Romo will remain on active roster

Richmond Cowboy · Sep 6, 2016

Romo "not really" going on IR per Jerry:

by the time tony gets back to be able to play it will be like last year there wont be anything left to play for. if dallas had a really good defense they could win some games while he is out but they don't and a rookie is not going to be able to win games like tony would of had to do to cover for them.

He broke his back. Lets stop calling it a compression fracture to try and soften the blow.

He's going to be back sooner than is being speculated in the press.

Because you are a doctor or because you wanted to pump up your likes?

Doesn't change his prognosis, but it's good news. Romo will armor up as soon as there is no risk other than pain and be back out there.

The best news would for Dak to be sooo special that we never have to rely on an injury prone, aging, brittle QB again. As unlikely as that may be it would be the best thing for the team going forward.

And if Romo comes back and can stay healthy and plays like 2014 all over again, that would be great also.

I don't understand the logic of NOT keeping him on the active roster. Why give his roster spot to a 3rd or 4th string player who won't see the field? If Romo is fine by week 6 then you just screwed yourself.

Good decision to not put him on IR

David Carr had two compression fractures and missed less than a month. It's up in the air, but it won't be 10 weeks.

Romo is 15-4 the past two years. They will want him back as quickly as possible.

I have no doubt I am in the minority. Two scenarios I would have no problem with:

1. Prescott is so good we never look back
2. Prescott plays great, Romo comes back and is his old, non brittle, great passing self.

The worst case scenario would be the following:

1. Dak shows he is just a rookie and struggles. Romo comes back too soon, is rusty, then gets hurt again and our season is toast.

Dont under estimate Dak. And Romo wasnt playing great last year when he did play. And Zeke will need to earn his draft position and is waaaaay better than the hapless McChicken was. I see us being competitive in the first 4 games with a shot win every one. 2-2 would be very nice. 3-1 would be incredible.

Romo is 36 years old. And you dont want them to rush him back too soon.

This is definitely not your worst case scenario.

Neither. Great question though! Thanks for asking.

Nice baseless psychobabble. I love story time.

He went into the game with punctured lungs, cracked ribs, etc without your fantasy scenario even being possible. Kinda belies your narrative a bit.

Hey Pot I'd like you to meet Kettle........no not Black, it's Kettle

What baseless psychobabble have I laid out? I laid out circumstances that were mutually exclusive with your explanation.

Nice flail though.

Because injuries happen at other positions.......Tapper also has a back injury and after Week 1 so will a couple other players......at some point we will have to IR a player or cut a contributor because of Romo..... we are already carrying 2 QBs with Sanchez so it is really 2 spots Romo is costing us

Everything you have ever said about other posters Judgy McJudgerton.......you are quick to point fingers and make baseless judgements about people without looking inward at your own bs......remember when you point your finger a someone else 3 more fingers are pointing back at you.....

Bkight13, if an injury occurs at another position most teams will release their 53rd or 52nd player to make room for a replacement. In Dallas, that would likely be Swanson, Wilcox, Rod or Keith Smith and possibly others before you get to Romo. Being able to get your franchise QB back sooner than expected allows for this tactic I believe. Dakota is promising but we don't know what he is yet. Worry about the guys lower on the roster instead of Romo's spot who I'm sure is somewhere in the top 10 on the roster.

You know this though bkight13...you generally are on point (meaning make points I agree with or agree with my points). What's going on brother? LOL!

I think it may be Swanson or Wilcox.

Romo will remain on active roster
