Breer update on Romo

[LandryFan]

It's going to be interesting. .500 ball or lower, Tony definitely comes back and the decision is an easy one. It's possible Dak does better than that, though, and puts the coaches in a pickle. It'd be a great problem to have.

That very thought crossed my mind as I was typing my reply, but I didn't want to put too much subject matter into one reply. If Dak were to go 3-1 or 4-0 with very solid play, then I believe JJ has to let him play until the week 7 bye and reassess at that point. Personally, I think the odds are stacked against Dak playing well enough this year to take over the team permanently, but I'm not entirely ruling it out either. I would feel bad for Tony, but happy for Dak, the team, and the fans.

I see Dak showing promise (heck, he's already done that) but also showing that he's a rookie, resulting in Romo getting back into the game as early as he can. Long story short, If Dak can go 2-2 or better, we have a great shot at having our QB of the future and that's a good thing!
Even if he plays poorly, I will have a hard time declaring that he can't be an NFL-caliber QB. He just needs a chance to learn and grow without having the weight of the franchise on his shoulders. Personally, I think we have our next QB, I just don't want to rush him.

Well, if he works out Jerry threw a dart at a board of QBs and hit Dak so they picked him. If he doesn't work out, countless hours were spent scouting and interviewing him. That's kinda how it works

Sure do wish I had "likes" to give!

In the 4th round.... Passed on him 3 times...

They have admitted they didn't expect this from him. It's unrealistic even. Dallas stumbled upon this.

I guess the Patriots "stumbled" on Brady as well.

 

[CouchCoach]

Not according to coach Jerry.

Yeah, he's bamboozling the Giants coaching staff with "Ha ha, you don't know who were going to start". Like they don't have their own docs and know what the protocol is for this injury. They will prepare for a rookie mobile QB and he's going to have a lot of company in the backfield.

The Giants would love for us to prepare Romo to start that game. They'd turn the dogs loose and he'd be out before the Q1 ended.

If we get our next QB, I don't care how we get him and they shouldn't make a big deal out of the other QB's we wanted but they, the local media, will. I didn't notice anyone complaining about how or where the Broncos got Terrell Davis. How many RB's did Shanahan pass on?

Dak was there and we took him just where he was supposed to be taken. He'd dropped out of the 3rd on most mocks due to the DUI charge. And if Jaylon Smith can get 100%, we got a top 6 pick in the 2nd.

Management did what everybody else did, had other QBs rated higher than Dak. If he turns out to be real, everyone was wrong about his draft position. No team had him rated higher than where we took him or they would have pulled the trigger.

They sure did.

Just cant believe that after watching Romo break like a china doll last year and now this year, that all these guys want for Romo to get back on the field. As if he is going to take us to the promise land or something. These cats will never face reality.
And what a shame. When they could be enjoying the growth and maturation of Dak Prescott and this young offense.

We were always big proponents of Romo when others hated him. Without that guy we would have probably be 2-14, 3-13 every season for 10 years. I appreciate what he has done but reality is reality. The guy's body has been ravaged and he came into camp this year looking like a Dad. Love the guy but he has had his career. Time to move on as you said.

Romo will never be a definite scratch for any game this year until NFL league rules says Garrett has
to provide the 46. Garrett is not going to give anyone any information.

Yeah, I just don't understand the "it's insulting not to disclose thing." It's just a strategy. Lol. Just not showing all your cards to your opponent. Get whatever advantage you can. Big or small.

If you've watched any of his press conferences, he never gives the media much real information. Only his platitudes!

Can't say I hate his press conferences. Coach the team and do a good job. Don't care about anything else.

I expect us to have a winning record with Dak. As long as the defense plays in a fashion similar to 14 we're going to be in a position to win games. And with all of our offensive talent we should win more than we lose, even with a rookie QB. Dak will make mistakes, but all he has to remember is that there are other playmakers on the team - get them the ball. A simple screen pass to Zeke could turn into an 80 yard TD at any time. Dez is Dez. Dak spreads the ball around well and as long as he's not forcing it I believe we're going to be fine.

 

[Zman5]

Did they "stumble into Dak" or did they actually scout him?

My guess is he was scouted correctly since most teams thought the same as us. From what I read, he probably worked hard to improve his mechanics and playing under center since his last game in college.

He is supposedly very coach-able and smart kid. Doesn't surprise me that he could/did improve this much in that short time.

 

[Nightman]

Just put him on the IR for the 6 weeks and get it over with......we can bring in another QB with the roster spot and take away any temptation to rush him back...... we have the Bye Week 7, so that is the perfect time to bring him back

I agree. He will not be able to train with the back brace and when he is cleared to return it will take him 3-4 weeks to get back in game shape.
If we rush him, at his age, we risk what happened last year and then he gets sidelined for the year. If we play well enough to make the
playoffs, it would be nice to have Romo available when the money chips are down. Manning wasn't very good last year at all but, when
the SB was played guess who got the call to win it all.

I didn't really like this post, but I just 'liked' it because I can. It felt awesome.

You're right. I did it too and I have to admit that I never fully appreciated the power before. It's pretty intoxicating. Now I might go and take my like back, because I can.

Edit: And I think that nobody should be able to upload an avatar until they earn a like button. It's like earning the star. That way we can tell the new guys by the Rowdies.

Woo! I just did, and then gave it to you, because you mentioned it. I can't really describe the feeling of exhilaration right now.
