Not sure how different this article is but it is Roger talking about it. Let's see how it goes.

What a bitter-sweet pill for Tony.

Roger has spoken.

I hate it for Tony too... but any team would stick with Prescott as long as they keep winning and as long as Dak is adored by the locker room.

It is the ony thing that makes sense.

Bob Sturm said it best last week on the radio...Tony isn't owed anything. His diehards always refer back to 2014 as if that was the greatest season ever. We didn't even make it to the conference finals.

Sturm and nearly every relevant Cowboys legend is on the Dak train. It's time for the Romosexuals to fall back. (This is a preemptive strike b/c I know there's a decent chance Dak struggles on Sunday and we'll hear the same calls for Romo from the Eagles game)

Dak shouldn't struggle against their defense, it is nothing special. We just have to hope their offense remains stagnate for another week.

 

[jobberone]

Wonder how close he and Tony are?

lol y'all mad now needed the cowboy top dog qb to tell y'all what should be common sense

(By y'all I mean the people that will dodge this thread)

Put Romo in to destroy the controversy and have it a play well or the rook's coming back in type of situation - Then we showed loyalty but ultimately and statistically it is now obviously the better choice at quarterback to go with the rookie and make things situational for Tony, be it that should happen. Then it will just relieve pressure for allllll of the controversy that looms in the future if for any reason, god forbid, in the playoffs now Dak starts playing like sh** and it becomes nothing but a 'should they or shouldn't they have put Tony back in as the seasoned veteran for the second half of the season'? 'Was Dak really ready'? 'Should Jerry and Stephen have shown more faith in their veteran starter Tony'?

It needs to get settled now, or else this will be the only topic on ESPN and various other sports varieties regarding the Dallas Cowboys until opening day next year. Tony's earned the start, let him earn to keep the job and if therein we find the silver lining then so be it.

Who's to say we're worse without him?

I think of last year and how Denver handled Peyton Manning as a good example. Let Dak start and Tony be the backup plan for "IF" Dak starts to struggle going into the stretch. Like Manning I think Tony or at least would hope Tony understands what's on the line.

Wonder how close he and Tony are?

My guess, not close at all. I wouldn't want to be close with the man taking my job...especially the high paying, high profile position of QB for the Dallas Cowboys. This must happen with every QB...Think Roger was in love with Danny? Anyway, its time and Staubach, like it or not, is correct.

Dak shouldn't struggle against their defense, it is nothing special. We just have to hope their offense remains stagnate for another week.

If they do get going, he might press to keep up with Ben as he appeared to do against Philly at times. Very worried about their double threat, especially with Church and Mo out.

Roger is an idiot and doesn't know football and whoever agrees with him is in that same category.

Did I do it right CZ?

Not true. Honor. Loyalty. Sacrifice. Come first.

You forgot that Staubach has a personal vendetta against Romo bc deep down he knows Romo>>>Staubach. Look at the stats!!!

I'm certain this isn't lost on those who read or post here, but this is so reminiscent of the year Tony took over for Bledsoe.

 

[SDCowboy]

I can't stand any more of win and he stays, garbage. This team isn't going to go 15-1. Either make this Dak's team (which it should have long since been by now) or go back to Romo already.

This QB situation is really starting to kill the fun of the season for me.

 

[Trouty]

Good for Dak, what a season, and now some of the all-time greats are supporting our young rook.

But guys, let's give Romo some respect for not creating controversy even once during this Dak train, i.e. going to the media, speaking out, complaining, etc, like a lot of selfish quarterbacks of his status, perhaps. would. He's been completely silent, like a true pro. A true team player.

Go Cowboys, big game tomorrow.

 

[DallasDomination]

I've fallen for players before but I've never cared about a player more than the team. This is Dak's locker room now and the fellas ride with him. Can you see the mentality change?

The chemistry between the young dogs and the veteran leaders has never been better.

 

[Brooksey]

Romo will lead us into the playoffs with Dak playing backup, that's almost a guarantee as far as I see it. Something will happen as we get closer to get Romo on the field.
