Like when Tony played against San Fran with a broken rib and won the game?

Honestly what is the point of this?

One tough SOB

You honestly didn't get his point? I mean, Romo was one tough SOB to play with a punctured lung, broken rib etc.....
If anyone questions his drive and toughness they're to be ignored and are complete idiots.
But his availability is what ultimately took him out of the game. The injuries took their toll. It happens.

It sounded like a dig at Romo. Not breaking your collarbone isn't an "ability."

I'm well aware that injuries are what ended his career - but to use it as any comparison to Dak is disingenuous.

Not really. Prescott has never missed a single game. His durability is a huge advantage. Look around the league. Very seldom are teams winning with backups. Prescott is more physical and athletic.
Injuries didn't just end Romo's career, it hurt the team many other times he couldn't start.

Not getting injured isn't an ability, especially when compared to Romo's injuries. Dak isn't a better athlete than Tony was, just a bit of a better runner.

Romo's injuries were the results of taking hits that Dak simply never does, not because Dak is so good at not getting hurt (as if that's a skill?). Romo's injuries hurt the team, yes, but it's not like he deserves blame for that.

Lmao, you Romo love is kinda sad. "just a bit of a better runner." Lol. Mmm K.
Taking hits and staying healthy is very much an ability.

Next you'll claim Prescott doesn't get tackled as hard......

He is a better runner, Tony didn't do it. But no, Dak's not some vastly superior athlete. In the pocket, Tony is athletic as most anyone other than the pure running QBs.

No, it's not.

No, he doesn't.

Tony is 2 under and in 53rd place in the AT&T Byron Nelson PGA golf tournament played in Dallas, just sayin...

The point is very simple Tony was a warrior but his body wore out so we could no longer take advantage of his talent because he could not stay on the field . Its nothing against him time catches everyone .

Tonys lack of availability became a liability So far that has not been a problem with Dak. I don't understand why people had all the patients in the world while Tony perfected his game but none while Dak is perfecting his.

The rule changes regarding hitting the QB have changed so much in recent years, it should make it easier for QBs do that going forward.

They have not quite made it 2 hand touch yet . You are still required to get up after being thrown to the ground by 300 lb men

Meh, Romo missed 3 games total in his first 3 and a half seasons with much weaker rules in terms of protecting the QB. I doubt Dak will stay as healthy as he has so far, dude has been incredibly lucky with a couple of injuries.

If you don't believe this, another comparison to Dak would be Cam Newton. He didn't miss a game his first 3 seasons, but he seems constantly banged up now.

For The record Tony was a great QB tough as nails but no where near as well physically conditioned as Dak is .

In his prime Tony was mobile and elusive IN THE POCKET. Dak is a Beast who is a threat to run over people when ever he has the ball . His conditioning and stocky build absorb hits that Tony could never take towards the end of his career.

I believe Tony could have prolonged his career if he changed his style and stopped holding on to the ball so long . What once gave us highlight film ended up being his undoing

A lot of wasted talent under jason Garrett. Some of those teams we had with romo should of atleast made it to the bowl once. Coaching is our handicap.

Some can't except that truth and are making Prescott the punching bag.

In a recent article about Romo playing golf. It referenced that Romo still has to do special strength training and rehab for his back, due to all the previous injuries.

Loved Romo. But his back was done. It’s not a knock on him at all to say that. It’s the reality of sports. Nobody beats the clock.

I feel for him, no one deserves to live with that... But it could be worse? I'm glad he was able to walk away.
