ESPN: Vote - What should Dallas do at quarterback once Tony Romo is healthy?

[Reality]

While some view Romo as the team's best option for the postseason, his injury history combined with Prescott's strong play has left many in Cowboys Nation intrigued by the rookie's prospects. The Oct. 30 contest is a date with the rival Eagles, who knocked Romo out for eight weeks in 2015, beginning the team's tailspin en route to a 4-12 finish.

If Dak keeps improving each week and we keep winning, we do nothing at QB once Romo is healthy....period!

 

[perrykemp]

<IF>, <IF>, <IF> Dak somehow goes 3-0 over the the 3 games, AND plays well doing it I think the Cowboys are going to have a very difficult decision to make.

 

[jimmy40]

there was a point when we all knew Danny White just couldn't get it done even though he was a very good qb for us for a long time. Romo = White

 

[Super_Kazuya]

I'm sure a bunch of beer gut, not very discerning fans will make this poll 100-0 in favor of Dak, but either way Tony is going back in. And when he does -- and it may be hard to believe right now, so trust me on this -- but Tony also throws a mean 5 yard pass to Jason Witten. We'll be fine.

 

[zrinkill]

Its 72% to 28% in favor of Dak at the moment.

Even if we go 2-1 and Dak continues to improve, I don't think there's any decision they'll have to make they'll stay with the hot hand if they're smart.

Romo is not on equal footing with Danny White. How many NFC title games did Danny lead Dallas too?

Dak has taken the starting QB job, IMO. It's his to lose at this point. Have Romo pick out his favorite color clip board and a nice shiney new pen...

 

[Gameover]

Horse manure

Every time I see a clip of "The Catch", I wonder what Danny White's career would've been like had Pearson broken away from the 49ers defender.
Sorry... reliving a bad memory for a moment. Smh

 

[Thefeelofcotton]

I'm gonna quote Mickey Spagnola and say "follow the money." The Cowboys aren't paying Romo 20 million a year to sit the bench.

 

[Deep_South]

Tony is going to start when he's ready to play, probably against Philly. That's because 2 of people in the 28% voting for him to start are Jason and Jerry.

 

[Craig]

Dak is going to need to learn not to overthrown his target every time he pushes the ball beyond short range to get himself into the argument with romo.

Same for left tackle and left guard.

back to back 200 yard rushing games.

the best ability is availability.

At he doesn't throw pick 6 like Romo.

The Romo-White comparisons need to be put to bed. White had five top ten seasons compared to Romo's eight, and that was with far superior teams. When Dallas reached the NFC title games from 1980-82, White had the best supporting cast in the NFL over those three seasons.

championships Romo - 0 White - 0. There's the only comparable stat that matters

 

[RoboQB]

Yeah. That too. Drew Pearson was one of my favorites as a kid. I meant no disrespect to him. If he scores, he's in the hof...should be a yway.

You think you're comparing players, but that's actually a comparison of teams.
