ESPN: Sources: Tony Romo unlikely to be active when Cowboys meet Steelers

So when Romo is starting will you be rooting for him? My guess is no and you will be sulking about Dak.

Absolutely. But it's not going to happen. Romo has been healthy for weeks now. Why else is he not playing? They know they can't take Dak out on a roll like this.

No, I won't. I know this must be a tough process for you as you have always been a bigger fan of Tony Romo than the actual Dallas Cowboys. Take it from someone who's been right about this from the start, (even with people like you getting butt hurt) this is good for the team. Obviously they're 7-1 and a stable future now.

No, the only thing I know is that everything you know about football can be neatly fit in a thimble with room to spare. So if you say Dak is going to start all the games, then I can only assume Romo is going in soon. So you'd better get your vodka ready, because it's going to be hard times for all the Romo haters. It's funny with as many times as you have been wrong that you can even say these things with a straight face.

That lucks going to run out on Dak as well, he's had several passes that should or could be easily picked. That eagle game could have ended real quick on that last drive with that poor pass that was dropped by their db. I love Dak, but let's not pretend he's reinventing the wheel. I think we have the same record with a healthy Romo, and probably unbeaten.
That said, your not holding your breath every time Dak is hit like romo.

Its a shame that the door opening is possibly based on Dak having a bad game. Any bad games by TRomo will immediately begin with 1. Rusty, 2.Trying to regain chemistry, and 3. Typical high risk/great reward play......possibly 3 losses right there.

Don't forget 4.: not playing the easiest schedule in the league...

Nothing fishy about it... There have been articles for weeks about "riding the hot hand" They can bring Romo along slowly, because Dak is playing well. If Dak played like trash for an extended period, they would've wheeled Romo out there on a gurney. Dak is playing well, Romo can get stronger.

Kristi Scales said it best. Their probably won't be an announcement, but you will be able to tell by the practice reps and whose getting them with the first team.

Edit: Having said that, I tend to pay attention to locals than nationals. No knock on Schefter or Caplan, but the national guys aren't there everyday.

Great post.
