Romo cleared for practice, may be active for Steelers

[Direwolf63]

If they're going to make the choice than they need to it. Not pull dak in the middle of a game.

Dak strikes me as the kind of guy who, if he does get pulled during game, will just correct his mistakes and work even harder to get better. He doesn't seem like a guy who will lose his confidence or get down on himself.

He will fix what he did wrong and move on.

Because if Romo stinks it up, and Dak replaces him, that will be the end of Romo in Dallas.

If we never put him back in, that will be the end of Romo in Dallas as well.

 

[Animosity]

So how long will it take for Jerry to insert Romo back in the lineup? One loss? Two losses? Unless we go 15-1 I can see Jerry pulling the plug on Dak at some point.

hopefully, never

 

[rynochop]

Ok, so you put Romo in, and he stinks it up and we lose, how long is his leash? Are you assuming Romo comes back like he never left? How many games do you give to lose? Because if Romo stinks it up, and Dak replaces him, that will be the end of Romo in Dallas.

First off, this thread is in the incorrect forum. floaty

I think they are worried about Romo coming in and struggling and having to go to Dak,then what do you do? Then you have a media crapstorm

I liked Broaddus' reasoning: You don't wait until there's reason to take Dak out, and in so doing, inherently plant the seed of doubt in his head for when he comes back after Romo's finished his Dallas run. For Dak's own sake, you put him in a position to be the hero, either coming back in this season after Romo falters, or, better, coming back in next season after Romo exits the roster.

All of this momentum stuff is bunk. Like I think Jimmy Johnson (?) is noted for saying, momentum is a matter of what you do on the next play. Dak is clearly capable of playing at a high level... maybe/hopefully over time, we'll find he's capable of playing at the highest level.

But Romo is clearly capable of playing... now... at the highest level.

And so I like my reason better than Broaddus, though admittedly it is more short-sighted, but hey, you gotta strike while the iron is hot... these opportunities don't arise every season...

Who do I feel more confident about starting a playoff game? Who do I feel more confident about leading us into a Super Bowl?

It's the guy with the history of playing at the highest level... the guy who stands with the best QBs in NFL history in his high pressure 4th quarter body of work.

The only problem is he doesn't stand with the best QB's in nfl history in the playoffs. Could romo do just as well if not better during the regular season? Sure, playoffs I don't know ,Prescott hasn't had the opportunity. Just wanna keep winning.

If Romo plays well, 2016 could be his final season in Dallas if the front office named Prescott as the starter for 2017.

If Romo gets injured, Prescott will relieve him and 2016 could be Romo's final season in Dallas since its unlikely he will remain as a backup.

However which way the situation is cut, it really doesn't matter if Romo plays this season since the possibility exists that he will not be with the team next season.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

After the first incompletion I'm calling for Dak's head.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

so do you risk losing games to find out about Romo?

Confirming Jerry Speak and sensationalism inspired article construction are mutually exclusive goals. It's unnecessary to use disjointed quotes and speculate what they mean for future actions. The goal should always be to report what's said and let the public decide what anything said means.

CBS Sports could have gone with the title Romo Cleared For Practice only. But that's too practical. Of course, the powers that be did a customary stringing of quotes together to make the underlying article "legitimate"--even though the quotes themselves may not actually tie into the story being conveyed. It's nonsense but customary for today's media preferred publication.

Agree wholeheartedly, East. But it's CBS Sports, so I thought it deserved to be posted. I highlighted the pertinent parts of the article.

I don't disagree with you one iota, my bud.

The end is coming anyway and sooner rather than later.

No problemo. It's an article from a reputable site. Post it. Just always watch out for any embedded naughty language.

A loss to Pittsburgh and a loss to either the Ravens or Skins. Two losses in 11 days will be all it takes for Jerry to declare that the hand is no longer hot (despite winning 8 of 11 games) and that chemistry is off (despite winning 8 of 11 games).

 

[MRV52]

I am in the camp that wants to see Romo given a chance to get in there.

This thread is not a Dak vs Romo thread, it's a (speculation) Romo returning to the roster thread.

Please let the mods do their jobs, if they want to move it they will. We don't need your input. Respectfully, brother.

Jerry couldn't write a better script for 2016

-Get a premium Quarterback for the future of the franchise. Check.
-Land him at the expense of only a 4th round draft pick. Check.
-Pair him with the best runner from the draft. Check.
-Be sitting at the top of the NFC. Check.
-Get rookie play from that quarterback that is other-worldly. Check.
-Create a quarterback controversy that keeps everyone talking Cowboys for months. Check.

Get Romo a Super Bowl? that one I can't see happening for a variety of reason, one of which is I don't think Romo sees the field.

But at this point...do I bet against the Will of The Owner?

 

[flosho]

My wife, after seeing the hit on Romo in preseason called it.. Romo is done in Dallas. She's a Packers fan though.

I'd like to see Romo given a chance to keep his job.

 

[Trouty]

How weird and surreal will it be if Romo is, indeed, activated this Sunday and is holding the clipboard on the sidelines. No one in their right mind would have ever guessed that Dak would have taken the reigns the way he has.

Either way, our QB situation is golden right now.

Your membership date is meaningless to me, as it pertains to your comment in my thread. I respect the older members here, but not in the context you've provided. Please add to the discussion.

What do you think of a Dak/Romo tandem heading into the playoffs, Ryno? Pretty awesome, eh?! What do you think of this news, if it is, indeed legit. Think Dak feels the heat with Romo in pads? He's shown he has ice water in his veins, I think he continues to shine, myself. Are you happy that Romo is progressing in his rehab? Seems close. Nice situation to have.

Romo active (possibly) on the 53 this Sunday, caught me off guard and out of the blue. What about you?
