DMN: Parcells on if Romo should retire: 'I wouldn't count this guy out just yet' - Audio Post #13

Reality · Sep 5, 2016

Hall of Famer and former Dallas Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells recently joined The Rich Eisen Show to talk about Tony Romo all things football. Below is a portion of their interview.

Rich Eisen: Let's talk Tony Romo. It appears in the eyes of many that this is the end game for him, that he can't stay healthy. There are some that think he should retire. I'd love to get your thoughts on Tony Romo's latest injury, coach.

Bill Parcells: I have a very long relationship with Tony. Actually I just text him the other night after I found out about it. Pretty extensive text. You know, I wouldn't count this guy out just yet. I mean I think when you're in your mid-30's and you've been hurt a couple years a row, those whispers all start. People doubt. They do those things and that's just human nature. Also maybe his successor has arrived. We're not sure about that yet. But it looks like that may be the case.

With that in mind, you feel a little like an outsider as a player. Coaches still have to coach. They're sympathetic but they have to coach who's there. And you're not there. So it's all those things and it can kind of put you in a little bit of a dark place if you don't watch it.

But I don't underestimate this young man. He's got rare toughness and I know he's going to make an effort to get better. Now what happens after that? He's got still conditioning after he rehabilitates his injury.He's still got conditioning time and he's got to get back into the flow of football. That's a pretty big task at this time of year.

Parcells clearly hasn't gotten the memo that Romo is done and the Dakota era is here...

Bill also said nice things about Jerry. I'm sure that would go over like a lead balloon on this board.

He's got nice things to say about both of them. Maybe he just gets it, period. We've got a good starter in Tony and a chance to have a good young starter behind him in Dak.

That's my take on it as well. Not sure how this could be such a divisive subject already. Baffles me, although it shouldn't. Most of the move on from Romo crowd have always been anti-Romo anyway.

Hope Romo comes back and can stay healthy but also hope Dakota shows he belongs as a QB in the League plus the potential to be a franchise guy.

There's always been a groundswell to replace Tony without any regard for how good he actually is. Tony's play had kept it quiet for a couple of years now, but it didn't take much to flare it up now, did it? Disappointing. Not remotely surprising.

Translation: Parcells likes what he's seen from Prescott.

I'm just happy for the 'Romo must go' crowd. The way they had to suffer through all of those wins in 2014 and then see the team completely implode without Romo in 2015 - that almost made it seem like the guy is pretty important and has made the team look better than it was in recent years. But they are troopers and they weathered the storms of both our team's success and failure. Now they can chirp, and I say they've earned it.

On a completely unrelated note, is there a cap on how many people can go on the ignore list?

That was my take from this, the Tony bits are superfluous.

Parcells seems to always know how to put things in the right perspective.

No cap on the ignore list, you lucky *******. I can't use it at all because I have to be able to read everybody's posts.

I actually thought of that after I posted. I was thinking how glad I am that I'm not a mod.

I think Parcell's is eating too much rice pudding with raisins these days. That's the next step on the road to being senile. .

Because he isn't done.

You're preaching to the choir AmberBeer.

Sounds like you are speaking from experience.

Interesting to hear Parcells say he learned a lot about the business side when he was in Dallas.

"rare toughness" pretty nice compliment from Duane Charles Parcells.

Toro9 · Sep 5, 2016

Good stuff. I always appreciate some Parcells talk.

No, the rest of us will be perfectly happy if you ask and answer your own questions
