Poll: Will Tony Romo play in the NFL this season?

[Reality]

I thought it would be good to do this poll now and again at some point in the future, maybe even more times.

I could easily add in various poll options such as when he would play, which team, etc., but that would just cloud the vote and research shows that when voting in polls with softer or more moderate options, people will tend to go with one of those options to avoid committing to the more definitive options. As such, I am keeping this poll very simple by going with only Yes and No options.

Tony is too smart to screw this opportunity up by going back to football this year.

@Reality never votes!

nope, he has 3 little ones and a pretty little blonde that want him to be healthy...he can feed his football intensity by being in the booth

the children aspect is meaningless, he had them when he played

however, he has enough $$$ and this job will give him a ton as well

I didn't vote...but I did buy a bottle of Rum!! Better than voting..

As soon as I read he played in a golf tournament last weekend i knew he was done with football

He gave it up to protect his back and avoid criticism of not being dedicated enough

Golf can fuel his competitive fires

Vote and celebrate with a few plugs from the bottle!

I would have voted differently if there was a who cares option.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Don't see Romo playing now. Before today yes but not any more.

 

[aria]

No, he knows he's too fragile and he's right. It's a great opportunity and it would be dumb of him not to take it.

I can't help but wonder if playing gold tweaked his back enough to make him realize he wouldn't be able to take NFL hits ever again.
I can't believe it's a coincidence that he made this decision after playing golf....he must of felt something...even if it was just weakness.

 

[JoeKing]

I don't think he would do it unless it meant taking the Cowboys into the post season.

[Eric_Boyer]

the right team suffering a qb injury might do it, so very doubtful

I don't think that is the case

I had back surgery for a herniated disc 15 years ago...you always know it is there and I played 100s of rounds of golf

I just think he always felt the optics were bad and didn't want to fuel further criticisms by playing golf

Once he decided to retire I think he couldn't care less about the optics and just went and had a great weekend of golf with his Dad and family
