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

[CowboyFrog]

But who is owner, president and General Manager of the Dallas Cowboys? If Jerry wanted Romo to come in and start then it's done.

Sure and if he wanted to undermine his whole organization he wouldve drafted Johnny M...he didnt because in the end he will not soley make desicions despite his advisary group.

I do agree that they both are on the same path by an organization that's failed them. I am not even that big of a Dak fan he's #4 on my list behind CeeDee,Martin and Cooper. I have listened over the course of many years about the great tony romo and how very little was his fault and he carried the team to 500 all by himself and frankly it's nauseating. And those that wanted him to get that ring and it was denied due to his body breaking down but yet they take their Ire out on Dak because he took Romo's job. So I wont lose a lot of sleep when I throw in a Tony Romo meme because i know how the thread is going to progress. Is it right thing to do ? No probably not

I truly cheered for him on sunday but listening to some of the years of excuses for the guy made it hard to truly appreciate him. Thi picks early on in his career was a bit annoying as well. I wanted jerry to draft a QB long before dak came along

I know and it can get exhausting but dont let them pull you into the sewer man, nothing wrong with holding Romo and Dak to thier part of what is wrong.....

Your point actually makes mine...if Jerry loved Romo so much then why would he be so desperate to replace him...

I think that's checkmate

You do realize Dak is in the tops of Game winning drives since he has been in the league...Again thats not defending him as much as i think people dont realize how similar they are...it really is eerie if you look at them through there first 3 or 4 starting years....people would say "Romo was using garbage stats" its literally the same....fact is they both never give up and can throwthe team back into a game and both have succeeded and failed at bringing the team back alot....again this all says way more about the FO and JG than these 2 QB's..

Thanks...I will have to look into it. At this moment...I am talking about MULTIPLE "game winning drives" in the same game....if that makes sense.

But of course I will check those stats/highlights.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

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

I'll back you up on that. If said....tiny tiny meaningless fraction.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

ok I think he's done that Im sure its been posted before so i don't want to go look. I'm thinking Cleveland last year and Seattle and in 2019 Im sure there is an example or 2. He's only 5 years in and tony had a 10 year career. Im really excited for this season as I think the defense will be middle of road and if the offense remains top 5 then we could make noise.

Its on the defense to make those critical stops and get the offense back on the field. Zeke and Dak needs to have fixed the turnover issues

Yep...like I tiold frog...I'll check it...thanks!

Umm I literally said he got outvoted...his coach, his "GM" Stephen his DPP all said Dak needs to play....I'm missing how that makes your point. Jerry loved Romo and in the end new he would not be starting here so said "he deserves to start in the NFL" so no Jerry did not hold Romo...Romo after advisment from his Dr decided he would take the booth job and Retire from the NFL...he had NFL starting QB options and turned them down because of the injuries......

Makes perfect sense...youll find they are very similar within thier timeline as starters...its in fact eerie. The number of winning vs 8-8ish seasons plus good stats with wierd records down to the TD int ratio...its wierd man ..not exact but similar...speaks of JG to me.

Romo was brittle before that 2016 preseason game injury. He had 2 seasons left, at the most, before the injury. His failure to sign with another team after his days in Dallas ended, are simply more proof that he was done. He brought some good times to the team while here, But it was time for him to hang up his cleats when he did.

We are not playing anything like chess, chess is a game you play with an unwritten end.....we are arguing about history and one of us is insinuating and the other is stating written facts....I'm not sure where you think this ends as this is a movie that we both have already seen the ending to and it is a documentary not a suspense with a hidden clove for the viewer to decipher....

Benching Him looked stupid for choosing a 4th Rd rookie QB over an All Pro that was in the running for MVP just 2 years earler

How smart does Jerry look now signing a Record Contract for a QB with 1 foot and now Has a Baseball injury because He is over compensating.

You make no sense

Where did I make a argument that Jerry was smart? I like how y’all watched Romo for a decade and thought benching him with his injury problems wasn’t the right move. Y’all are selfish. Y’all weren’t going to be happy until Romo broke his back for y’all.

He had to get shot up every game just to make it to the game. He was in pain leading up to game days.

True the guy didnt deserve to play under JG and be crippled...I'm happy he is healthy and doing great, Jerry will put him in the ring of honr before he departs this world, one day hoepfully Romo will feel comfortable in telling the world what a joke JG was...

A lot of what you have written is based on hearsay and assertions. I'm not claiming it to be wrong but in reality we were not privy to what was said and done behind closed doors. E.g. the strong rumours were that Jerry Jones wanted to draft Johnny Manziel. If this was actually true or not - who actually knows for certain. But if he did, then he clearly did not love Tony Romo as much as you have claimed throughout this thread because he wouldn't draft a QB high in the first round to replace him with juice still left in the tank.

What we do know is that Jerry Jones is the owner, president and General Manager of the Dallas Cowboys.

It again, goes without saying that, if he wanted Tony Romo to come back in for the team in 2016 then that would have been done. The last time Jerry had a Head Coach who made his own decisions was Jimmy Johnson and it took him what 25 years to admit his mistake in sacking him. The fact that he rolled with a rookie QB in 2016 was the beginning of the end.

Jerry said "I wanted to draft Johnny Manziel and several of the my advisors out voted me" again I'm not making anything up I'm telling you what the people involved actually said ...you and others are the ones saying they lied and there was a Media and FO plain to "get " Romo....

Romo said I had offers and after talking with my family..I have decided to retire a Dallas Cowboy...again unless he is lying about it why would I think anything diferent....

How did you feel about Romo starting that meaningless game in preseason 2016? Why do you think Jones and McCarthy and the staff are much more reluctant to start Dak in the preseason now than they were Romo who is known more for injuries?

I know some Romo guys hates Dak and wasn't ready for the TR era to end when Dak abruptly ended it.

Do you think it was stupid to start Romo in that game? Maybe if not, he might still be playing now, or at least be playing for 3 more years.

This is a very sneaky post.
1. the thread is titled "...ROMO LOVERS..."
2. then in the quoted portion above the OP states that Dak abruptly ended" the TR era!!!!!
3. of course there is the obligatory mentioning of the hatred of Dak by TR fans for that ending of the TR era by the said Dak (sigh)

There is a whole lot of mentioning of agendas on this board. We all know what most of those mentions mean. The word hate and haters is tossed around like grenades in a fire fight. This post right here was meant to start a brawl. Plain pure and simple.

Of course Americas Cowboy had to add his 0.25 cents.

Until I see Dak trot our three times in the 4th quarter to TRY to win the game ON HIS BACK...with OGLETREE....well sorry if I am going to be cautious.

I like Dak but dayum dude come on...Tony had some shippy players. Even my BOY Miles couldn't do anything in ...cleveland?

Look..I like Dak. Mkay. If we imp0rove the rest of the team we win. But Dak walked into a team built for Romo. He did a fine job...but not many first year QB's get that. They usually go to shippy teams...like Joe Burrow.

So I do support Dak but///ya know...we birtch and moan about how we invested in offense so much...then act like Dak saved us. I know. I am being melodramatic. But id you don't get my drift...then we probably shouldn't talk anymore about it.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

He had to get shot up every game just to make it to the game. He was in pain leading up to game days.

And when the Cowboys organization FINALLY...gave him a full healing period...they forked him over.

For what? Some sort of superstition? "oh we better not mess with lady luck". That isn't how you run a business let alone an NFL team.

You guys continuously BASH Jerry, for EVERYTHING ...then act like his decision to keep Dak when Romo was healthy was the best thing EVER. How convenient for your Romo hate agenda.

Tony showed his prowess and adeptness in his last drive as a Cowboy and NFL player. The main difference is his team finally gave him a chance to FULLY heal. Then put him in the trash.

It is my...OPINION...a real veteran QB would have taken us farther in the player than a 4th round rookie. Regardless of luck and superstition.

You have your right to disagree and be a follower of Jerry's decisions.

I said it makes sense i wasn't being sarcastic. You can hold the QB of your team to whatever metric you like that is your right as a fan for sure.
