Romo is going to compete for a starting job in Dallas next season.
Honestly, I know the pundits disagree, but I still think
this is the most likely development.
It's all just so much more complicated with three different interests (Romo's, Jerry's, and there being another team ready to obtain him) having to be satisfied for him to be gone. It would be different if Jerry couldn't care less about Romo's perspective. And it would be different if Romo was a pain on the sidelines and in the locker room. And it would be different if potential other teams didn't have to be so preoccupied with his age and injury situation in light of his salary situation. Right?
Wrote this earlier in the thread:
The likelihood of either A or B is, in comparison to standing pat, pretty skinny imo.
Moreover, there is no shortage of recent lessons of breakout QBs who came back to earth. There seems some obvious wisdom in taking a tortoise-like approach to dealing with the situation. People who I otherwise respect say, "Well, you don't want to have that media controversy going on. It's a distraction."
To which I have to say... you mean, unlike
this season?
C'mon. That's not a reason to be a motivated seller of a top tier QB.
