Brett Favre's advice to Tony Romo: Sit until you're needed

[Clove]

LMAO if that your analogy of Romo being a car salesman than its pretty hilarious. Romo has always been able to deliver. He has always made the "sale" each and every sunday. However, the dealership always gave the customers a bad car to begin with. Its not the salesman fault the car broke down after the sale. Its the dealership.

Thus your logic is wrong here. Romo carried this team thru bad coaching and bad defenses to the point where he had to take it upon himself to carry the team. No other QB in the NFL has done more with less.

If you don't think Romo is any good just use 2014 as a reference - where we finally got a running game going. He basically should have been the MVP that year. Not Rogers.

So to say Romo haven't done much means that you have a personal agenda - and it has nothing to do with Romo's performance.

Where did it take us? You have no concept of Dallas Cowboys history. Super Bowl or bust baby.

This place is going to be hysterical if and when Romo comes back and he throws an ill-timed pick or finds himself on the turf again. I look forward to hearing excuses from staunch Romo apologists on this board for why Romo should be the starter to lead this team to a championship in 2017 once he's "fully healed" and rested.

I think it's good advice and it works for everybody involved. Dak is playing great and I'm skeptical that Romo can come in, not having played much football in the past year and coming off injury...and step in and play better than Dak is right now.

Bringing Romo in right now doesn't benefit anybody. Any interception or fumble from Romo would get him slaughtered by the fans and the media. And I'd rather see him wait longer when we know he's healthy instead of coming right back in as soon as he's presumed to be healthy.

I hope Jerry was saying it just to say it, but at this point Favre is right. The best move for everybody is to have Romo come back when he's needed.

I think Romo needs to wait until the Cleveland game to come back.

Just heard some clips of Favre discussing this issue on His &Hers. Brett was kinda nice and cool about it. What he said didnt come off the same way some of these posts are indicating.

It's going to be insane.

For the record, we're just fans who respect and appreciate what Romo has been able to do on a football field. That group really ought to include everybody. It doesn't, unfortunately.

A subset of it (still a majority of the fans I think) legitimately thinks Tony probably still gives us the better shot to win the close games right now. That's not exactly fan-dividing material right there. Or it shouldn't be.

We all know Dak is the heir apparent. People who want to make him the starter now don't have the market cornered on appreciation for the rookie. And there's not any prize for who wanted to make the permanent change first.

Favre suggesting Romo do something he himself would NEVER do. Child, please.

It all sounds logical until you get inside the head of a highly successful NFL starting QB.
Favre would never have done this-probably the opposite.
None of the other top 10 guys would either.

I will give Romo credit in that he's helping Dak way more than most would--especially Favre. He wouldn't help Rodgers at all.

I heard the Favre interview. He made the case very logically. It's just not what he would've done.

I don't think Brett's necessarily offering bad advice here, but I just wanted to chime in to say that I don't like him and that he should just go away forever.

I legitimately chuckled at this. lol

And that's kinda my point. Yes, what he said can make all the sense in the world, until you consider the source.

It's hypocritical to say the least.. Favre was way too egotistical to sit behind Rodgers if it was suggested to him and would be offended if anyone suggested it. I mean, he went to Minnesota just so he could play against GB. He tripping. lol

If Sam Bradford goes down with a season ending injury before the trade deadline I bet Romo ends up in Minnesota in a heartbeat.

I may come across cynical about Romo but I do account myself as one of the one's who respects him and admires what he has brought to this football team over a decade. His is a storybook tale.I also think the emergence of Dak has forced me to take off the rose colored glasses and view Romo and his contibutions with a more objective lens.

I dont care who starts at this point.Im not going to let it affect my blood pressure one way or the other. I dont make personel decisions for the Boys. I'd actually enjoy watching Romo make me and his other doubters eat crow.

And then who backs up Dak if the Cowboys go all in on Dak? Mark Sanchez? or maybe even Kellen Moore? Naw, you can't weaken the position like that. Same folks wanted to trade Leary earlier are grateful as hell the Cowboys had him when Collins went down. Romo would just be a high paid backup.
