Romo to speak to the media today at 4:15 CDT

[Tass]

My take is Romo wants to play badly .

One could say that about almost every football player, though.

 

[Rob-G]

That press conference was completely and utterly pointless and unnecessary

 

[mmohican29]

Interesting. I think Tony had been promised the job back and there was a point in time where he knew the hard conversation was coming. He took the burden off of Dak and the team, but I do believe he's decided he will play football again as a starting QB in the NFL. It just may not be as a Dallas Cowboy.

 

[windjc]

I am shocked that this is how they decided to handle this situation! Wow! That's all I can say is wow.


They shouldn't have let him go out there and do that.

Get over it.

 

[SDCowboy]

What I heard was Tony wants his job back, and he'll try to grab it as soon as the opportunity presents itself. Until that time comes, he's going to do his best to help Dak and the Cowboys succeed.

That first part isn't what I heard at all. To me, it sounded like he has come to terms that this is Dak's team now, that he's the backup, and that he's going to help Dak just as he was helped when he took over for a starting QB.

 

[wrongway]

Pure class act!!!!!

 

[Nightman]

Jeeebus they are acting like Magic Johnson just announced he has AIDS

 

[NumOneQB]

He's upset DFW no longer is in his corner. Those 2 wildcard wins have been flushed down the toilet by the 2 rookies and their 8-1 blast out of the gate. Completely unnecessary press conference.....

 

[erod]

There it is! He is accepting the backup job this season...our backup QB troubles are finally over

The problem is, Dak can't win a Super Bowl with this team. He's not ready for Seattle or New England. Romo might be able to pull that off.

 

[Shuff]

And back to our regular programming........weird.

 

[Diehardblues]

One could say that about almost every football player, though.

But for the best QB on the team to stand down is quite admirable.

 

[Tabascocat]

Reading between the line a bit, sounds like he may ask to get one more shot with another team in 2017

 

[JJHLH1]

Romo is very classy. It had to be very difficult for him to go out there and say this is the correct decision by the Cowboys.

 

[BigD5]

Sad day for us Cowboys fans. We just lost the Super Bowl.

No rookie QB has ever won the Super Bowl

 

[Blackspider214]

With 3-13 rosters.

2 wins is 2 wins. The rest is just semantics.

 

[KJJ]

The fact he'll be back in uniform on Sunday ready to play if needed, further points to Dak finishing out the rest of the season unless he gets hurt or starts to struggle.

 

[erod]

What a waste of time.....
He just had to take some of Dak's spotlight.

Yeah, you don't really understand anything, do you.

He did that for Dak. Period.

 

[CATCH17]

Jason Garrett should've been the guy to announce this and any interview with Tony should've just been the standard thing they do at their locker.


This was over the top and not needed. Romo shouldn't have had to put himself out there like that.

 

[Diehardblues]

The problem is, Dak can't win a Super Bowl with this team. He's not ready for Seattle or New England. Romo might be able to pull that off.

I'm not sure Romo can either but I certainly like his chances better.

 

[erod]

2 wins is 2 wins. The rest is just semantics.

No, the rest is football. If you understand it, that is.

Dak would go 2-14 on those teams.
