Romo worshipers, don't bust an artery, but what if the Cowboys are 9-1?

Yes, I'm about to commit blasphemy.....

Just imagine that the Cowboys are 9-1, perhaps even 10-0, by the time Tony Romo can get back on the field. Brandon Weeden is the top rated QB in the league, the Cowboys have the #1 offense and they are on a roll, an inevitable collision course with Super Bowl 5X.

Their next game is Thanksgiving against the Carolina Panthers, 8-2, and the 2nd best record in the NFC behind the Cowboys. Homefield advantage for the playoffs could very well depend on the outcome of this game.

Weeden's rise has been the story of this season....

Do you sit him and start Tony Romo, fresh from an injury, his ability to perform at his typical level in question?

Suppose Weeden continues to excel?

Notice, I never said that Tony Romo would perform poorly, I never said that he wouldn't perform like an All Pro future Hall o Famer. I'm just suggesting that his abilities would be unknown due to the effects of the injury, still not completely healed, he could perhaps be a tad rusty.

If Weeden leads the Cowboys to a Super Bowl, heck, just mentioning the possibility.....

Would that be a good thing or a bad thing for you Romo worshipers.

And am I officially a hater for daring to dream that Weeden might actually perform at a very high level with this offense?

Let the paranoid condemnation begin.....

What if Brice Butler averages 7 touchdowns, 24 catches and 305 yards per game while Dez is out? Should he continue being the #1 option? Okay, sure, yeah... why not? But it seems like a pretty ridiculous thing to speculate and spurn on an argument about.

You put Romo back in and you don't think twice about it. He's been our franchise QB for many years with a career passer rating second in NFL history.

It's not like Romo is Rob Johnson. Drew Bledsoe isn't even as good as Romo. This is not a case of having an above average QB and then replacing him with a franchise QB. Romo is a franchise QB, third in MVP voting last year.

Won't happen but I'm a fan of rolling with the hot hand. If he's dooing that good you have to roll with him.

I would play Weeden 1 more game and then let Romo start on Thanksgiving, so he doesn't go on 4 days rest. Just because Weeden went 6-1 or 7-0, Romo went 2-0 and would still give us the best chance at winning a championship. Then I would celebrate the fact that we would have a great backup for the next couple of years.

I would alternate them, sending each QB in with the play he's supposed to run. I'm assuming we'll play NE in the Super Bowl and I don't want them stealing our transmissions, so I'm sending the play in via courier - and while he's there he might as well run it.

Good god someone woke up HUNTING for something to get mad about. How about we do something really strange and just play it out first?

Romo worshipers, huh?

Trying to figure out if this is a Romo-hate thread or Weeden-love thread.

Both concepts boggle the mind.

He hates the fans he considers to only care about Romo and not the Cowboys overall. So it's not Romo-hate or Weeden-love. It's fan hate. He thinks they are not true fans, as he is the only judge of true fandom.

I actually don't think there is any such thing as Weeden-love, unless that's his mom posting.
