Not really.

Romo wasnt taking up anyones active spot, 8 guys have to be inactive anyway.

They thought he still had a chance to play, no reason to IR him till they were sure.

Because he may have been able to play again depending on how he healed. Obviously, he didn't heal as quickly as they had hoped, so now he's on IR.

Because Jones, Garrett and the entire Cowboys organization is incompetitent.

Or maybe it's a conspiracy to make sure the Cowboys continue to suck.


Now I know this is going to sound crazy.
But maybe his initial diagnosis lead the team to believe he could return. AND they saw enough benefits to the team as a whole in his return.

 

[burmafrd]

Its taking longer than hoped so now they do it. Makes sense to me, though they might as well have done it a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Doomsday101]

I was hoping he could return to get in some real game work with Dez but once Dez went down I saw no need to bring Tony back this season.

 

[TheSport78]

Get well, Tony. Can't wait to see you on the field again next year (if there's football)!

 

[TheCount]

About time. Thank godness we didn't try to play him this year.

I don't think it should have mattered how fast he was healing, a broken bone takes 6-8 weeks to heal a broken bone in a normal human being, why risk it at all? What possible level of healing would have been okay in that time frame to risk your franchise QB having to do go through a whole new series of rehab and physical therapy under these circumstances?

Maybe some of you have never had to go through PT, it blows. It's not fun in the least bit.

I'm glad he was able to hang around the team though, from my understanding if you're on IR, you have to stay clear, no?

 

[The Quest for Six]

Per Mr Jones on 105.3 the fan.......Why this was not done weeks ago is a gosh darn good question

because the owner/GM is an idiot

 

[bootyhunta]

Question... if he goes on IR... is he still allowed to be involved (wear a headset) on the sidelines during the game?

 

[SDCowboy]

Get well, Tony. Can't wait to see you on the field again next year (if there's football)!

I'm with ya. I'm pumped for next season.

 

[hornitosmonster]

because the owner/GM is an idiot

But 100% smarter than you. So if he is an idiot what does that make you?
:laugh2:

Yes and it should have be done weeks ago

 

[Gadfly22]

Could have been done weeks ago (maybe, depending on what the doctors were saying). But certainly makes sense now, when they might need some backup help on the roster -- maybe on ST -- given the injury situation (including Lee and Sensabaugh).

 

[TD-33]

Because Jones, Garrett and the entire Cowboys organization is incompetitent.

Or maybe it's a conspiracy to make sure the Cowboys continue to suck.

Tony's getting married. He needs time to get that together and faking the collar bone was a bit drastic, but necessary to insure quality time with Candice.
Wouldn't be surprised if he retires and takes Dumb Buck's place with Aikman over the offseason.

I don't think it's official yet.

IRVING, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys are considering putting quarterback Tony Romo on injured reserve, according to a source.

It's not a surprise because this is something the team has thought about doing for some time.

[Aikmaniac]

I guarantee the delay is due to Tony wanting to play.

Whoops, I posted too soon.

We needed to see if he was going to be ready to play. With an injury of this nature there is no chance of hurting it worse ... once it is healed, it is healed. Putting him on IR when he still had a shot at returning for a few games is what a loser team would do. Gee, lets send a message that this season isn't important enough to risk Romo.

I guarantee the delay is due to Tony wanting to play.

I think both Garrett and Jones wanted him to play as well.
