Ian Rapoport: Cowboys are starting QB Dak Prescott post-bye vs #Eagles, source said.

[JBS]

10 total TD's 1INT, a 100+ passer rating after week 6 would be darn good season for Tony or almost anyone at this point. So when people say Tony would be doing better right now, I'm not sure I see it.

10TDs after 6 games isn't special at all..but dak has been robbed of a few for sure

But overall, I agree, this offense isn't going to function any better, let alone, way better with Romo at QB

 

[JBS]

Guys, I bought a water gun to shoot eagles fans in the parking lot. I miss

1 point away from 6-0. SO FRUSTRATING.

1 pt away from 5-0-1

 

[Doomsday]

I would announce that Romo is a game time decision, why not make them prepare for both QBs?

 

[hornitosmonster]

I think we all knew this, hopefully this will kill some of the discussion of Dak/Romo talk.

According to Ian,

#Cowboys, smartly, won't make a firm QB call until it's necessary. If Tony Romo isn't ready by Nov. 6 -- and he may not be -- Dak rolls on.

Ian, tell us something we don't know

It ain't broke, don't fix it.

it was broke and now its fixed

I see the possibility, but to speculate whether Romo can be the 2014 version of himself who basically stayed healthy and won the passing title is about the same as speculating whether Dak can maintain his current level of performance.

 

[ConstantReboot]

The meme should be that Romo will be ready for the superbowl and he will come in during mop-up duty for Dak.

 

[Bowdown27]

And that 1 loss had nothing to do with Prescott. He did his job. Bryant and Beasley dropped touchdowns that would have won the game.

I was at that game. It was horrendous.

 

[Toro9]

This just in. If Romo isn't healthy enough to play the Cowboys will start Prescott, not Mark Sanchez, vs. the Eagles.

 

[Gator88]

It ain't broke, don't fix it.

So Dez shouldn't come back against Philly? NE made a mistake bringing back Brady since they were playing very well without him? Put the best players in and the rest will sort out itself.

I very much have a hard time believing that a healthy Romo isn't the better player, and a win where you should have had 3 turnovers against a mediocre Green Bay team playing guys off the street at corner doesn't change my opinion.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

Romo comes back the week of the Brown's game, or he will be week-to-week so Jerry doesn't have to tell him he is not starting.

This is gonna be so awesome.. I can't wait!!

 

[Bleu Star]

Stash, I'm slowly coming around to this perspective, as well

Credit where it is due, you've been campaigning for it from the start, brudda.

I still hate typing those words ("coming around"), but it is what it is. Dak is dazzling.

Glad to see you joining us.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I was just hoping they don't rob us from a Dak vs Wentz matchup.

 

[chagus]

I'm all for the Dak train and IF they are considering Romo, that is not the game to bring him back.

Must see TV - Wentz vs. Dak

Agreed. Wentz vs. Dak is a ratings paradise!

 

[Bleu Star]

Wentz will lose. Just like we smoked Green Bay, Philly will go down. Then there will be more hand wringing here and desperate attempts to understand how Dak is overshadowing any prospects of a Romo return to the starting lineup.

I have never been less worried about a game... Well except perhaps last weekend & Green Bay which went exactly as expected..

Time to unleash Lucky down the field.

And he missed A LOT of passes too. Of course he had something to do with it.

 

[Stash]

He can't catch the passes too.

 

[Tenkamenin]

Did you feel that way about the 2014 team? I feel a bit more confident about this team primarily because of our defense.

 

[Kevinicus]

He can't catch the passes too.

And the receivers can't throw them either.
