This sounds like another idea that just hasn't been thought through. You're giving Dak two more games? So what if he stinks it up against a good pass defense like Tampa Bay's but then does reasonably well against a very average Detroit pass defense? Now we're two weeks closer to the playoffs and still don't have a clear answer about who the QB should be. Now what?

The answer might depend on whether the Cowboys win these games.

I don't care what side of the aisle you fall on, that's just funny. We really are a blessed and spoiled fan base, atm. We just need to get it together come Sunday and honestly it doesn't matter to me who gets us to the SB. Just get us there.

Can we just put Romo in, win a Super Bowl and call it a season? It's almost like fate is granting us one last run with Romo -- we finally have a team that he can take to the SB, he's healthy, and our rookie QB is starting to falter. But knowing the organization, they won't recognize that this is fate intervening and will stubbornly stick to their guns.

Fate is on Romo's side. Fate does not like to be ignored.

I don't know about the fate part but I do think that if Dak falters down the stretch it is possible that Romo will get a shot.

I still don't see the big deal about what JJ said.

Honestly I don't either.

But some get their panties bunched whenever Jerry says anything– Just because it's Jerry.

The answer is already clear.

Kind of mesmerizing!

"You can make it as simple or complex as you want to make it," Garrett said. "It's pretty simple for us: Dak is going to play quarterback as we go forward."

It's annoying that ESPN or other media outlets don't mention this quote or Garrett's quote directly after the game.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

The press goads Jerry all the time. He falls for it but still, he has never said we were going to back to Romo. He said Romo will be a part of the run to a SB, he didn't say on the field, just that he would be contributing which he is on the sideline helping Dak.

The press will not shut up about whether we should go back to Romo or not. It is annoying, they will not shut up. All I get in my inbox or FB TL are stories on whether we should change to Romo.

It is ridiculous

Why does John Schneider of Seattle get credit for being the architect of that team, but Jones is dismissed for his acumen as GM?

Gee....I don't know: Feuding with his head coach right after back to back Super Bowl wins, hiring Barry Switzer who his star QB hated, three years of Dave Campo, Joey Galloway trade, Roy Williams Trade, back-up drafts, etc., etc.

Fate sidelined Romo, brought us to Dak, got us to 11-2. What does Romo have to do with any of this record right now?

JG will not comment on a QB change until he is ready to implement the change. Dak gets another coupla games before this might become a real possibility.

Meh...I don't think so and here's why. If you look at the reality of the situation, we can't necessarily afford him under performing a "coupla" more games. That would mean Tony would have to come in to Philly in the freezing cold with a bad back, after not having played for well over a year. NOT a good scenario at all IMO. I think Dak gets into the 3rd qtr. vs Tampa...MAYBE the whole game and if he lays another egg, TR appears either at the end of the 3rd Qtr/Beginning of 4th qtr. vs. Tampa OR he'll start vs. the Lions the following week. ORDINARILY, Dak should and would have some time to come out of this but there's a helluva lot at stake and it's very possible Tony can light a fire and get our O back on track big time.

The timing may also depend on how the Giants and Seahawks fare the next couple of weeks.
