News: ESPN: Jason Garrett: Tony Romo is healing up

[BourbonBalz]

Everything you are saying there adds up to the term injury prone. You just dont want to say it.

But thats fine I dont need you to say it. Ill just put it like this then:

The older Romo gets the more unlucky he seems to be with injuries.

The net result is the same. Romo isnt playing AGAIN and counting on him to be our starter all year long is getting harder and harder to do.

How about putting your money where your smart*** mouth is. How much do you want to bet on your claim that Romo doesn't play again? How much?

 

[Sarek]

I am curious to see how Romo plays, or for how long he can play after his return.

 

[TwoDeep3]

Thank you for your learned opinion, Dr. Garrett.

Ok so the chronic back injury makes injury prone to his back, but not the back bone is that correct? The BONE part was pure bad luck correct?

And the way his style of play makes him more susceptible to hits, but taking more hits doesnt make him more susceptible to injury?

So basically it doenst matter how old or young you are, or what position you play or how you play the game. The only thing that matters in injury is luck and the simple fact that football is a tough sport?

You can agree that he is now hurt again for the 2nd year in a row? And that he has now been injured 3 times over the course of 2.5 full games and 2 drives in preseason correct?

This technique of asking a bunch of questions over and over that have been repeatedly answered in earlier posts in the same thread...does that seem to work for you with other posters? Cause it seems like the repetition would get tedious. I don't feel like answering most of these again.

I will address the play style comment, because it's new. Yeah, as I've said in many of the offseason threads, Tony needs to be better getting rid of the ball sooner once he leaves the pocket, because that seems to be where a lot of his issues have come from. That, and from blown protections on blitzes (which I hope was addressed with the addition of Elliott). For the record, though, Dak probably carries his own risks if he's going to exercise the right to leave the pocket more than the average QB does. As you say, football is a tough sport. Sometimes when guys try to make plays they put themselves in compromising positions.

QB controversy will divide this fanbase.

Maybe if Romo was 10 years younger.

Back by game 3 or 4. Book it

I agree.

If they think it's healed enough and can protect the lower back better..

he gets a pain killer and goes in as the backup.

Another couple of weeks at practice for conditioning and he'said ready.

But hopefully we don't.

Hopefully DAS is playing well enough to let him rest longer.

Then if Romo is needed..in he goes.

Romo won't need a pain killer. He shouldn't even need one now if he's rehabbing.

Did you watch the game last night? I found myself saying that if Romo was in place of Newton and getting hit like that he would either be dead or out for the season. I cant even see a way that Romo comes close to making it through a game like that. And I am not talking about his rushing. He was getting nailed dropping back.

As far as Romo being old and injury prone, its now a fact. Whether you own up to that or not is of no consequence to me. I could care less about bone density or any type of ridiculous nonsense you talk about. The guy gets hurt now at an alarming rate because of the way he plays, his age, and the multitude of injuries he has had over his long and tough career. You and your little band of blind Romo defenders can sit and continue to ponder bone density while Romo remains on the bench with a broken back.

Lets forget about when he comes back. How about how many games he plays before he gets hurt again?

Well, there you go. Romo is day-to-day.

or week by week...

i will continue to ask you questions until you admit defeat by telling me what i want to hear because i can't handle my own insecurity of potentially being wrong so i will annoy the world into agreement if for no other reason than to shut me up.​

The problem with you is that you think opinion = fact. And you still think you have more medical knowledge than doctors.

It's like you haven't read or understood anything I've said in the thread. With each post I'm expected to address another intentional misunderstanding of what I'd said earlier. How does anybody argue with that?

They don't. Knock yourself out.

It's an interesting tactic, anyway. Asking them to repeat what they've said many times in multiple ways as if you're incredulous and just want to get them on the record. Asking them obvious unrelated questions. Then, concluding they said something almost completely unrelated to their actual posts--which are still right there for everybody to see--and claiming victory over the strawman for no reason whatsoever and saying your uninterested in hearing any further on the topic and hoping nobody notices.

He's just getting healthy to get hurt again.

You think its about luck and I think he is old and injury prone. We both agree his style play makes him more injury prone although you refuse to use the word "injury prone".

That pretty much covers it from what I can see.

Is this your "Radical Islamic Terrorism" approach?

Yep, the Dr's said that within a couple weeks there really isn't an issue with pain. They said there was not ligament damage so he could be throwing soon. Basically the only thing he can't do is take contact until it is healed.
