Cowardly perspective and actually inaccurate anyway. That narrative has always been so incredibly spineless. And no, Beaz was only seemed "wide" open in a still photo with no pass rush or angles taken into account.
Perfect throw to Dez that was completed. heroic even.
If someone wants to say it later became incomplete due to the rules that were later changed and because Dez being Dez, wanted to extend the play into a TD, that's fine. The pass and catch were beautiful and the decision to take advantage of Dez finally getting single coverage was brave and exactly what SB winning QBs do vs trying to *****-foot dink and dunk to a title.

sure thing and Austin lost it in the lights save your fingers Romos in the booth we got another qb now

In 2013, Tony Romo famously signed a 6-year, $108 million contract extension. Combined with the $11.5 million he was already owed as salary in 2013, that gave him a 7-year, $119.5 million contract at the start of the 2013 season. In the 4 seasons from 2013-2016, Romo played only 34 games, and collected $65.5 million - an average of $1,926,470.58 per game played. That is the equivalent of $30.82 million per 16 games played.

Keep this in mind when you hear news about the contracts QB's are getting today.

Update: The numbers above are documented, and indisputable. Calling them dishonest doesn't change the facts. All inferences derived from this information are the responsibility of those making the inferences.
what inference are you making?

jesus some of y’all are stuck in the past . Murray fumble yes .Dez catch was ruled correctly as much as I hate it. Besides who had confidence the defense was going to hold up had we scored

if Romo would have just hit the wide open Beasley underneath they very well may have scored without leaving Rodgers time

but that was just his nature go for juggler take the risky path versus the more methodical path

he was a gunslinger to a fault and it didn’t always work out in his favor that’s why his dumb butt was always hurt at the end of career

well that and Garrett and jones putting him in a tough spot earlier in his career
Im sure youre "stuck in the past" too. Every sports fan is in one way or another, every human really

A turnover that halted a promising drive and turned in to points for the other team is irrelevant?

The call on the Dez play is debatable, (it was a catch) but the fact that Dez had it and could have just secured the ball and taken the first down is not. Dez blew it.

Both of those plays were huge in both the Cowboy's fortunes and in Romo's legacy.
You can say that for literally ANY play during a game. I don't subscribe to what ifs.

Admitting that you agree with an extremely stupid post doesn’t make you look good. Not that the post is any worse than your nonsense either to be fair...

Super duper stuper, what are you talking about? Because I don't agree with your garbage rants, is no need to be a pissant.

I was actually hoping you could explain it to me, since the original post is so stupid, and you agree with it since it rivals your own limited thinking. Exactly what can we glean from taking a retired QBs salary, dividing it up by the games they played and applying it to a completely different player’s contract negotiations? What do you “agree” with exactly?

Oh I love this.

So now you have disclaimers at the bottom of your post?

Freakin' brilliant.

Just add it to your sig. Much easier.

You remind me when I was younger and had my first divorce.

My attorney was so crappy, I just signed papers wanting to stop the agony.

The next time I dated I still had lots of anger and created an Application for Dating.

I asked questions like..

"What are your expectations of our relationship? Dating, sex, marriage, bondage.

Circle one please.

If we marry, how many children do you want?

Zero, 2, as many as possible, what's sex?

Fill in the blank..

How many lovers do you have listed on your cellphone on speed dial?

Zero, 2, 10, I'm celebate.

Any attorneys in your family?

If so, what are their specialties?

Civil, personal injury, Racketeering, divorce?

Last question..

If I gave you the key to my safe deposit box, what would you do?

Visit the vault, do a live video on Facebook to your 5000 friends showing the contents, remove the gun stored there and tensile "from Russia with love" on one of the bullets and reload the chamber. Or nothing. I do not trust banks.

I soon ran out of applicants and realized disclaimers were just devious ways of creating more work for an attorney.

Very soon after I went to work for a large attorney firm becuz I realized they could afford to pay me alot..

Life is a process-J.Garrett circa 2015.

All Jumbo was doing was giving a breakdown of a contract, and he used Romo's. It was not meant to neither cast aspersions on Romo, nor support paying Dak an exorbitant amount of money. That is what I took from his post.

I normally don't agree with you but the op is dumb. I'm just waiting for that guy to rage quit and come back with multiple new accounts every time he gets outed again. Good stuff.

His cap hit ended in 2018 (not last year) because we retired him as a June 1st transaction the same way any other retirement or cut could have been handled. Therefore we split his remaining cap accounting hit over two seasons (no money was actually paid). This is a standard process. We will probably do the same with Fredrick this year.

We stopped paying him after the 2016 season when he retired. This is not a difficult thing to look up.

I get people saying he may not have been worth what we paid, but why act like his retirement was treated any differently than any other player who retires while under contract?

Money was, in fact paid. It was just paid up front but the cap hit carried on. I mean, what's your point here? You have x in cap you can spend in any given year. Doesn't matter if you have paid money up front or in a given year, the cap hit still counts against the team. Carry millions of dollar into future cap years when a player isn't even playing is bad business IMO.

Apparently it's at least somewhat difficult or you we wouldn't be having to have this conversation. Does it count against the cap in each year? The answer is yes. Is it a hard cap? The answer is yes. Is the team gaining benefit in any of those years? The answer is no.

You suggesting that his retirement is treated differently is in your head. I never said anything about that. Only that the contract was stupid, which it was.

The sad spin guys are at it again, so if Dak is franchised and plays game one and is broken in half and doesn't play the rest of the season he was paid 31 million a game, hope you do not work in accounting , just watch the not so bright Daksters say see I told you.......sad really sad, in fact pathetic. I didn't think it could get this bad.

What was that infamous quote of his about having a good life despite the loss that everybody absolutely hated him for saying?
One of the lower moments in some Cowboy's fans history.
Imagine. Your dad has cancer, you lose a football game and you state the fact that yes it hurts but life could be worse...and people jump all over you.
Embarrassing for those fans that didn't agree with him, like grown-ups should.

Dez catch was ruled correctly as much as I hate it.

This was the problem with the rule and the way it was written. At what point is the process over and the WR become a runner? I don't believe the rule was ever intended for a player that caught the ball, got both feet down, lunged forward, lose it after hitting the ground. That's down by contact. I think the intention was for players that were catching the ball as they were going to the ground.

This just goes to show what Jerry Jones thinks about 8-8 seasons in regards to his quarterbacks and coaches.

Why on Earth would salary data from 2013 for Tony Romo have any bearing on 2020 Dak Prescott contract. It's an egregious reach at best, and a ridiculous inference at best.

This entire post is stuck in the past.
