Rocy me and you agree on alot, If Romo was healthy i would've played him, not because of what Dak could or could'nt do but because when healthy Romo did give you more options at that point...I also dont disagree with keeping Dak in as he was doing great also.
Well that was my stance at the time. Initially when it kept becoming a week to week thing with Romo I was right there with putting him back in. But then it got to when? Week 10 when Romo finally got healthy? By that time the decision was already made.

I don't think the decision was one guy. Think the decision to go with Dak was mainly players driven. Dak at that point had the locker room. People can argue against that if they want to but there were arguments to keep Dak in or go with Romo. Won't deny that. But let's also remember that with Dak and Zeke...they were allowed to control the clock which kept the defense off the field. I think ultimately it was the right decision. I also think a lot of fans are assuming Romo would've been healthy enough to not get hurt again.

One of the most frustrating things with the Romo discussion is how his career I looked upon post retirement. I probably was the biggest Romo fan in the country....but something happen between retiring and now with the fans. I got left behind in the dirt because I clearly missed the times where Romo put this team on his back consistently and went to the playoffs. I forgot who said it but Dak and Romo both needed solid teams around them to contend. They both needed solid coaching. Just like most guys do. Anyone wanting to pretend like Romo was just head and shoulders better than Dak isn't remembering his career very well.

And you are WRONG. You can "muster up" whatever you like as well. Tony had some better stats than Rodgers. Sorry your HATE doesn't let you see it. Hater/
If you think Romo was better than Aaron Rodgers than I'm a hater and you're a crackhead. Aaron Rodgers is arguably one of the best quarterbacks of our time.

And like 4-5 first rounders/

What the HELL are you guys going on about?

Dak had zeke...and 3 first round O-linemen. Next year they PROMPTLY got another 1st rounder in coop.

You guys are nuts/
Romo had stacked teams...13 Pro Bowlers in 2007 just to get kicked out in the 1st round.....but let me guess that was all Patrick Crayton's fault...

Romo had the same oline in 2014-2016.
Romo had the franchise leader in rushing yards for a season.
Romo had receivers we traded first round picks for…Williams. Another similarity.

HATER.

"Romo also has 11 fourth quarter comebacks, almost four times more than Aaron Rodgers has led. Romo also has more comeback victories than Michael Vick and he's had a shorter career."

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/915560-dallas-cowboys-busting-the-7-big-myths-about-tony-romo

So because he's had to come back more than Aaron Rodgers has because he usually takes care of his leads that means he's better than Rodgers? OMG lol.

You must be high off a liquid substance tonight.

But you need to stay consistent in your logic.

I am very sorry I pointed out your hypocrisy. I know you hate that!
You have no idea if I'm consistent or not because you're accusing me of saying things I haven't said lol. You are lost in this discussion. Go take a nap and come back because you're bugging.....

What do you mean for one season? He got hurt in the other 2. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t what was available to him. He wasn’t playing being second string lines when he got hurt. And his 2013 line wasn’t chopped liver. Also Dak hasn’t had all those great lineman every year. Fred Beard missed and then retired, as an example. Smith has also been playing hurt.
