News: ESPN: Jason Garrett: If Tony Romo is healthy, he's playing

[NewsBot]

ARLINGTON, Texas -- While many might think all hope is lost for the Dallas Cowboys after Thursday’s 33-14 loss to the Carolina Panthers, Jason Garrett is not one of them.

If the CT scan of Tony Romo’s left collarbone comes back with favorable -- if unexpected -- news Friday, then Garrett will not hesitate using the quarterback.

“If Tony’s ready to play,” Garrett said, “he’s going to play.”

Owner and general manager Jerry Jones indicated the chances of Romo playing Dec. 7 against the Washington Commanders or even the “games ahead” might be difficult if the results of the CT scan show a break.

Good idea. Let Tony play again and have another chance to break it. You need to save him for next year.

 

[Gaede]

Please IR.

He clearly is not healthy, Jason.

While I understand JG saying this. I can't see a way anyone could consider Romo healthy in the next several weeks. The bone needs time to heal.

 

[Sarge]

Garrett is a goof on more levels than I had previously thought.

Because garrett never changes anything never adjusts, it's just more and more and more and more of the same. Sometimes it will work out sometimes it won't but we won't ever change anything.

This is not about evaluation for the future. Its not about making sure Romo is healthy for the remainder of his career.

This is about providing cover for Jason Garrett. If he can win a few games down the stretch, he (and his defenders) can say they never gave up, they played hard, etc.

In short, we can still get a few more moral victories. So all hands on deck.

no issue. bone is broke again. See you in July, Tony

"all hands on deck" of the listing SS Garrett. Guy would risk Tony's fading career on meaningless wins to save his own skin.

I think you best describe what it really is about!

And use the excuse we aren't mathematically eliminated.

The chance of a favorable result happening is slim to none. Yet it is still greater than the chance of a Garrett coached team ever winning a Super Bowl.

The bone is broken and there's not enough time for it to heal, so this is all moot.

But this is even more evidence of what a buffoon Jason Garrett is.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Enough with the "what if" koolaide this season....

 

[Tenkamenin]

If you saw the look on his face when he was heading to the locker room you could tell it was broken.

 

[Daillest88]

Throw in the darn tiwel. I understand Garrett saying this. He can't coach for crsp. No adjustments, crappy system.

He's posturing. Tough talk from a guy who kicks FGs down 20 in the 3rd

I want Garrett gone worse that I did campo in those lean years in the 2000s

There is zero chance Garrett wins 5 games with the teams Campo had to field during those years. Zero chance. We're way more talented than those teams were and we couldn't win a single game with Romo out.
