If This Is Romo's Final Game As A Cowboy. Going To Be Kinda Sad

[Stryker44]

I hope he lights it up

If he does, he DESERVES his job back. He has to stop bearing the burden - it is unfair and discriminatory.

It's certainly the end of an era, but the next era doesn't look too shabby, so that helps.

I'd rather he retire, as he's taken a beating over the years, but I also don't think I could stand to see him in another team's colors.

If he lights it up against Philadelphia, he will put that kid Dak on the bench where he belongs and lead the Cowboys in the playoffs. Honor. Loyalty. Sacrifice. Book it.

Someone hasn't been paying attention.

 

[SDCowboy]

Great player and person, who at the very least, deserves to be in the RoH someday. Hopefully when he retires, he either coaches or becomes media.

With all that, it's time to move on, and I wish him well wherever he plays next year.

Tony is a good guy but I'm glad the Romo era is coming to an end. I wish him luck on another team. He will certainly need it. He should just retire and enjoy his family.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

I really appreciate the sentiment of this thread but I have a couple of issues. First, if you bleed silver and blue there's no way you don't have a place in your heart for Romo. He's an exceptional qb and person. With that being said, I really don't appreciate when we coddle and make excuses for grown men and highly paid professionals. To suggest that Romo consistently took would be 3-13 teams to 8-8 is simply an innacurate spin imo. While not all on Romo, those 8-8 teams should have been 10-6 type teams. If we're honest, we've come up small throughout the Romo era repeatedly. Whether it be crippling injuries, or just coming up small in the biggest moments. I can comfortably say this while STILL having love, admiration and respect for Romo. It's a bottom line business and I don't care about excuses or roster conversations. This is more about taking what you have and rising to the occasion when needed. Once again I respect Romo for all that he's done and stood for and he will be missed. I just don't like the excuse making.

Tha ****? Are we really here again? Some have a legitimate fear that it's too risky to even play Romo in a limited role based on potential injury. Give Dak some respect.

Look at the numbers dude. People like Romo are constantly discriminated against in the NFL. Look at the player demographics. Despite the vastly superior experience and loyalty to their team. If he lights it up and proves he is the man, he needs to put the boy back on the bench and the kid needs to show respect and tell the team Romo is more deserving.

Oh good grief. Cheesy junk like this is why I can't wait for Tony to move on. As great as he's been for this team.

Playing a couple of series in a meaningless game doesn't prove anything. Dak has earned the right to be the starter. 13-2 is all that matters. The team means more than any one player.

And it's hard. You want to be respectful of Tony but it's hard when you have the get rid of Dak crowd all over the place.

John Elway. Treated with Honor, Loyalty, Respect. Allowed to finish as an old man.

Peyton Manning. Treated With Honor, Loyalty, Respect (Although John Elway betrayed Tim Tebow by lying to his face about being the starting QB the next year after leading them to the playoffs, you cannot argue against Manning's experience advantage). Allowed to finish and get the Lombardi as an old man.

Yep. The vocal minority who can't seem to move on are likely going to ruin what should a nice sendoff.

How was Manning treated with respect in Indy? They cut him.

 

[rynochop]

Wish him the best but I'm over it. Excited to see my TEAM in the playoffs, the names on the back of the jersey don't matter to me as long as someone capable is getting the job done. Dak could be replaced by another 4th round pick next year for all I care, as long as that player keeps the team winning.

Some people root for the players and the Laundry

Well he had to miss a season with the neck injury and it wasn't clear whether he'd be able to regain his true form. Is Prescott was undisputably better in training camp and preseason, he would have been named starter prior to the injury in preseason.

Well Tony has only played 4 games in 2 years and got hurt in 2 of them. He couldn't even last a few snaps in an exhibition game. Nobody knows what he's going to look like in a meaningful game.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

Is he not dressing for the postseason? Relax people. Tomorrow is not a ****in funeral.

I know, that's why I said if he lights it up and isn't allowed to lead the team that the rampant ageism and racism will still dominate the league interminably.
