Cowboys say Tony Romo looks 're-energized' after offseason surgery

By Dan Graf

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo needed offseason shoulder surgery to fully strengthen the collarbone he broke twice last season, but he’s looking downright “re-energized” now.

Romo, 36, had surgery on March 8 and was given a six- to eight-week timetable to return to football activities. The Cowboys won’t begin organized team activities until May 26, but Romo has been working out at the team’s facilities and has impressed quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson.

"He's looking good," Wilson told the Dallas Morning News. "We had two practices where we've been out here on the field with the guys, and he's done everything. He's throwing, he's got good velocity on all of his throws, great movement in his legs. He looks like he's re-energized because he hadn't played, you know, missed the majority of the season. So he's real energized and anxious to get going."

It seems like whenever you think he is done, Romo comes back and surprises us. I am expecting a great season for Romo ahead with an improved running game.

I am hoping that Zeke can be to him what Terrell Davis was to John Elway in Elway's twilight years.

A good friend of mine tried to lower my expectations for Romothis weekend by saying something to the effect of "i cannot see Romo redefining himself in the twilight of his career."

Redefining himself? Told him that if he had paid any attention he would understand why i'm just hoping Romo "maintains." Forget redefining.
- 2nd highest QBR in nfl history
- Best 4th quarter QBR in nfl history
Want to talk winning?
- 4th highest winning percentage among active qb's Never had a losing season.
- All this while leading a team that went 1-11 without him last year, basically his entire career.

His back may have appreciated not playing much last season.

If we stay relatively healthy this year, we will win the East. I don't think it's even in question.

I hope they bonded adamantium to that bone.

 

[Joe Realist]

..but...is he still fat?

 

[Denim Chicken]

Get your analysis in before @mrtxstar comes to tell us Romo will never play again.

 

[QT]

So after the surgery, if a 300lb DT lands on him, he should be fine?

You should worry about the DT

 

[zrinkill]

Sounds great.

But I guarantee the team has never said a player looks sluggish and uninterested after off season surgery.

Nothing re energizes me more then surgery!! Cut me open and work on my broken bones and tears in my muscle..... Now that's better then Red Bull

 

[Doomsday101]

I am a big Romo fan but even I have to say while it is great that he is re energized and recovering nicely it is the off season and he is not having around 300 pounds putting hits on him. I fully expect him to be ready and if he can withstand the normal hits a QB is going to take within a season I think he can still play at a high level. It is the punishment that concerns me and even when a QB has released the ball and avoided the sack he is still taking shots much of the time.

 

[reddyuta]

He was having a poor season even before the 2 breaks,I am not sure he can replicate the 2014 season.

 

[links18]

Jerry really does think Romo is Favre part deux.....

This.

Oh and You are getting hotter in your old age.

Before the 2015 season we heard all of the typical crap. Best shape of my life. Never felt better. He took one good hit to his back in the 1st game and was already hurting. I wouldn't get any hopes up because he's feeling great when he can't get hit.
