If I Could Write the Ending to Tony Romo's Career

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Thing about sport it is not scripted it is real as can be with a lot of brutal truths. I think that is why I like it, people in the media or fans can spin things as they wish but it all comes down to what happens on the field and when it is over it is over all the what ifs and buts mean nothing. The ending of a players career is not always the way we want to be. I can recall wanting nothing more than to see Danny White lead the Cowboys to the SB and came with in a play of that happening but SF ended our season. White would later get injured and never be the same, he took a lot of unfair abuse from fans and then was gone. It was not fair but then life and the NFL are not always fair.

I loved Danny and now he is barely remembered by Cowboy fans. Things aren't fair sometimes. He was good enough to win a SB as is Tony.

Why don't we just have Romo come in for the last play of the Super Bowl and have him mic'ed so we can listen to him call the Landry Shift for a kneel down?

Because he wouldn't do it.

I fully agree, Danny was a great QB and had it harder than any QB this team has ever had because he directly followed a Cowboy hero in Roger Staubach. Danny broke many QB records and showed great leadership, he had some great comeback games for the Cowboys but in the end he and this team were unable to achieve the SB and Danny took the blame.

The best thing would be for Dak to lead us to a SB blowout and Tony can come in late in the game. Doubt it will happen. Tony will probably go to another team next year. If he leads that team to a SB and doesn't play us then I will root for him as I did for Ware last year. No matter, Tony will always be a Cowboy. Wanting to move on, liking what I see in Dak and thinking Tony can't survive many games doesn't mean I don't like him. He's always been class. I just don't get wanting Dak to get hurt or benched in order to give Tony one last chance.

I remember him. He took the Cowboys to 3 straight NFC championship games in the waning years of the 70s dynasty.

How he could be treated so unfairly as a Cowboys legend is a testament to just how debauched human beings are.

Very, very disappointing.

If Dak wins 2 playoff games this year.. will the Romo pity party end?

I stood by him even when he was benched for Hogeboom. I think that was one of Landry's worse decisions. I think he gave in to fan pressure. Danny was blamed for those 3 championship losses. I can imagine what it would have been like if the internet was around then.

 

[Animosity]

The more realistic ending would be Romo comes in for an injured Dak, and throws a season ending INT, ending Romos career for what he is known best for.. choke choke.

We win the Super Bowl this year.

We trade Romo for a first round pick in the offseason.

We all live happily ever after

 

[WoodysGirl]

I got a soft spot for Romo, too, but I ain't wishing injury on Dak in no form or fashion. That's crazy talk.

Jones and Romo kinda remind me of Lehey and Randy

I'm not going to be disrespectful to the Romo crowd because I was apart of the Danny White crowd. The one thing I had to learn was that football owes us nothing. It owes no player one thing. If you want something, you have so much time to go and get it.

If it takes too much time, you either lose it, become injury prone, or moved for the younger player. Over the years, some of the best Quarterback's have literally lost their jobs to younger talent. Look at Montana, look at Favre, and others throughout history.

All Romo had to do was get to the NFC championship and the Super Bowl. You get no respect if you don't make the trip. That's the life of the NFL. You get paid a lot of money to do a job, if you can't do it, you're out.

I agree to an extent but I still think many guys who did not win rings still have the respect of NFL fans. Fouts and Marino are a couple of examples

If Dak is having another Giants game I do believe he will get pulled for Tony.

Our Pro Bowl rookie QB isn't going to get pulled, especially for a player who hasn't taken a snap during a regular season NFL game in nearly 400 days. That much is obvious. The team will go as far as Dak can lead them, however far that is.

And I agree with the other posters on this thread who find it disturbing that some are fantasizing about Dak suffering a head injury so Romo can get a chance to play. That's just sick.

If you're a once in a generation player, broke NFL records, I could see it.

I remember thinking back when Tony first became our Qb. I was so excited. I remember thinking," We have to take advantage of the moment because nobody knows how many chances you're going to get." As it turned out he didn't have many chances. We should have been more successful with a franchise QB like him. It just makes me sick thinking about it. But it's time to move on now.

This is absurd. I don't desire injury on our toughest rivals, yet some want our own team's starter to get hurt. SMH.

If Dak leads us to the Super Bowl, he deserves to make history as the first rookie to win it. People flippantly saying Dak will win his own rings in subsequent years confuse me. You never know what happens the next season. Look at the Broncos. Look at Dan Marino. What if this were Dak's one shot?

If I could write the end for Tony, he retires after this year getting a ring from the bench, and earns many more coaching for this team.
