How did Romo lovers feel about Romo starting that meaningless game in preseason 2016?

[TheMarathonContinues]

I loved that he started that game.

Never faulted organization for playing Romo in preseason. In the NFL, you are one play away no matter when you are playing.

If it wasn’t for Romo starting that preseason game Dak would’ve never got his shot to retire Romo. So I guess I owe Garrett a thank you.

That is wrong Dalton was a Cowboy and doing his job, root for him the Same you would Dak...These arguments between people on these forums somehow make players villians and that is ridiculous....

I take it you didn't read the comments from some posters on this forum after Dalton received the cheapshot hit?

Possible or more likely he would have gotten jacked up. But i digress cause we aren't getting anywhere here except we know you love you some Romo and are still salty its all good. You don't remove a QB that's won 10 straight. You dont remove a QB who had won over the locker room better than the the QB he is replacing.

If you want to say he got Wally Pipped then we can agree otherwise I think we can agree to disagree.

Again you are projecting. . . none of those things are true.

But i digress cause we aren't getting anywhere here except we know you love you some Dak and are still lying to yourself . . . because you know in 2016 Romo was the better Option. . . . Except for all of these injuries that had him at home with Hospice

That team lived and died with Zeke and an easy schedule Romo would have enhanced it . . . the Rookie QB was just along for the ride

Dak didn't retire Romo . . . the Genius GM made a business decision

Jerry wanted him to win one as a Cowboy sure, but again Jerry loved Romo and would not keep him from going to another team.....If he blocked Romo there is no way Romo would not have leaked that all over the place....Jerry released Romo once Romo had decided to retire...Romo had options to be a QB he chose to hang them up over medical reasons...Jerry would'nt look ridiculous he would been vindicated that he was right about how good Romo was...come now this is nuts.

Jerry would look ridiculous and incompetent for allowing a rookie QB play ahead of Romo on a Superbowl calibre roster had Romo even reached the Superbowl elsewhere.

How many rookie Quarterbacks have won the Superbowl?

Jerry would have never lived it down.

Ive read alot of posts from posters that seem ridiculous from the ones cheering Dak's injuries also...its all ridiculous and frankly its because of all the pettyness over "who is better" again Romo and Dak suffer from the same problem right now...Hopefully MM can change that for Dak unfortunatley Romo ended with Jerry's frankenstien and that is a shame...

No he didn’t. Jerry loved Romo. He never would’ve benched him. Not in a million years.

Exactly . . . especially not Houston

Lol. I like Dak and Romo, but dang man.... totally one-sided bias against Dak here.

Romo's best year was the Demarco Murray year... in 2014 Murray had 1845 yards. More attempts, more yardage, more receiving yards, and receptions than Zeke. Even if he had more fumbles and less rushing TDs, he had arguably a better year than Zeke in 2016. So you can't use the Zeke thing to diminish Dak. Not to say that he's one atrocious year away from being cut.

Romo played under some bad offensive lines, but the famous Martin-Smith-Free-Frederick line was only dominant for 3 years (2014-2016). In 2017, Tyron Smith misses 2 crucial games. If he played, we could've went 11-5 and that's a much better year than what it seemed like in those 2 games. He comes back from injury, and Dak plays much better and ends the year 4-1. In 2018, O-line gives up 56 sacks, so it's clearly in decline by then. Not to mention Frederick was out the whole year.

And, as long as Garrett is here - neither would've had consistent success. As playcaller, head coach, whatever, fact is he affected the team in some way or another. Not sure how you can say he was just a walk around head coach starting from 2014 tho. Why keep a walk around head coach for 6 more years?

Wait what exactly is your argument here?

1. Not sure how 2014 disputes anything if what I stated, considering that was the first year Garrett was completely banished from the offense.

2. Facts are even Jerry called Jason a HC with an ambiguous role in 2014 and JG wouldn’t in any way be touching the offense. As far as what exactly what his role was, it’s pretty obvious. He was tied to Jerry Jones through his father and was “the Chosen One”. Jerry game this man an incredible leash and gave him every chance to succeed and wasted Romo’s career for him. 2014 and 2016 convinced Jerry he could keep Garrett as a HC, while letting the coordinators do the heavy lifting.

Facts are Dak DID HAVE consistent success with Garrett as a walk-around HC.

I mean what exactly are you trying to argue here? Facts are Garrett hadn’t touched the offense since 2014 and he’s doing the same nonsense in NY with the Giants as a play caller here. He fields a garbage RG, even with Barkley, to the point it was rumored the HC took over the RG. His offense in NY is already being declared simple and predictable without little use of pre-snap motion and everybody in NY considers him sucking. He’s also being criticized for low play-action usage, of which this offense is top 3 in usage ever since Dak was QB and Linehan tailored the offense for him.

2. Are you seriously going to tell me that Dak having an all-pro line and Zeke running behind it had no bearing on this teams success? What exactly happened when Zeke was suspended for 6 games? Like what exactly are you trying to argue here, when you point out how Dak looked like trash when Smith went out or when Frederick was gone? Of course Dak got sacked 56 times when his OL was mediocre and he didn’t have Cooper in man coverage burning a bunch of DBs. That’s exactly the point. Even if we were the assume that line was only all-pro his first three years, which is bogus, that’s exactly the point. We wasted the best three years of this OL to train this mediocre QB to basically throw go routes to WRs that can best dudes on man coverage.

In 2018, Dan still was awful in zone coverage, which is what Romo faced consistently through his career, because Garrett couldn’t field a RG to save his life, as he’s showing with the Giants.

Like what’s your point here. Zeke was drafted for Romo and Dak ended up getting the fruits. Not sure what exactly you’ve proven here…

I don’t get why this is so hard for people to comprehend. Romo’s body was finished.

Again if you watched that relationship and you could not see how much Jerry loved Romo...I can not help you...it's not a secret it is literally written all over the place in black and white....If Romo being forced out by Jerry helps you deal with it better than what actually happened then by all means hold on to that.

 

[Swagger]

Ive been around for a very long time both here and at the ranch. I don't remember anyone saying they were glad Romo got hurt. They may have been glad that dak got the opportunity and took full advantage of it theres a difference. But if you can show me when someone said it ill gladly eat my words

A poster inferred the above by what they wrote. If you can't see it then no worries, perhaps you should go to specsavers. They were glad Romo got hurt so the limited one got his chance.

Loved like a son to the point some of our lesser intelligent fans thought he was his son lol.

I agree with you until Jerry bottled putting Romo back in.

Anyone with even half a brain would play an All Pro QB over a rookie QB.

No he didn’t. Jerry loved Romo. He never would’ve benched him. Not in a million years.

Jerry says He loves everybody . . . Jerry says a lot of things . . . but Jerry was planning on the next 10 years of His baby The Dallas Cowboys and Jerry dumped Romo for Dak and then demanded everyone tow the company line

Jerry got Lost in the sauce . . . He drank the Kool Aid

No man he could still be playing today. in fact he can come out of the booth and rip of his superman jersey and lead us today to a SB.
