Romo will remain on active roster

Tells me Jerry's listening to Romo instead of the doctors

Hey Jerry my back is fine sign me to a huge contract

as cowboy fans this is all the hope we have for this season is that tony comes back sooner than expected because a rookie with this defense and coaching are not taking the cowboys to the playoffs with tony there is a chance slim chance but a chance

If Romo is cleared by the doctors and if he can play in game 5. Here are a few ways to look at it.
Much depends on our record as well as Dak's play and progress.
If Dak is playing lights out, play Dak, give Tony another week or 2.
If Dak is struggling then play Romo.
If Dak is playing decent but not great, and we are 3-1 or 2-2, start Dak, but have Tony ready to go in.
If Dak is playing is not so good, and we are 3-1 or 2-2, still start him, and have Tony ready.
If Dak is struggling and we are 1-3, play Tony.

They want him for that home divisional game vs Philly

1. sure they do, but how do you explain them letting him come back with the CB not fully healed last year ?
2. His playing days are not over, but they need to play dak and see what he can do, and let tony fully heal.If dak flops play sanchez see what you have there.
3.admirable, but stupid, it was a preseason game lol and no one including tony knew what had happened. Kudos to JG there for saying no.
Had that been a real game tony probably goes back in and possibly makes it worse,

It's well known they knew the CB was at risk when he returned last year. It was a move made in desperation to salvage the season. They knew the risks and it didn't work out.

If it's six weeks to heal and you figure two weeks to get in game shape that would have him starting against the Eagles, just don't think the Packers game is realistic.

Dak VS Wentz

Get in shape for what? He's not a receiver.

Romo can start throwing after about three weeks. He's moving fine right now.

Romo will be ready by the 49ers game, I'll be there and keep an eye on him. Last time I saw a game there, Romo cracked his ribs and came back to win in OT. Looking forward to another big surprise.

I read yesterday that Tony Romo will be wearing a back brace for another week.

He should be able to resume throwing once the brace comes off.

Well, at least Jerry didn't listen to you and draft Johnny Manziel.

 

[Nightman]

So let's lose a few weeks if he's healthy?

For someone 54th man. For a guy who likely doesn't even dress?

Gee. Franchise QB for an extra game or two or some Zoner's pet cat?

Step back and actually think about what you are talking about.

How many times you need to see the guy play in situations where most players would not before you're willing to admit he's a guy whose going to push the limits?

We'll see who's right, but keeping him on the active roster should give you a clue as to what they're thinking the timetable probably is.

A couple wide-eyed optimists.........obviously you can't even remember last year......denial is fun

And yes Abe, every spot on the 53 means someone is not exposed to waivers....losing a player to stroke Tony's ego is stupid.......think before you post

 

[Nightman]

This is not good. This is so not good. This puts Dr. Jerry Jones in charge of when Romo returns. And add to that the fact Romo also thinks he has 5 more years left. That's a bad combo of doctor and patient in terms of their judgement and rushing Romo back too soon. Last year Dez came back to soon and we all know what happened when Romo came back. Surprised so many think this is good news. Maybe it would be without Dr. Jones.

Romo wanted to come back in against SEA....this was after writhing in pain and grabbing his back on the field.....you could see the pain and the fear on his face....... he was watching Dak take his job and was willing to risk his long-term health to go back into a pre-season game.....what do you think he'll do for a real game....'just a flesh wound'

Oh yes. Let me "think" like others on this board. Perhaps I'll rant about how we should have put in a waiver claim for some scrub who I've heard of (so, you know he's gotta be good).

Or should I think like you? I'll get the one brain cell needed fired up right away.

I've become skeptical of all "hope Romo recovers from injury just in time for the playoff push" plans.

Other posters are obviously more informed than you are....I know you think that can't happen but it does...... you were completely schooled last week about a topic I can't recall but you keep coming back for more........that is something

 

[DandyDon1722]

And if Dak starts 4-1 or God forbid 5-0 then what? I say let Tony live the rest of his life being able to walk and play with his kids.

If Dak starts 4-1 or 5-0 with our defense...as a rookie?

Well, you can start working clearing space on the Ring Of Honor, his bust in Canton and start making room for more Lombardi's. After his preseason and that kind of start he would be the real deal and we would be one of the most fortunate franchises in NFL history.

And I would also agree with you to let Tony spend more healthy times with his kids.

Right. Since I don't have pet cats that I crow about who are nothing but practice squad junk, I don't know anything.

We don't have to have a serious conversation about this topic if you can't be bothered to characterize things fairly, but the fact that he's not on IR at all makes it pretty obvious who's being realistic about the extent of his injury and who's indulging an a preseason-inspired fantasy about the future of the QB position.
