A hypothetical Question? lets say Dallas end up with 5 or 6 wins at the end of the year

[bodi]

I understand the question, but you should have asked it differently. I think that's something you consider the moment the Cowboys slide to 8 losses and there is a clear and definitive leader in the East. In other words, once the Cowboys are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, then yes I would consider sitting Romo. Dez not so much, but Romo only has a few years, maybe 3 left in him, in my opinion.

an to me that's a big maybe - but he would make good mentor as a QB

SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION

Do you mean at the end of the season? If yes, then why are we at the end of the season and Romo and Dez are not playing?????

yes this what I mean

Yes, if we win only five or six games, I think Romo and Dez should sit at year's end. Of course, if we win the rest of our games right through the SB, I think Romo and Dez should sit at year's end too. They'll probably be a little tired from all the winning.

The only thing that needs to be sat down is this thread.

If they end up with 5 or 6 wins at the end of the year then the year is over and everyone sits. Sounds to me like you're trying to back track from your original suggestion of tanking the season.

 

[Kevinicus]

So...Romo and Dez are not to be drafted next year?

Is this a fantasy football thread?

I'm so confused.

 

[iceberg]

duh yes

can i ask you then - who WOULD "participate" in the draft?

how in the holy hell do you keep a player on the bench for the draft? i just don't get it but you keep on "duh'ing" - suits you.

have a day.

The Cowboys situation just got a little more dire with the Saints winning last night because if NO hangs in and are in position for a wildcard at the end of the season they hold a tiebreaker over us. The Cowboys already have 2 conference losses and to get a wildcard you have to win tiebreakers. Even though we're only 5 games into the season it's become apparent the Cowboys are going to have to win the East to make the playoffs. The Giants who are riding a 3 game winning streak and are up by one game in the division and are looking like the team to beat right now. If they beat Philly and the Cowboys the following week we're going to be in some serious trouble. Regardless what happens between the Giants and Philly the Cowboys have got to get a win vs the Giants or they may end up being in too deep of a hole for Romo to dig them out of when he returns.

They'll be little room for error when he returns if the Cowboys don't get at least a couple of wins during his absence. If Cassel doesn't play well vs the Giants and doesn't provide the spark the team is looking for good luck having him find his stride against the Legion of Doom the following week. Seattle may not be the team they've been the past 2 seasons but they're still a good team and it's going to take a solid 4 quarters on both sides of the ball to beat them. The Cowboys are obviously in the middle of a collapse since Romo went down it's been one loss after another and they've become so desperate they're having to go from one backup QB to another to try and find a spark. They better hope Cassel provides one or this is going to be a very forgettable season. I know everyone is looking for something positive but it's going to take winning some games for anything good to come out of this season.

All I want is the kid from LSU who can't enter the draft till 17

I would love to have Fournette. Like right now. Playing next game.

So you're saying we need to beat the Gints.

 

[KJJ]

Yep, as in must win because I don't see the Cowboys righting the ship against Seattle if they don't beat the Giants. They need something to feel good about heading into the Seattle game.

Stupid idea
