Romo and Retirement

[sportsman]

As much as I would love to see Romo play 5 more years. With a possibility of being a cripple if he keep taking hits each season like he has thus far. The thought of retirement at some point after this season should way heavy on his/wife mind.

So this season to win becomes that more important.

Hopefully he retires at the end of the year.

I don't know about that, but the search for Romo's replacement should become a higher priority for the scouts and coaches starting this offseason. Weeden ain't him.

Based on the start, this thread is going to show who's pro-Romo and who isn't.

I don't think Tony even considers retiring until after 2017. Look, if we simply get better at what we already do now, pretty darn well, Tony can be a guy who can play 2 or 3 more seasons with relatively little risk IMO. The thing is, we as a team, and as a fan base, have to get right with the idea that Tony can no longer be a guy that we can simply rely upon to stand in and throw 40 times a game and we can't rely upon him to be somebody who can beat the blitz and the pass rush consistently and be able get back up time after time. We need to understand that the way for us to extend Tony and win games is to create balance and believe in that approach. I don't care if it's Tony who wants to deviate from this and go mustang, we have to become that team and we have to create that identity. We need to believe that the run game is what we hang our hat on. We didn't trust it on Monday and it cost us.

If you can do one thing really well, so well that it doesn't matter what your opponent does to counter it, then you can win with that. That's who we need to become IMO.

if he retires we don't get the cap space back.

For the record, I'm pro-Romo. But I'm also pro-realist.

I want a replacement prepared and ready to go when Romo hangs it up. I don't want another Quincy Carter/Chad Hutchinson/Drew Henson fiasco on this team.

 

[DogFace]

Whatever

Hopefully he retires at the end of the year.

If he does, there will be weeping and nashing of teeth as people begin to realize how good he was & how devoid of talent they've become in the QB dept as a result of his departure

I think Dallas should look to the future and get a QB in here to learn and who can sit behind Romo so that he can take over. I seriously doubt Romo is even thinking retirement right now.

Romo contract is massive and he will try to earn every penny of it. But you do bring up a good point and that is: Cowboys better get serious about his replacement because his situation is game by game, minute by minute. Even if he plays a full 2015 - I want someone they are developing that is a fairly high draft pick.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

He will probably play a few more years. I never bought into that stuff he was saying about playing till he was 40.

I also don't buy into this stuff about his replacement can not possibly be good & the team will suffer for years.

If they draft a good solid QB there is no reason he cannot be very successful in Dallas.

Aren't we at that point where we can retire the word 'realist' yet?

When a word achieves the opposite of it's original intent, and then keeps digging...at some point you just have to take the shovel out of its hand and put it down mercifully. Don't you? Or do we just have to keep dressing it up and humiliating its corpse?

 

[conner01]

romo is going nowhere till atleast 2017 if not later. qb's, even those with injury histories can play till their late 30's and even into their 40's. manning is still knocking down records after people thought he was done

 

[reddyuta]

i dont know about retirement but drafting a QB in the next drafts becomes a top priority,i want somebody better than Weeden as a backup.

It's not that black and white.

I give Romo this year and next. If he is leading us to 8-8 or one and done in playoffs.

It's time to go. No further than 2015 season for me.

I will have seen enough and heard enough excuses.

We have to hope he lucks into Super Bowl win like Favre.

Pick another word then.

I see the facts in front of me on a particular topic, make a reasoned judgement on them and try to communicate it in a realis sensible way.

Gosh just last week he was playing the best football in his career and today we are talking retirement. Man how things change in 1 week. lol

 

[phildadon86]

The cap hit would kill us if he retired at seasons end. Or am i wrong?
