That's good enough by me. Tony already showed he can still light it up. Give him some work out there then save him for 9/7

Wouldn't mind the entire 1st quarter. But if they run the ball enough that may only be 2 series. LOL

I think it'd depend on his play, if he comes out looking terrible in his first 2 series, I say keep him longer. The only reason I'd pull him sooner is if the o-line is being swiss cheese that day because it'd be silly to let Romo get hurt in a preseason game.

I would agree. If Romo comes out looking sharp then sit him after a couple of series. If he gets off to a slow start having play a bit longer. I would hope in the final pre season he will not play at all and have Weeden, Hanie and Vaughn take all the snaps.

Lame. I would prefer he play the entire quarter.

id rather save it for the season, knowing my luck he gets injured, and its likely he gets injuried in the season, well on second thought, get injured early. Ok, full quarter it is.

It's the country club type atmosphere in Dallas.

It's okay to be injured. Hey, let's preserve Lance Dunbar. Romo's in bubble wrap until the opener.

That culture Parcells said had to change? This is it.

Why does Romo have to play at all? To prove a point about the culture here? The only reason for him to play is because people paid to get in. Give me a break. Let Weeden play with the first team some.

If theyre doing this because of his back, then lets just sit him the whole season. Thats the only way you can prevent injury.

I'd rather make sure my franchise qb isn't hurt in a meaningless preseason game and lost for the season not to disprove some country club stigma

fine by me ...i want to see weeden launch the ball behind the first string o-line and first team receivers...

weeden damn near needed a body cast playing behind the second string o-line against the ravens...he kept getting up though.

he's a tough cookie who has been impressive with us thus far....he is showing the talent he had in college.

maybe he has found a home here....i'm impressed by his mobility skills.

Yes. The only point of the preseason is to play it since people already bought tickets. It serves no purpose in terms of preparation for the regular season.

Romo doesn't need to play to get in sync with his receivers or throw it to them. It's one quarter vs every day in practice for quite awhile. Get over it. Write that 100 times and call me in the morning.
