SINCE WE'RE FANS WE CAN DO THIS, WE DON'T HAVE TO "WAIT AND SEE". SO DON'T GIVE ME A WAIT AND SEE. I'm looking for prognostications!
So step out on the ledge and make your call.

A) Leads us on a magical Brady/Montana like run to this years SUPERBOWL and is our starting perennial probowl QB for many years.

B) Plays out the year real well, cements the job. Playoff appearence, no Superbowl.

C) Mixed results. No clear indication if he should be our starter next year. No playoffs.

D) Mediocre at best. Clearly not the answer for us at QB.


I'm going with A! Sincerely believe we see at least B.

Gary Hogeboom. :)

Ok, ok. Bad joke. Leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

I think we have a better team than who we surrounded Hogeboom with back in 1984.

I'm not totally sold on Romo yet ... let's give him the remainder of the year to audition. But the Panthers game was a good start ...

I would be extremely happy with B. Choice A is too much of a stretch at this point with the rest of the talent in a league. If we simply make the playoffs I'll be thrilled. Give him another year or 2 in this league and we're looking at a real star.

We are fans but not stupid, there is not enough information to know what Romo will be. He had a great game now we will see if he can put back to back games together. Making any definite statement at this point is like putting the cart before the horse. You may not like it but all we can do is wait and see what he does over the course of the remaining 9 games.

For this year I say a B. For the future.....

Sunday October 23rd 2017 Tony Romo is inducted in to the Ring of Honor by Steven Jones.:D

It has to be B.

Remember, this was Romo's FIRST START. It will take several more games for the league to accumulate film on him and for opponents to start discovering his tendencies. Once they do this, Romo will have a "slump". By my calculations that will be just in time for the POs. But there's always next year...

I'll agree with those who are saying let him play out the season first, I'd temper my excitement until then, although it's hard after the way he lead the team in a hostile game against the Panthers...

I'll say B, because we are supposed to step out on a limb for this. Because I am not sold that our Defense is as good as it was claimed to be..yet.

However the realistic answer is C...and isn't that a "wait and see" anser in itself?

No wait and see is any of the above choices. I'm not going to put the guy in the hall but I'm not going to short change what he may do this season either. I just think it is kind of silly after 1 start to make claims one way or the other

This is a very very very good answer. I appreciate it and all the others.
But it's not the right answer. I was hoping to get some of you guys to GUESS!
This is just my way to gage the board. See if you guys are seeing what I'm seeing. Of course we have to see more to be sure, I just want to know what you think now based on what we have seen.

I'm his biggest supporter, and I'm not sold yet. Ceratinly have to see more of what I have seen to be sure.

B

I don't know if we will make the playoffs or not but I do believe that Romo will play well enough to prove he should be the returning starter next year. It is conceivable that he could play well and we could still miss the playoffs.

Chicago will likely win the North, either Atlanta or NO could win the South (the loser could be a wild card), Seattle or St. Louis could win the West (the loser could be the other Wild Card). That would mean that if the Giants won the East, we could end up not making the playoffs with a 10 win season.

If this team won 10 games, I'd have to belive that this would mean Romo has played well. Hopefully, we will make the playoffs and this post will end up being a bunch of BS.

The team is good. If he limits his mistakes, and the defense steps it up, B is the minimum of what this team can do. That's optimistic, especially considering their spotty performances so far, but it can be done.

Tony Romo wins a record 6 straight Super Bowls leaving playground kids to scratch their heads in confusion at the very mention of Joe Montana and Tom Brady, as far as the youth will be concerned they were dead presidents.
Upon cementing his legacy he retires at the tender age of 32 and is immediately bypassed through the mandatory five year wait for HOF induction. While putting on his tie one day Romo will ingeniously think of the cure for cancer and the world will be rid of this horrible disease. Following in the footsteps of Ronald Reagan, Tony Romo will become an independent celebrity candidate that dubs the name of his party simply "Winners" he wins a fifty state landslide and brings all of America's enemies to their knees with his pure unadulterated moxie. He retires from the White House as one of the most popular men in American history and settles down with his supermodel wife and kids in their Highland Park Estate. One day while in the sky box at Tom Landry Field, the Cowboys are put into dire straights when all three quarterbacks are injured and the NFC Championship is on the line. Bravely the crowd calls for the now 93 year old Romo to take the field and he answers their call by scrambling for the game winning touch down. Afterwards Cowboys owner Stephen Jones III hands the game ball to the former Commander and Chief and proclaims aloud "Thank you Mr.President for once again leading America's Team." That friends is the Texas tale of one Tony Romo.

I am gonna go with A. Even if he makes some mistakes(all QB's do) we have a chance.

Look at Drew... he made SO MANY mistakes in those losses and WE STILL had a chance to win every game. Worst case scenario is Tony acting like Drew and STILL having a chance to win the games.

A... definitely A.....
