3 more Romo thoughts

[coult44]

1) Three back injuries in 2 1/2 years. I love how he has played this year. But this was a 115 million dollar mistake. Tony has the health of a 40-50 year old guy. How many QBs have had 17 year careers? We can't go into next season without his long term replacement. If we do, it will be another two decades of Bledsoe, Quincy, Vinny type years. I don't want to go through that again. Find out now if Weeden is the long term answer. We have a solid core, don't waste it.

2) Tony is playing timid and almost scared. He will not stay in, or step into the pocket to deliver a pass. Protecting his other two back injuries caused this one.

3) I'll never question Romos heart, passion, or desire to win. Just like I don't question if Jerry really desires to win. But the both of them have a character flaw that could derail what this team has the chance to do this year. They are more worried about themselves than they are about the team. Tony's desire to get back in the game the other night, and Jerry's desire to put him back in, was a disaster that everyone seen coming. A great team leader would have been wise, and made the correct decision. The entire JJ on the headset, in the locker room, and on the sidelines reopened the circus that hasn't been here this year. Tony limping back through the bar and onto the field was the main act.

This team is good, and if we can fight through this mid season adversity, it will make us strong and even better. But, sometimes you have swallow your Pride, Even if that means sitting in the backseat once in a while...If you don't trust your backups well enough to finish a game, or even play a game or two, they should not be on the team.

If you had posted this in the middle of the winning streak then I may give you some credit. But to post this after the back a back contusion and not seeing how he will play for next few weeks is simply an over reaction.

#2 is an overreaction to the Commander game.

As for #3, I wish Garrett would have intervened and not risk his QB. This probably irked me the most, in spite of everything this year.

You think finding A Winning NFL QB is easy? Look around the league. Most young guys are failing besides Andrew Luck.

We should ride Romo as long as we can.

Lmao before Monday, romo was having an incredible year and his scrambling to create plays looked like romo of old

It needs to be gameday. These comments are nuts

The comments are NOT nuts. We can't risk another season with Romo as our ONLY QB option. We have a good young core developing ... we can't risk everything on a QB with a bad back. Why are we not even trying to find a future QB???

 

[crashintonickdm]

Because it's week 9 of the season. We have what we have now. We need tony roght now

 

[tecolote]

No doubt this fanbase is spoiled, he plays like an all pro for 6 weeks then he has his "bad" game with a completion percentage above 60% and a 96 QB rating and we get a post like this.

 

[Idgit]

Well, I agree with parts of your first point, anyway. We do need to get the backup QB on the roster and started with development. That guy's very unlikely to be Weeden, though.

Don't think Tony was either timid or scared last week. And I'd never have considered rolling with Weeden with a better player willing and able to play.

 

[kevm3]

We need to draft a qb asap just so we have someone who can step in when he retires. look at how GB didn't miss a beat after favre left.

1) Three back injuries in 2 1/2 years.

I have this huge bruise right now on my surgically repaired knee from doing housework the other day. I guess that means I've had two knee injuries now.

Mods can't there be just one bash Romo thread?

How do I post about a third back injury he has it. Search back my entire history, I've talked about Tony's back since his first injury. I'm a huge Romo fan. This has nothing to do with anything other than finding a replacement for after this year, if he makes it.

Once again, I'm about as big of Romo defender as there evee has been. All this has to do with is finding a replacement for him long term. He will not play past next year. It will be physically impossible. Take this from someome who has had multiple surgeries of the same type.

Did your bruise cause you to to lay almost motionless for ten minutes? What were your MRi results? Bad comparrison bro. Please don't argue that this is not an injury. According to the team, this an entirely "different, and unrelated injury"

I am ok with #1, we do need to move on starting next year IMO.

#2 is definitely an overreaction. Romo has had an excellent series of games up to the washington game, nothing of the sort you describe here. Only after coming back at the end to play did he look a little timid, but that is expected of anyone considering they should not be in there due to injury (see #3)

#3 this sole responsibility lies 100% with Jason Garrett. Of course a player such as Romo, who has nothing but desire to help this team win like any other great player would, would want to come back and win the game after that. Problem is the headcoach should be man enough to be in control of this team and say "no, you done your part we need you down the line, time to sit this out and trust your fellow teammates can do their jobs.". That should of been it right there. No one to blame but JG. If Jerry overruled him and put JG's job on the line in doing so, then we really do have more problems than one loss and it would be shame on Jerry..
