Romo Situation: The Question Nobody Is Asking

[Thomas82]

But here's the question no one seems to be asking when it comes to the aging quarterback:

"Why would Tony Romo even want to play for the Dallas Cowboys now?"

I'm not sure why that question would be asked. He's, in all likelihood, not going to be here next season, so why would it be widely asked why he'd want to stay?

Umm... because there's maybe one or two offenses in football with a better situation for him. If the Cowboys told him he was the starting QB for the next 2 years no matter what happened, he would stay in a heartbeat. He's been told the opposite, or at least inferred it, and is rightfully wanting out.

Edit: nobody is asking that question because it's not a very good question.

Not surprising that such a dopey article would totally miss the number one reason he shouldn't want to return: "braintrust" can't push the right buttons to get them over the top.

Either trade Romo for the best pick possible, or keep Romo and have him compete for the starting job...could also keep Romo and trade him if a team hopeful of contending loses their starter...as far as releasing him or trading him to a certain team just to make him happy is absolutely no way to run a sports franchise...but maybe that's why The Cowboys are 21 years without being in an NFC Championship game or SB, the team is no longer run like great sport franchise's.

The Landryhat is terrible now.

There was a guy or two there in the past that were good, but not anymore.

It's definitely not what it used to be.

That's cap hit not salary.

He would get 14M if he stayed with no changes to his contract.

That's a bargin for a veteran starting QB but too much for a backup.

Thanks Stephen. LOL

Most people don't believe that it's an option, so therefore making the question irrelevant.

 

[JoeKing]

Yeah that's not the question. The right question is what if training camp is a fair competition and Romo wins?

 

[Asklesko]

nobody needs to ask that because everyone assumes he doesn't.

Good luck with that. Romo wouldn't win because he's an interception machine and takes untimely sacks. You can't win like that, sorry. But let some other team try him out, I'm sure they'll regret the high price tag for an intercepting machine that's made of glass.

There is no harm in allowing the fair completion at TC. If Rayne wins then like almost every Cowboys fan, I'm fine with that. But I'm sensing that is exactly what the powers that be are afraid of and therefore will never allow that fair competition to happen because it will potentially lower Romo's value to other teams. Romo was never out performed one on one by Rayne Prescott, so I believe he deserves that opportunity.

You are so funny and inaccurate.

You have a QB that is capable of 13-3 who is cheap. Do you know how many teams would love that? And your response is to keep an expensive car on deck. The guy's salary could get us the type of defense we've been dreaming of for a LONG time but with him here, you can forget that, so where does that leave us? That leaves us in the EXACT SAME BOAT. At this point, we're trying to move past a bad defense. Giving him that type of contract was suspect to begin with, but it's been done and now it's time to undo it. We have 3 more years on cheap labor and we need to act FAST.

That business is closed here in Dallas. Good luck elsewhere, fat boy!
