Spoken like a juvenile.
And calling people "juvenile" isn't... NOT!

be prepared for chuck and duck and a non running romo. Romo should run the ball more if he can pick it up with his legs.
I wish you were a soccer fan.
Romo is a friggin warrior that's for sure. He may be the toughest player of our time.
Really, who else has played with:
Busted throwing hand
Busted ribs
Busted lungs
Broken back
And for the "most" part he has played effectively.
Whatever else you might say about Tony he absolutely gives it his all and then some.
He has my eternal respect and gratitude for wearing The Star with such honor.
You would be surprised how many people break those processes and never know it.
This is what worries me if he plays. We've seen the guy play through some tough injuries and still stand in there to deliver a pass, but when it comes to his back, he seems to try more to protect it more than the other injuries he's had.
They're going to permanently handicap Romo. The guy is tough and wants to play, but as a head coach, sometimes you have to make a decision that will be both for the health of the player and for the organization. We can keep pushing Romo to his limits and keep playing him while he's injured or we can let him heal.

We saw how he looked last game after he took that huge hit. If Romo is still stiff and his mobility is slowed down, it WILL put him at risk to take big shots when the blitz comes. Romo is the type of QB that holds on to the ball a bit longer than usual, and he usually avoids punishment from it by moving around. If his mobility is limited, he will take a hit where he usually would have avoided the sack.
Bryce Petty is 23 years old and isn't coming off back surgery. Doubt Romo is going to recover as quickly as a player 11 years younger than him. We'll just have to see how things play out and hope if Romo has to sit it's not more than for a game or two.

Yeah, I'm not but what if I was? Are soccer fans incapable of liking American's Team?

Not when they're acting like juveniles, no.
And let me clarify. I said that back issues aren't anything to be taken lightly. Those who have had back problems understand this.
I also said Romo may or may not be able to play, but you can't fault fans being concerned about his back.
You responded by saying I was being "chicken little."
If you don't understand the seriousness of the spine and back and how it is the skeleton support structure of the entire body, you are either
a. ignorant or
b. juvenile, i.e., you haven't mature enough in knowledge and understanding to grasp the seriousness of such a condition.
I don't want to call you ignorant. So I settled upon juvenile, especially when my post was not snarky or overly critical of anyone.
And, for the record, Romo is expected not to play. So that supports my perspective. Now, if you want to engage in these little elementary games or these "You called me juvenile so you must be juvenile too" games, be my guest. I'm just trying to provide perspective on the seriousness of a back issue, which I have had before. And I didn't even need surgery. Imagine someone who has had surgery.
It is NOTHING to take lightly.

I've had back surgery and back problems over 40 years. I'm still laughing at your panicked chicken little routine. Romo wil be fine, so grow up and chill out.
