's also the better QB, right now. The coaches know this. Jerry Jones knows this. Other people who have witnessed practices have testified to this. The reason Dak is playing is because 1) the team's style of play has been extremely conducive to winning so far and 2) Tony isn't as young as he used to be and there is a concern with injury. He doesn't need to go through the media to take pot shots at a rookie or argue for his case. What Jones' comment implies is Dak isn't as good a practice QB as Aikman or Romo, but that doesn't seem to matter for him, as his game seems to elevate when the lights are on so to speak. So even if Tony was "diabolically" arguing through the media for himself, it doesn't make any sense since it doesn't counter what Dak does when it matters, which is most important. I for one thought that Romo should have took the reigns of the team when he was cleared to play if he was performing better in practice and this translated to the field on Sunday. That is what Garrett supposedly preaches, and that is what a meritocracy is. It's not because I think what Dak has done isn't great, but it's because I believe the question of whether Romo could make what he's called the best team he's ever been a part of even better is one that needs to be answered. This isn't a diminution of Dak, but a justification for what a veteran QB provides that a rookie QB simply might not have the experience to do come playoff time, all things being equal.

The current situation with the team is really rare and it gets stranger by the week. It's interesting to look into it and have some idea of the forces that fuel the internal debate over the QB -- beyond just the obvious reasons that Dak is starting. The practice issue is something that Romo's no doubt using to try to make his case. And I do mean in those internal debates, not in public.

Anybody who thinks this is Romo using the media to snipe at Dak is inevitably going to see it that way. I'm not one of those people though, I'm just saying "aha so that's what he thinks." He's probably right. Either way, it's cool to know.

edit: And now I see that I left out the "not" in "it's not diabolical." So no wonder it didn't make sense.

I'm ready for my closeup Mr. DeMille...
​

Situation: Dak Prescott became the unquestioned starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys in 2016.

Question: What would I, DallasEast--moderator, grandfather, father, husband, brother, and a certified nut who plays Star Wars Battlefront WAY too freaking much--do with Tony Romo if I could make the decision based on this very real reality?

Hmm.

I would release him next June.

I want the franchise to move on as quickly as humanly possible in the upcoming offseason based on the decision it made in the least problematic way possible.

I could not care less if Romo ends up on a division or conference rival, AFC or NFC contender or pretender.

I want the front office to finalize whatever plan for addressing quarterback depth in 2017 and beyond the moment they made the decision. And if releasing Romo outright without strings, crushing the dreams of drafting completely unverifiable surefire Pro Football Hall of Fame bound college superstars, and pisses off one, two, ten, 100, 10,000, a million+ people, it would please me in ways not printable on a family forum.

I am the worst Cowboys fan ever. Dumb. As. Hell. Yep. I said it.



..is that direct enough?



Thoughts? Gotta work now. I'll check back later.

Whatever visionary. You asked. You received. First it was me not being direct. I was direct. Next it's grandstanding. Answering a question, which I did, just doesn't seem to cut it unless it fits a "proper" parameter. Want a visionary-type only response to your questions? Have a discussion with a mirror.

I'm going back to work.

I see that tackle every Sunday, QB pops right up.

You don't see that same tackle every week where a QB slides oddly and gets hit directly in the back...I don't care who you are you don't see that every sunday.

Good grief the hyperbole some are willing to throw out there to justify some kind of silly agenda is crazy,

This.

That was a very rare tackle timing-wise. Just weird.
Going into a slide but off the ground and then right before you land, you're weight gets more than doubled, directly on your tail bone. Like chair a pulled out from under you but with a very large someone jumping on you as you go down...like jackhammer.
That's one that's really hard to duplicate...if ever again for one player. All the doctors say it's rare and also not one expected to occur again.

I would challenge those saying otherwise to provide a clip with proof.
 
He should have made it clear from outplaying Dak Prescott that he expects to start in the playoffs.

I just wanted to say if you're trying to be duplicate Risen Star's posting style, you're doing it wrong. And badly.

I remember watching NFL network right after it happened and David Carr said that he had almost the exact same hit early in his career and it broke his back and he missed 8 weeks. This was before it was reported that Tony's back was broken mind you, it was right after the game when it looked like he escaped injury.
