Romo Situation: The Question Nobody Is Asking

[visionary]

Romo hasn't left any doubt that his agenda strongly emphasizes playing for another team next year. He's has made it quite clear that he wouldn't be satisfied backing up Dak. The FO has already decided to start Dak again in 2017 and beyond. Tony will either be cut or traded. I seriously doubt he's inclined to retire, at least not at this point in time. I'd really love to see him opt to become a TV commentator, although that's more than likely to be considered at a much later date.

If tony has made his agenda known to the Cowboys and it is a business decision for him then I hope the Cowboys have made their priorities known to him

He is under contract. We need him as the back up in 2017 and would be happy to trade him for a first round pick to another team

Losing the argument so you resort to throwing out pejoratives like calling me a tiny sheep. LOL

What argument? that Romo is a born choker? It's been proven for 10 years, what more proof do guys like you need? You guys are hopeless, but now it's a new era, the Dak era. We'll see what he can do over the next several years.

Romo has one of the all-time high QB ratings in the history of the NFL. If you want to cheerlead for Rayne then I'm not going to stop you but the facts speak for themselves. Romo is the far superior QB. Even Rayne himself will admit this.

I'm fairly confident that Tony and the FO have already discussed the ins and outs of their "druthers" to one another. They have always been on good enough terms for them to have aired out their feelings on that matter by now. If not, it's possibly even gotten to a point where something of a rift has taken place. Perhaps that might explain the lack of information being disseminated on the matter. I believe Romo has already made known his desire to play and not merely serve as a backup behind Prescott.

Whether other teams will anti up on a possible trade is anyone's guess but I'd be really surprised to see Romo accept a backup spot for Dallas. Of course, that doesn't mean it can't happen but those odds are slim, imho. His pride alone probably wouldn't allow it. I think Tony would be more likely to get waived than to serve as our backup. The compensation he might bring would be quite interesting to see when the time comes. I seriously doubt it'll be as high as a 1st round pick, though. His health situation likely won't allow it unless some team is really desperate.

Tom Brady has 5 Super Bowl titles, Romo has two playoff wins, I'm glad you're proud.

So, the way you choose to knock Romo is by comparing him to arguably the greatest QB in NFL history? Good job.

Proven loser, he'll be forgotten except for his tiny sheep like yourself.

Wow you really hate tony lol.
and your fond of Mrtxstar too I see

Maybe you can relate to this, it is hard for a qb to win and get in playoffs, and then win there with " Mr White "
as OC/ASST HC, HC/OC, then HC.
What would have made the Romo years more productive, and maybe a SB or 2 is if we had had a "Heisenberg" for HC -OC
during the Romo years.

[DandyDon52]

Most QB's have the one SB appearance, and a win or loss there.
only Brady has more than 2, and Eli is only one with 2 except Roethlisberger, who has what 2?
Rodgers is the heralded QB, and he only has the one, and then has lost in playoffs year after year since that early SB year.
So he is a choker too, just managed to win that early one.
Rivers has won alot of games, but never done well in playoffs.

Asking why would Romo even want to play for the Cowboys now is a question that doesn't need to be asked because it's obvious he's not going to want to be a backup. He's not going to want to play for any team where's he's a backup.

A dozen teams.....who would have ever thought that?????....and a possible 2nd(I still say 1st)

What does that have to do with my comment? The Cowboys aren't going to get a first round pick for Romo due to his age and injury concerns. You say a lot of things and always end up being wrong. Never did I say a second round pick wasn't possible but those like you that keep saying Romo will reap a first round pick and possibly more are going to end up wrong. Every team out there knows if the Cowboys can't trade Romo he'll be released so no one is going to give up much for an aging, injury prone QB who's going to be on the open market if they can't be traded.

This isn't a situation where if the Cowboys don't get a good trade offer they're going to keep Romo, he's gone no matter what and there's a time limit when something has to be done. Everyone has seen what's happened with Romo the past 2 years, he hasn't lasted more than 2 games before sustaining a significant injury. No one has seen Romo take a hit since August and the last solid hit he took had him on the shelf for half the season before he was ready to play again.

Agree with what you said
My point is that the other team should expect to pay what his value is to them
I'll accept something like:

Rd 3 pick this year and Rd 2 pick next year that escalates to Rd 1 if they make the playoffs

You think far superiors QBs get benched for 4th round rookie QBs? Trust me, Brady nor Rodgers would have gotten benched no matter how well a 4th round rookie would have played.

Romo lost his job, Dak is the QB for the foreseeable future. Goodbye to 10 years of 2 (one questionable against the Lions) wildcard wins. As for Romo... bye Felicia.

Hes been that way for years.
Pre-2014 was saying the same things while arguing for Manziel.
Then Romo proceeded to do the opposite....lead the league in clutch 4 th Qtr comebacks...including one (and almost two) in tne playoffs....and all while being the first QB to lead the league in QB rating in both the regular and post season.

There's about 6-7 truly irrational haters.
Clove, animosity, gameover, ufc, gimmetheball, and few others are classic irrational haters on Romo.

If people arent fans of Romo, its no big deal to me. Thats their right.
Its the ones that have vitriol hate and even get personal that tick me off.
Even those that have historically been critical of him but at least are rational are called "sheep" by these guys.
It embarrassing.

Thanks.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the one hit wonder, Dakota Rayne Prescott. He's destined to ride the pine his sophomore season after being shown the ropes at training camp by the great Antonio Ramiro Romo.

You think far superiors QBs get benched for 4th round rookie QBs? Trust me, Brady nor Rodgers would have gotten benched no matter how well a 4th round rookie would have played.

Getting benched is when you underperform and then are removed to give someone else a chance to do better. That's not what happened to Romo. He was injured and then Wally Pipp'ed.

That sounds very optimistic to me but no doubt, time will tell what Romo might command in terms of compensation. It'll be interesting.

You're wrong about everything, some of your misses have already been documented. If you think Dak is a one hit wonder that will be riding the pine after being beat out by Romo, that's even more ridiculous than your prediction that Hardy would show up in the middle of training camp last summer. LOL You've eaten so much crow you've acquired a taste for it.

I told you a dozen teams months ago and you had one of your patented hissy fits
