Jerry wants his Romo

[DandyDon52]

If they are prime time, maybe. I won't be flipping from Dallas games or watching them over any NFC East game.

I know Denver gained a lot of popularity with Peyton but Tony Romo is not Peyton Manning, fans aren't going to follow him.

All romo fans will watch him in houston, if he plays good, they will keep watching, but if he plays bad it will trail off.

I didnt care about peyton, but would follow romo in his first year on another team.
I watched about 10 titan games last year just to see how murray did.

During my lifetime, I've wondered what would cause humanity's ultimate destruction.

Nuclear holocaust.

Climatic cataclysm.

Zombies. Or Negan. I can never decide between those two.

But it may be safe to say that social media will bring about the apocalypse. Or Romo. Dang. Another paradox...

Climatic cataclysm...... and it is only about 20 years away maybe less 10-15 years.

I would be watching the houston games, and so would many others that didnt last year.

Yep..those Houston/Jacksonville noon battles will be a little more compelling

As a side note, Romo going to the Texans would be sorta like Eli coming to the Cowboys as far as the fan base goes. Texan fans hate runs deep

You are in the minority.

Houston is rarely a national game. They'd be a regular national game with Romo with huge viewership.

Thats a good point, it just depends on if they hated to play romo , or hated him as a person.
I think many here hate eli period, but if rodgers came here they would accept and love him.

I watched 1 houston game last year, and knew OS wasnt going to cut it, then I watched their playoff game kinda ho hum.
But tony might make them a lot more fun to watch.
A win streak would work wonders to win the Texan fans over.

Summary of this entire post: Jerry Jones wants to keep attention on his own team.

I usually enjoy hearing your thoughts, but man, this was an over-dramatized letdown of a read.

But I guess it is the offseason, and tangible football-related topics are hard to come by -- so carry on.

I am a Romo fan and I won't watch go out of my way to watch Romo after the first week or two no matter what team he is on.

So "all Romo fans" will not. I am sure I'm not the only one that doesn't care enough about a particular player to watch him over games relevant to my own team.

 

[StarBoyz83]

It would be nice to have romo In case something happens. But with the defense I don't think it really matters who the backup is this year honestly.

No non Cowboy games get "huge viewership". The national televised games will probably be announced before Romo even leaves Dallas.

I'm sure they will see an uptick but nothing significant. Cowboy fans aren't fair weather fans likes Colt fans were when they followed Peyton to Denver.

Just to let you know what's going on at the Star, Broaddus said this morning that over the next 3 weeks a final decision will be made on Romo.
Stephen will have conversations at the owner's meeting next week with both Houston & Denver that's a given. They will know then if any interest
is switching places somewhere in the draft is viable. Broaddus says that a decision will definitely be made before the off-season workouts at the Star begin. There is no way they are going to want Romo coming in to lift weights and trying to pump 400 pounds with the risk that he gets hurt and you have to pay that 14mil salary. Just no way that happens, so keep looking for the solution to drop before the 3rd week of April.

If Tony is in Houston, by the end of next year, I will have attended more Texans' games in my lifetime than Cowboys.

And Im Dallas biggest fan.

yup, the entire AFC would watch every "Patriots challenger" game.

I agree, once Romo is gone he's gone, just like with Dware and Emmitt etc. he is no longer a Cowboy, so I will have no interest in going out of my way to watch him.

 

[Verdict]

I am not saying there is some grain of truth to the original post of this thread, but I think this is a bit down the list of Jerry's concerns. Jerry's biggest risk, in my opinion is that Romo might go somewhere and win a ring and Dak may regress. If that happens Jerry would have given up his franchise QB (the rarest of NFL unicorns) for some magic beans. He would be the laughing stock of the NFL. That's a real possibility. That gets magnified if Jerry gives away Romo for nothing.

While I really think Romo is worth a king's ransom in picks, but even if I am wrong about that if I were Jerry would not give Romo away for nothing. Jerry has way too much to lose (so does the team). There is no hurry on the part of the Cowboys so why rush to make a bad decision? If Houston wants Romo, make them pay handsomely, or make them go without.

I don't understand why you guys think $14 million dollars is lot for a franchise QB. It just isn't. You could apply the same rationale to every player on the roster. Why play any of them? They might get hurt.

 

[JoeKing]

Sounds like you are reading things into the conversation between Romo and his child.

If it was a passive-aggressive shot at Jones, then Romo is pretty weak to use that platform to do it.

You are correct, Romo is weak!

 

[tyke1doe]

Romo will be a Houston Texas or Denver Bronco during the draft. The Cowboys and Texans (or Broncos) are going to swap picks somewhere during the draft.
That seems like the most logical, sensible and doable deal for Romo.
It'll be a win-win for the Cowboys and the team to whom he's dealt.
I'm almost 95 percent certain this will happen.
