It was PRESEASON. Thats what coaches do these games to evaluate players. You want to get worked about schemes talk to me again after the Giants game.
I can talk to you about all last season if you'd like it's his Mo preseason or not.

And you don't have to stop passing he had a great mix on daks first drive

Good writeup LatinMind, I agree with all of it.

I have zero concerns with the offense outside of Romo's fragility.

The defense seems to be a mess and is scaring me at all levels:
  • 4-3 Defense Line that has very little pass rush
  • Small'ish and relatively untalented LBs with the exception of Lee
  • DBs who just never seem to make a play on the ball.
so agree with his thoughts that Romo should retire now and Dallas should push him out?

I would be happy if Romo has a great year, and Dak sits a year (or two)...
but I'm not confident that will be the case. I have a great concern for Romo after the back injury, & two collarbone injuries... others aren't concerned.. and thats fine..opinions...The facts will be revealed during the games.

I hope 9 can stay healthy... if he can't I'm more confident in our future at QB then I have been the last few years.
That's logical

I think I'm about done with Linehan. Obviously he was told to run Zeke a lot, and we were punishing the Seahawks they were on their heels frustrated to the point of committing stupid penalties. Once Zeke is out it's time to go pass happy.

I can't tell you how many times last year we would come out running getting five six yards a clip and this clown with no viable quarterback what start passing. The guy could possibly give Romo a chance to play this season if he just run the ball down people's throats. Sadly that's not his style and if he can't use this offense the way it's built to be used he needs to step aside and let somebody else to do it.

MY sincere genuine thoughts are that Romo should just retire. The Cowboys should push for it too. The guy just cant take the hits anymore. His presence just takes away from Daks growth.Its time to move on.

Dak is ready to be the everyday starter if you ask me. The guy played Wilson to a tie at the half. And probably shouldve had more points but TW missed that catch. This guy is the best QB of this draft and its not even close. While the other guys are considered projects and drafted in rd 1. Dak is already able to lead a team full of stars on offense. Just hand him the keys and let Romo walk away with his millions and with the ability to still walk.

Zeke is a animal. He is going to tear the nfl up. I think Dallas should actually trade Morris and try to get some help on the DL. Morris has showed he can run. There alot of teams that he could start for. Doubt that happens tho. The 2 headed monster are going to run all over the nfl.

This OL is just awsome.

Jack Crawford isnt great, but he is disruptive. Even if he doesnt make the play he influences where the ball goes because he just never stops going.

This LBer group needs Jaylon Smith to come thru. They are small and are going to get wore out if teams pound them with the run.

This secondary is physical. And the guy leading the way with that style is Claiborne, he had a up and down gme but he is setting the tone for them. The more he plays the more i think he gets better.

Wilcox is the worst player in the nfl.
If I remove the first two paragraphs, you have some excellent points and an overall good take. But just stop with Romo retiring/Dak Starting this year. Seriously. Someone else pointed out the cap ramifications That ALONE makes it an unmitigated disaster. Not to mention that Dak is not actually ready yet, Romo is easily a top 5-8 QB and is fine. This kind of knee-jerk, uninformed line of thinking is not realistic and taints the rest of the post.

The TW effort on the deep pass was bad. The defense looked very poor at times. I hope that missed FG doesnt become a trend.

Could have been more about their rookie sensation QB and putting him in an uncomfortable spot. Instead of typical offense how bout passing, and passing some more so the defense knows its a pass.

its just reality. He isnt going to make it thru the season. Teams just saw this week that he isnt going to be able to take the hits.You gotta be crazy to think teams are going to come after him. I know releasing him right now isnt realistic. But the change is in Dallas. Wether they wait or not he's there. But me i would rather see Dak. Keep Romo hell they paid him but its a good thing that they have the future behind him. Me i just dont see much of a drop off in play from Dak to Romo. I know its preseason but this kid just has that thing that just makes you feel that everything is going to be ok. This kid already has the trust of the vets and thats amazing considering he barely started getting 1 snas on romos days off and after Moore went down.

Dude he took a shot at a weird angle and had some pain. He would have been out maybe one series in a real game. Nothing happened last night that merits your reaction.

last time i check the thread was called MY thoughts.

And its just not 1 games. in the last 24 games its been 1 broken back 2 broken collar bones and yesterdays hit. The human body can take only so much. But ill say this Romo could avoid alot of hits if he just threw the ball away and came back on the next play, period.

Not reality. One of the things that bug me is when people insist something that is possible,is a fact. Even if the odds are less than 50% that Romo will complete the season, that's not a fact. Fine if you want to call it a valid concern or even probable. But seeing things in black and white is just not paying attention to the shades of grey. It's a shallow view.

Teams just saw this week that he isnt going to be able to take the hits. You gotta be crazy to think teams are going to come after him.
You gotta be crazy to think that other teams wouldn't be going after him anyway, just like hey have his entire career. This changes nothing. I'm sure we all felt the same "oh no not again" felling when Romo was down, but it's not a lingering issue. Also the growth on his collarbone that made it more susceptible has been removed, so that's not an issue anymore.

I know releasing him right now isnt realistic. But the change is in Dallas. Wether they wait or not he's there. But me i would rather see Dak.
What you've seen is a very promising rookie against defenses that are not game planning for him or playing to win the game (They are playing to test their own players in certain situations). You can throw him in now and burn him out, then end up with another RG3, Alex Smith or Kapernick, or you can do what we are lucky enough to have the opportunity to do. Let him sit, let him learn, and let him develop into what could be a true elite QB.

Keep Romo hell they paid him
Salary cap. Dead money. Fottball isa business. You pay a guy what he deserves, then you play him. This might me a little mean, and if so I apologize, but you sound like a guy who's dog is sick and just decide to put him to sleep and buy a puppy. Rather than care for you dog.

...but its a good thing that they have the future behind him.
Right. It's great. He looks likethe future, but ya don't need to sit an elite QB just to play with a shiny new toy. Patience and Dak will be even better.

Me i just dont see much of a drop off in play from Dak to Romo. I know its preseason but this kid just has that thing that just makes you feel that everything is going to be ok.
This just tells me that you simply don't have a real grasp of what preseason football is. It's far more different than you think if you believe that you can actually make a comparison after this amount of time.
This kid already has the trust of the vets and thats amazing considering he barely started getting 1 snas on romos days off and after Moore went down.
The overall mental side to Dak's game has been very impressive. His poise and other intangibles are very encouraging, but with such a tiny sample size against teams that are not playing against him is simply an inaccurate gauge. The camaraderie with the vets is also a great sign and I feel that he should now be the back-up. Moore's injury was a blessing that let us see that. I don't think we need to go out a find a vet anymore and that's a big deal.

But jumping the gun with a knee jerk reaction based on a few glorified scrimmages is not taking the whole picture into account. Let Dak be our future in 2018, not 2016.
