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

[NotForLong]

Bruh u way too emotionally invested in an above average QB that would have rather been a pro golfer than QB

Bruh u way too emotionally invested in an average QB

I am emotionally invested in The Cowboys . . . I waited a long time for that team to be built and just as it all came together they wanted to Supress their best QB for no logical reason.

Non what so ever . . . except they were gonna role with Dak as the Future of the Franchise and they didn't want to "Impede" his "Progress" or Hurt His feelings by sending the Rookie back to the bench.

That decision was all Bout Dak and not the benefit of the team.

So now 5 years later He is literally falling apart and this team has been worse then mediocre . . . Cant beat good teams and bully the bottom feeders.

And now you talking out the other side of your mouth . . dont let 2014 and Dak comparisons come out your mouth again . . . you look down right foolish

Like you lost your damn mind

Romo was Hurt in the beginning of the year . . . and then because the Cowboys kept winning and Dak was holding down the fort they Let Romo take his time to heal. . . then when Romo was fully Healed Management decided to deny Romo an open competition . . .

And instead of selfishly going public over Jerry's idiotic decision Romo took it like a Man

So it is you who believe the Company storyline . . . it is you who believe that lie . . .

Because Playing Romo was the only logical choice and because you supported Dak . . . the dumbest decision in the last 5 years in the NFL . . . that Now you have to hang your hat on that lie . . .

So many "Cowboy" Fans pushed that lie and continue to to this day.

Otherwise WHY WOULD YOU CHOOSE A LIMITED ROOKIE OVER ROMO?

Listen I believe Romo was SUPER COMPETITIVE and unless told by a Dr he could and would've went to another team and truly tried to stick it to JG and Jerry.....They stayed with the team makeup that had won 13 games...whether or not things would have changed with Romo in Playoffs we will never know and you can only offer an opinion on. Again nothing about Romo says he would have retired unless told to do so by a Dr and his family was probably like "it aint worth the bad that can happen"....Again anything else said on this is just trying to rewrite what actually happened....why would he retire, when healthy he was a top QB in a league desperate for QB's......again that makes no sense.

Romo didnt even try to go to another team he retired before the season was even over. Dak has a football field behind his house romo had a golf course.

Romo loved the game of football. He loved the Cowboys. He played hurt more than any player I know of.

Lol No he didnt, he barely ever practiced in the offseason. He was working on his golf swing.

Good argument. Prove me wrong. Garrett babysat him every TC he never played in preseason and always had vet days off to nurse his boo boos.

 

[CowboyFrog]

Romo played a game with broken Ribs the dude was a warrior...so is Dak he literally was trying to bang his ankle back in when it broke...again, the only reason why anyone would use one to down the other is soley doing it because they are responding to this board and its need to start ridiculous comparison between 2 lottery ticket QB's this FO did and still is wasting...They are both warriors both good and god willing both had the same problem JG and JWB gm...lets hope moving one out can fix it. We saw the same thing with Danny White, just because you loved Roger does not mean you need to hate White..Danny was a warrior and the failures of those teams are no where near Danny's feet (yeah I know him getting step on in the playoffs could be a pun)......

This is all pure speculation that has been repeated ao many times (By Talking Media Heads and Fans of Dak) This is not a fact . . . it wasnt this fairy tale of a Broken QB having to be saved from himself.

The Story was Cowboy Legend Romo is fully recovered and ready to go but . . . Wait. . . . Jerry has a change of plans

That was the story line . . that was the Truth.

As far as Him leaving the NFL . . . Jerry sucked the Heart out of Him

1. Didnt let Him compete His job back in 2016
2. Denied an open competition for 2017
3. Promised to release Tony then didn't
4. Exit plan became available (what's coveted from every retired Player . . . broadcast booth 1# team

Romo never wanted to play for any other team but He did want a Championship . . . He was more then likely gonna choose the Texans and Jerry didnt want that and was gonna hold Romo hostage. . . . rather then being a gentleman

Romo was blessed to have the Broadcast booth offered to Him and without control over His own dystany & rather be a Pawn in JERRYS World . .
He made the only choice.

The rest is History

Jerry and Half of Cowboy Nation broke His Heart when you turned your backs on Him

And its disgusting the way He is Hated by this Fan base today

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Good argument. Prove me wrong. Garrett babysat him every TC he never played in preseason and always had vet days off to nurse his boo boos.

There's nothing to prove. His results and commitment speaks for itself. Impressive for undrafted and crappy dysfunctional team.

You have your hard-headed mind made up like a block of cement.

 

[Cowboy4ever]

I have no problem with it. Players play.. injuries are apart of the game, how many players are lost every year to no contact injuries in practice.. should they not be allowed to practice either. I really think it is a big mistake not playing Prescott in Preseason, he is coming off a major injury for the first time in his football career from what I can tell and he needs to get some real work in with bodies moving around his legs.

But in general, I think all players should play in pre season games or at least have some real contact at practice if they are not going to play them in the games.

No its a fact he retired...and its a fact many others teams would have signed him without hesitation....HE CHOSE TO RETIRE...so there are only 2 options

A. he said "I would only ever play for the Cowboys" would be wierd since he is a GB fan ....or
B. his DR said man the next one can put you in a wheelchair to which he made the right call for him and his family and moved on.....

So again you can keep saying there was this big conspiracy in the media...Why would there be? or you can go by what actually happened which is retired because his Dr said he should....

You are a big Romo fan so am I...so again I hate it ended for him like that because he desevred better than JG for sure..

Agreed all around. If it were a lazy defense we face....I could better understand. But super bowl champ defense.

I'd rather see him get a few first snaps with a scrub preseason game.

Ive said it many times....For us the Fans yes would love to see him in PreSeason game to ease my mind...in reality the coaches see him throw 50+ times a practice...3 to 5 pre season game passes are not going to determine what week1 or any week does. If he was a Rookie in a new offense ...more need for all the reps..

Jerry would not release His Rights. . . . so He wasn't able to "Sign" with anyone. . . I have pointed this out twice over 2 posts already.

This was one of the reasons that he chose to move on to the Booth . . . in Fact they saw it as an opportunity to once on Romo and make him an offer He could not refuse.

Romo wanted to play in 2016 . . . Romo wanted to play in 2017 for the Cowboys . . . and then when Denied. . . He wanted to be set free and sign the Texans. . . when denied . . . He took the dream job of ever QB that has ever played football

He as a way to save face after the way Cowboy Nation treated Him

Sad ending to Cowboy Era . . . but He once again came out on top

What you didn't mention is LIMITED practice.

I think it would be good for him to get a couple live action before fing tampa.

 

[starfan1]

I am not . . . its like I always tell everyone I have 2 jerseys I wear . . . a white Written practice jersey and a Blue Dak Jersey. . . . I bought the Dak Jersey his rookie year

I also had my old account banned from the old site because of a Comment I made about Romo. . .

I love to watch Cowboys football and I love to discuss it. . .

Sadly the way Jerry handled the whole Dak situation . . . everything at every moment was the wrong decision and has done nothing but to divide this Fan base. The fan base was divided prior to that

Sadly that's the state of things . . . its all on Jerry . . . from dumping Romo to forcing Dak to be the center piece to half stepping on His contract in 2019 and wrapping him up then to not applying the unrestricted tag as a form of negotiating to having to pay him the Franchise price last year to finally caving and giving a running inaccurate QB with a dangling foot the second highest contract ever

Dak has to Win a championship to Justify the Epic Fail of not playing one of the most talented QBs in the NFL and just letting him waste away on the bench .Romo was top ten Dak is top ten its pretty much a wash in my opinion. . .

because Jerry gambled and risked a Real run at a Championship in 2016 in Hopes of Future "Championships" in years to come the roster as it was constructed in 2016 was for romo but he couldn't stay on field . It was designed to be more balanced because the Romo trying to carry it was an epic fail.Thats not all on him as the team was not complete. But Tony and the team could find ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Thats why 2014 was his best year it was a complete team that relied on run game more than air, except as it did in 2016 the defense failed him.

This will be the year if Dak stays healthy. . . . The only thing that has kept Dak from being elite is His Red Zone passing . . . Lamb solves that I hope so he is my favorite player

No one is stopping Lamb in red Zone . . . think combination Megatron, Moss and Dez all wrapped into one.

Sadly no one knows if Dak's body will hold up Im not worried at all.

ISNT IT IRONIC . . . DONT CHA THINK

 

[starfan1]

Of course.

I just find it interesting. If a person is a Cowboys fan, and a player is a Cowboy....it follows that said fan would be a fan of player.

Especially one that was a TOP player of his time, with many very good players on the list.

I guess I must have that wrong.

On sundays I was, but that dont mean i couldn't critique a top 10 QB. you and i are not going to agree on this so you can quit trying.

I watched Romos career get flushed by this organization who is doing the same thing to dak but neither QB is without fault in it. I watched him make mistake after mistake when it counted I also watched him make plays only to be let down by the defense.
I dont hold Romo in as high regard as you do. This hogwash that he was the only reason they were 500 is just that hogwash he had teammates that helped. Now I will take the the version i got of him in 2014 on but sadly he was a crip by that point.

 

[NotForLong]

Exactly like I continue to say . . . in the last 5 posts

But you Dak Fans never wanna acknowledge the Truth . . . but prefer to spout National Narratives as Truth.

Any Cowboy Fan who continues to claim Romo was replaced because of Health is a Liar. . . He was treated like dirt from Jerry and that Organization and Half the Fan Base

You all continue to lie to yourselves in order to Justify a Limited Rookie over Romo . . . it was Insane but HEALTH was what you thought cemented all your arguments

I just did a quick google search and this was the 1st link

Romo didnt even try to go to another team he retired before the season was even over. Dak has a football field behind his house romo had a golf course.

From an article in APR 2017
https://www.___GET_REAL_URL___/s/ww...-players-with-uncertain-futures-to-watch/amp/

The top offseason storyline by far has been the ongoing saga of Tony Romo, who is still on the roster of the Dallas Cowboys. At the outset of the free agency period it was reported that Romo would be released and be free to choose his new team, but it hasn’t turned out that way. Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones continues to try to derive compensation for parting with Romo, even though there have been no takers so far. It was reported, at one point, that Romo’s options were limited to playing for the Texans or broadcasting at Fox or CBS. But the Broncos have also reportedly been monitoring the situation, perhaps in hopes of signing him after his potential release.

While the Cowboys will try to maintain leverage in the discussions, conventional wisdom suggests that the team will likely cut Romo sometime during the offseason. If they make this move they would save $14 million in cap space for the 2017 season. Romo would be entering his fourth year of the current six-year, $108 million contract that included $55 million in guaranteed money if the quarterback were to be traded and remains in his current deal.

Unless something drastically changes this month, it is safe to say that Romo will likely be playing for the Texans next season, though there’s a chance for the Broncos to get into the mix as well Of course, he could tire of the situation and decide to retire and work for Fox or CBS next year, but that seems unlikely in 2017.

 

[CowboyFrog]

Jerry would not release His Rights. . . . so He wasn't able to "Sign" with anyone. . . I have pointed this out twice over 2 posts already.

This was one of the reasons that he chose to move on to the Booth . . . in Fact they saw it as an opportunity to once on Romo and make him an offer He could not refuse.

Romo wanted to play in 2016 . . . Romo wanted to play in 2017 for the Cowboys . . . and then when Denied. . . He wanted to be set free and sign the Texans. . . when denied . . . He took the dream job of ever QB that has ever played football

He as a way to save face after the way Cowboy Nation treated Him

Sad ending to Cowboy Era . . . but He once again came out on top

Every Article says Jones Released Romo because in Jerry's words "He deserves the chance to be a starter" nothing ever said by Jerry would make anyone think he would hurt Romo....again rewriting history does not make it true.....
