News: Jerry: "I told Jason that [Romo] would be back in."

[big dog cowboy]

Jason Garrett is changing the culture around here though.

He actually has.

Jerry used to spy on Troy in the shower. Purely professional of course.

Well I'd spy on Troy in the shower too but I am female.

Shame on you. Lol!

For the record, I actually agree with putting Romo back in, assuming he was healthy. I'm not arguing with that, but it should be the coach's decision. Not Dr. Jerry's.

Much ado over nothing. Jerry is and always has been a hands-on owner. It absolutely does not surprise me at all that he was concerned about the health of his starting QB and furthermore I am not in the least shocked that as soon as he had info he took it to Garrett. In my mind, making sure the Head Coach knows the prognosis as quickly as possible is good leadership. But that's just my opinion. I honestly cannot for the life of me figure out how any of Jerry's actions last night in any way are deserving of a pitch fork blog mob.

It's mind boggling. I don't think anybody would argue that Tony is far superior to Weeden when all things are equal but the fact of that matter is that Tony scored 7 points as QB and Weeden scored 10 in a pinch hitting role.

I thought it was a mistake to put Tony back in last night and I think it was a mistake to do it this morning. I've heard all the pundits say that if he was healthy, he should be playing but I don't see any way that you could look at Tony last night and come away thinking he was healthy. He struggled to drive the ball more then 20 yards downfield.

IMO, we should have gone with Weeden and saved Tony to fight another day. It's done now.

This I agree with. The game, in my mind, wasn't exactly critical and was not worth further risking Romo to more injury.

I agree Jerry went to the sideline when Dallas was winning SB and had no effect and still has no effect. Those who have worked and played for Jerry sure do have a different view of Jerry than those who never have.

Awaiting the results of the MRI is torture !

It was obvious from the post-game press conference with Garrett that he probably didn't whol heartedly agree with the decision.

A reporter asked him about putting Romo back in and it sounded like Garrett dodged directly answering the question and instead stood there and said Weeden was doing a good job at that point and other bits of praise (of Weeden). It was a bit odd.

Maybe I misheard it all or read something into what he said that wasn't there...anybody else see/notice it?

Broaddus and Mickey are laughing at you guys.

Why?

 

[JoeKing]

Coach Jones strikes again. Garrett probable felt he had no choice but to reinsert Romo after his bosses comment. I have no doubt Weeden would have won that game. Hell, Johnny Footbal would have won that game. Why isn't that guy around here? Screw you Jerry Jones.

 

[tyke1doe]

Let's say...they had rode w/ Weeden. And he won.

Then your opening yourself up to a QB controversy. It's a no win situation really. I think @ least that thought crossed some peoples minds last night. Wouldn't want to open that can of worms.

Why is that a QB controversy? No one in his/her right mind would pick Weeden over Romo over the course of this season. Notice I said right mind.

 

[jday]

I think most have this misconstrued. Jerry told him he'll be back for the game. Not that jerry said hes going in.

Your wasting your time. Unfortunately, especially in the shadow of a loss like that, people will believe what they want to believe and they will blame who they want to blame and no amount of logical reasons or presentation of actual facts will sway their minds. The good news is all the Cowboys have to do is win to make these anti-Jerry/Garrett/Romo posters go away or at the very least hibernate until the next disappointing loss - then they will be back with more nonsensical conspiracy theories and ideas to put up a billboard advertisement asking Jerry the GM to resign.

Please tell me your joking.

True, Had Weeden stayed in I would not have had an issue with it but also did not have an issue with Garrett putting Tony back in. No one seemed to have an issue when Romo came back late in the game vs 9ers or playing through pain vs skins last season. Romo had been in that situation before and has come through for the team and so when he comes out wanting to go back in I would have to say I had no issue with Garrett letting him back in. It is that very nature of Romo that has earned him the respect he has from the players on this team.

 

[rynochop]

So does anyone think, if healthy, Garrett wouldn't be for Romo getting back in there?

RELAX armchair GM's.

 

[jday]

Normally this one is post deletion bait. But this is funny.

Could you at least rename this thread: "FacePalm Buffet?"

 

[tyke1doe]

Boy, one loss and it's Armageddon up in here.

Jerry needs to stay in the booth. With all of the money that he spent on Romo you would think that Jerry wouldn't be suggesting putting a injured Romo back into a game where he is getting hit all night long.

I'm trying to figure this out. Is it a reading comprehension issue or are you simply assuming that everyone who had anything to do with that situation last night is lying? Jerry passed the prognosis from the doctor to Jason. That's it. He didn't demand Jason put Romo back in. He didn't suggest it. He simply passed the message. Now, unless you can prove beyond a shadow of doubt that he, Jason and everyone else involved is lying, so be it. Otherwise, why put it out there like your version of the story is the truth? For me, this type of posting is actually worse than the Cowboys losing last night.

Yeah, someone said last night that Romo was being selfish. I didn't understand that at all. Of course, Romo was being selfish. If you're a player and you have the confidence to think you can win the game, I would expect you to want to get back in the game. I would think less of Romo if he didn't. It reminds me of what Michael Irvin said. Some guys, they don't want the ball in crunch time. They're too scared to make a mistake or shrink in the limelight. I think we assume that players who play in the NFL all want to be winners and all have that killer instinct, but they don't. Some are in the NFL because they have the talent to be there. Some want the money. Some are JAGs. And then some burn to make the plays. They want to be in the game at the crucial moment when you have to make a play and millions of eyes are watching you.
If Romo is that kind of guy, he doesn't just sit out of the game because fans think he's being too selfish. The coach, however? That's another matter. It's the coaches job to say, "You're done" if the coach feels the player shouldn't go back in. That's Garrett's job, not Romo's. It is the COACH who should protect the player from himself, not the player who burns to win but may be to subjective and competitive to realize he should sit out.

I understand your point. We can't prove Jerry Jones said put Romo back in. But let's be real. If your boss says, "The doctor says nothing's wrong with Romo, and he can play" are you NOT going to think there's a suggestion in that statement, especially when this isn't the normal way such information is passed on to coaches during a game?

Speaking for myself, if my boss said that and took his precious time to relay that information to me, I'm reading something into it. And I think many people would also.
