Romo interview

Well that's even more pathetic.
Explain? Where is you’re evidence though? ROTY 3 years ago? High QBR? Is that you skip Bayless? Tell me 1 thing to be happy about this QB situation besides that he is cheap and affordable? But yet every other person in this board rags on people for wanting dez and romo back.
Exactly. Also the guy who went back in with the transverse fracture. Him being medically cleared in 2016 carries no weight for me. Didn't want the team risking more money on him because I think it was just a matter of time before another hit would send him to the sidelines again despite being medically cleared. It carried no weight in 2015, carried no weight in 2016 and carries no weight now.
im sure you’re glad we are a lot better off now :clap:

*** are you blabbering about? The one arm thing again? Just stop.
 
What's hilarious is you guys being unwilling or unable to see the details specific to each individual situation.

Details matter.
Or that the guy is retired and you guys are acting like he was some saviour. Yes Romo was amazing, and completely underrated in my opinion. But lets not forget the guy had 2 playoff wins in over a decade.
 
I said it was technically ‘crossing the line’ and in another post, even if you are going to argue he engaged and Avril, couldn’t pull back, it was a pre-season game and Avril was clearly trying to hit hard.

And I even made a mistake in my original post. Avril wasn’t even engaged with Smith, he went around the outside of Doug Free and looped all the way around, meaning ran totally outside and came from behind and blind-sided Romo after he took off, meaning he basically was out of the play but kept coming.

Not sure what ‘playing hard’ has to do in the context of the rules that you can’t hit a sliding QB in the rules today.

Either case, none of that changes the fact the injury was textbook football trauma and would happen to anyone, meaning it was biomechanical and the standard healing time was 6 weeks without surgery.
This idea Romo was just chilling is a myth. He was sliding forward and Avril hit him and bent him forward.

Excellent post. It is too bad that is a freeze frame of the tackle. That camera angle is perfect. An animated gif or video at that particular angle would have been better. Simple (not moderate or super but simple) comprehension of physics and human anatomy would then provide some readers greater understanding why the injury was atypical instead of what is commonly thought as the typical result of football related blunt trauma.
 
Not here to defend Romo's health, but that's not true.

The last two times he took an NFL hit he got injured. Not 4. No need to exaggerate as your point still stands to some degree.:laugh:

I think he got hurt 2 times in the last 7-8 good hits he took, and then 3 times in 9...so not good.

He got hit several times (3 sacks and more hits) in the Philly game, then he got hit hard twice at Miami (4 days before the Carolina debacle). That's probably one reason he was so screwed up in the Thanksgiving day game vs the Panthers. hort week not even fully healed from earlier int he eyar, then beat yup some at Miami only get face the eventual 15-1 Panthers on really about 3 1/2 days rest.
That was truly ugly.

I don't know how he would've been health wise, but he was taking Wednesdays off from practice already, as you recall. He really needed more time in 2015.

I'm sure he's enjoying the booth.

Actually, he got hit in the Miami preseason game between Carolina and Seattle too, with no ill effects. I can't recall if he took any hits on that drive against Philly.

No, I'm not. I just realize we needed to move on. And I realize we need to move on from Dak. And if the next QB can't cut it either, then we need to move on from them. And we will eventually get another QB that the team can be competitive with. I'm not concerned with playing make believe with a former QB and putting him in hypothetical situations to make him a winner.

Forget about television, radio, etc. and simply take this one internet fan site into account for a moment. CowboysZone has birthed so many Romo threads and posts over the years. I am only guessing but I would say it is safe saying they easily number in the thousands.

The content of all these posts has been really diverse. Pro. Con. Factual. Fabrication. Thoughful. Irrational. You name it. A Romo post or thread has seen it...

...but the most incredible comment that repeatedly resurfaces is alleged concern for Romo's welfare. Here we all are on CowboysZone, a site dedicated to the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League. Football. Not bowling. Not curling. Football. A sport where even kickers sometimes get <expletive> up.

As a whole, players deal with multitudes of injuries every day, while playing and after they leave the game behind them. Yet so many people are so... empathic... about a single guy. Person A says, 'Romo would be paralyzed. Poor Candice.' today, tomorrow, fives times on Saturday, watch the game Sunday (and take time to say it between downs), etc. It never stops. So many people are so gosh darn compassionate about Romo's well-being.

Just imagine the daily outpouring of written emotion taking the form of posts and threads directed at all the other players. Millions would flock to this site to be a part of such warm and loving sympathy of our fellow human beings!

Oh well. Guess we must settle for only being the best Cowboys fansite on the internet. :grin:

As long as Romo is breathing and can walk and throw I don’t think the assessment is very hyper in theory

Well we will see. Romo 2.0 is playing for the Vikings. He just needed a team too. Now he got one it doesn’t appear it’s working out too well.
 
Time to bring back Romo and Dez!
But only by surprise and at halftime like in The Replacements. And I would like it if Dez picked up Romo and held him over his head like a cheerleader because Romo has probably let himself go now and has a huge butt like Kardashian and Dez would need both hands.

LMAO, I don't know if y'all did it over here got into discussing the size of Romo's butt on the old DC.com. Funny, we never discussed Sam Bradford's butt, he looks like Granny Clampett from the back.

And it seems that people who liked him least as a player are now the most compassionate and concerned about his heath. Seeing that kind of change just brings a tear to my eye. If only we could all learn to love like that.

What team is Keenum franchise leader in yards and TDS?

Do players not hit hard in preseason? There are guys out there literally playing for their lives in preseason and you want them to slow up to give another ruthless player an opening at their job? I'm not questioning whether any QB would have been injured on the play, I'm saying any hint of calling Avril dirty is simply misguided homerism. The play wasn't "technically" anything. It was football and bad luck for Romo. In that same game, Elliott took on Chancellor to truck him and people cheered that to no end. Didn't Elliott know it was preseason and he didn't have to do that? Like I said, y'all need to make up your minds. Pick a football principle and actually stick to it whether your team benefits or not. Otherwise it's just bias pretending not to be bias.
