Romo expected to play against Eagles

[crashintonickdm]

What's exciting is that in 2007 you sensed trouble because of how rocky their performances were heading into the playoff bye

Do not sense it now. In fact I still think we win Sunday. Romo/Sanchez or dak

Your opinion has magically been modified numerous times in this discussion. And, I say what I say without condescension. It's clear that you don't know or understand the history of the team. You may want to learn more about it - you'll appreciate the team even more.

No, my opinion is that I think the ROH should be reserved for HOFers. I thought I made that clear. Please show me where I modified my opinion even once.

I pointed out correctly that the current system is arbitrary as Darren Woodson is in, but Jimmy Johnson is not. But neither one should be there unless they get elected to the HOF.

No it's not, and you know it.

you believe that if you want

Why are you worrying about a win on sunday and the game means nothing?

No it's not, and you know it.

I think he seriously believes that will happen.

If that's the case no player will be in the ROH from the past 20 years and if we don't win another Sb, nobody else will go in either. Romo, Witten and Ware deserve to be in.

Well there are exceptions. In the case of Ware he will go down as one of the best pass rushers of all time. Witten will go down as one of the best tight ends in history. I'm not sure where Romo fits there.

 

[khiladi]

Either way, Romo needs some snaps to shake the rust off before the playoffs.

Romo probably pushed this anyways.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

If you think that a Lombardi should be the entrance fee to the Cowboys ROH, then that is what you think.

I don't think it should be.

I think Ware should be in the ROH as well. But he DID win a Lombardi. It was with the Broncos. But, he DOES have a ring. LOL!!!

And Witten might still get one before he retires. But..........if he doesn't. Yes. Witten. ROH as well.

That's not my standard that's the standard that has been set. I honestly see both arguments. I could see the argument for putting him in and not putting him in. But I don't agree that he's the same case as Ware and Witten. Both guys were considered one of the best at their position during their primes. And while I would say Romo should be regarded the same at his position....I'm not sure if anyone else that matters would agree. If Romo does get it though it's going to be awhile from now that's for sure.

One question: why does everybody think the team will be rusty if they rest their starters prior to having a 1st round bye?

How is this any different than the starters resting in the preseason finale; which shuts them down for almost two weeks since the season opener is typically ten days after the last exhibition game?

We never hear about a team being rusty for game one of the season.

He's the third best QB in Cowboy history.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

He's the third best QB in Cowboy history.

Statistically, Romo would be the best (the only passing categories he trails Troy Aikman in are pass attempts and completions).

It's sad Romo could never win a Super Bowl here or else he would be in the conversation for #1. It would be close to the Favre-Rodgers debate in Green Bay.

By saying that Johnson is not in, you're implying that you believe that he belongs. You earlier said that it should only be for members of the HOF. Those two statements do not jive with each other.

You also said that the ROH should be more exclusive than it is, and if you make a comparison around the league with other organizations that have similar institutions, you would see that the Cowboys are more exclusive than any other team. You then went and said that the Cowboys should emulate the Yankees, a historic team with a very large monument section to former players/owners, who dedicated one of their largest monuments to George Steinbrenner.....

Right. So is that the bar? Being the third best at a position?

If that were the case why would we even need the ROH? We would just have two HOF. Kind of pointless.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Huzzah!
Now Tony is assured a "Participation" ribbon for the season!

 

[Blackspider214]

Against Phillys d line?

What does this matter?

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

If Tony gets hurt he might just retire.

And there goes any trade value if and when another team needs an aging, fragile and expensive QB.

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

How if he never played in a NFC championship game??

You need to read better. I very clearly stated multiple times that the ROH should be reserved for HOFers. I didn't imply anything. By pointing out that Woodson is in but Jimmy is out shows how arbitrary it is. That's why it should be based on the HOF, not the whim of the current owner.

You are correct that I said the ROH should be more exclusive than it is. That's my whole point! It's not complicated. I specifically said the Cowboys are the greatest team in the league and should set their standard higher than the other teams. Want to be a member of the Ring? Great! Go have a HOF career!

I understand how it's done for most of the league. But the Cowboys are the greatest team in the league and therefore should have a higher standard.

Unfortunately it's too late for that which is why I suggested the team could reserve a special honor for their immortal handful of players (and I specifically said players) similiar to what the Yankees have done.

I watched all 3 play and I can't put Tony over the other two. Tony plays in a passing league now. It's all stats. Roger was the greatest Cowboy QB I ever saw.
