Ray Lewis weighs in on the Dak vs Romo | Undisputed

[Blake]

The whole panel agrees, stick with Dak. Ray and Shannon both make the case that Dallas needs to ride the current wave of success while they're on it, and inserting Romo in place of Dak could disrupt the current chemistry in the locker room that has formed as a result of Dak's presence. Seems wiser to have Romo be the back up and if Dak falters (which he could), Romo has his opportunity to become the hero and save the day. This shouldn't be a problem for Super_Cantstandya and a couple other Romo apologists on the board should it?... If afterall, Dak has exhibited clear and present flaws in his game as you say, then why are you so scared to have a teeny weeny 4th round rookie holding down the fort for the rest of the season until he proves that he can't handle the responsibility anymore?

Ray Lewis sure is ugly!!

 

[T-RO]

Tony Romo is my boy but I've been in favor of staying with Dak.

But I'll add this:
--Tony might need to start a game or two to audition for a trade
--Players should do their job. Period.
--I'm getting pretty bored by the debate...and even with typing these words.

Do you follow the Dallas Cowboys and number yourself one of their fans?

Or do you follow one player and all your emotions are so tied up in him you find yourself in arguments with strangers on this board?

If you even begin to lean toward the second question, then you are not a fan of the team. I don't care how many jerseys you bought or how long you have been a "fan."

If you are not for the team over all else, and what is best for the TEAM, then what does that say about your fandom?

 

[maxdogg]

I agree with Shannon the kid has " IT "

 

[Cowboysfan917]

Ray Lewis is a complete thug.

Broaddus, you know, a guy plugged into the Cowboys organization who specifically analyzes this team says go with Romo

He likes Scandrick and also wanted Jason Garrett fired.

Precisely.

 

[Gabe]

A few standout quotes

Shannon: Dak is playing a lot better than Brady was when Brady took over
Skip: Romo was never a leader in the sense Dak is, the reason Dak took over that locker room is because nobody was leading it in the first place
Ray: If you stop what they have going on now, I don't know if you will EVER get it back

Great video

I agree. I will pull for which ever QB is behind center frankly I like them both. My question would be for those who want Romo to remain on the bench will you back him and support him if the coaches choose to put him back in the game? Or will people own interest be greater than that of the team?

 

[Gabe]

I'd pull for Romo if he is put back in the game. Do I think the coaches would be complete and total fools for doing so? Absolutely. But, it's their call on how they want to be perceived by the masses.

and if Romo play is much greater than Dak are the coaches still fools? I think coaches are concerned about winning not fan perception. I don't know how this will play out, will Romo come back and play outstanding ball? I can't say 100%. I do think this will be the most outside pressure Romo will have felt in his career, there have always been critics of Romo but now even those who have supported Romo will be judging him and waiting for him to fail.

No offense, but I don't know how Romo can play much better than perfection. I've pointed out his most recent stats many times. If Romo played 6 games in 2015 he would have 7 TD and 11 INT. Unless he comes back from a major injury, more wrinkled and slower as well I may add... And stages some complete and total transformation... Fans are going to be HIGHLY disappointed with what they see.

And what will make matters even worse, is that the coaches and locker room will have to live knowing what they were doing previously was already working. NOT GOOD

You are the one posting this. You are the one that seems to have his underpants in a wad over the notion that there are people that support Tony Romo coming back in on this board and that he gives us the best chance to win overall.

If they do put Romo in I bet your head will explode........Right after you come on here and whine.

Ask yourself the same question.

They're not going to make the call based off of perception of the masses.

I know you're a Cowboys fan mostly because you're a Dak fan, Gabe, and I think that's cool. But if you haven't done it yet, you ought to treat yourself to a Tony Romo highlight reel. There's a ton of them out there. He's a special QB in his own right.

Thanks, I've watched a LOT of Tony Romo over the years. He's a shell of his former self and even him in his prime could NEVER get the job done. It may go back to that leadership aspect that those commentators were talking about in that video. I know a lot of his fans will point to stats several years ago, or make every excuse in the book for the guy who has NEVER been able to win, to try to paint him in a positive light... But, I along with most others just don't see it.

If he was ever great or even good I may add... He would have several super bowl rings. Dak could win it all with this group right now. IF/WHEN Tony is put back and fails like he has done his whole career... Sure enough, here will come his fans blaming no pass rush, no LBers, injuries, Jerry Jones, etc... You get the picture.

Dak on the other hand... No Dez, who cares? No Tyron Smith? Makes no difference...

and that is your view we don't know how he will look. Every game Dallas won last season was with Romo behind center. Maybe your right they will be disappointed then again maybe not we don't know. In 72 the Dolphins perfect season Griese missed 9 games and heading into the playoffs Shula had to make a choice to keep things going with Morrall or to go with Griese? He went with the guy who he felt was the better player and that was Griese. No doubt if Miami loses in post season with the perfect season on the line making that move Shula would have caught hell but again he went with the person who he felt was the better player.

Dallas has no perfect season going nor the playoffs being Romo 1st game back but if coaches are seeing a sharpness in Romo through out the week and feel he would only add more to the offense then that in my view would be foolish. I'm not at the facility or working with Romo so I can't say 100% how things are looking with him so I will trust their judgement. I don't think Romo will be given a long leash, he will have to step in producing at a high level to maintain that job.

For those who do not want Romo to return my question would be if Dak is the QB we think he is then don't you think he can re-enter the game once Romo shows he can't do it anymore?

The hell you would.

You and the Dak pawns create a thousand threads a day and attempt to ram as much crap down people's throats about how horrible Tony Romo is and how this team is just at heights never seen before just because of Dak.

Then you criticize the mere notion that others actually do think that Romo is better suited at the moment to run this offense and then somehow attempt to reconcile that with fandom and some emotional ties to certain players over the team.

The only one's with overwhelming emtional tied to one certain player are the Dak people and it's past the point of ridiculous. I like Dak and I like Tony Romo.

I think a healthy Tony Romo at the moment is better than Dak Prescott and better for the TEAM overall. That doesn't mean that I'm all-in for Tony Romo individually like you people are for Dak.
