Screw the Rest of the League. Keep Tony

[Beast_from_East]

You don't make your 23 year old franchise quarterback who just won 13 games compete for his job. It's tasteless.

Well this 23 year old franchise QB also went "one and done" as the first seed in the playoffs.

Just saying we might want to hold off on building that statue of him outside the stadium for awhile........maybe see if he can win a playoff game or two before then.

 

[Beast_from_East]

We don't owe Romo 24m, that is his cap hit.......his salary is 14m but isn't guaranteed
We could cut Sept 1st and he gets nothing from us

He would do it because more money would be guaranteed and you skipped over the part about huge incentives for games started but he would also be facing reality that staying in DAL as a bak up is better than going to BUFF and getting killed....not saying he should do it but it is a good option

Lay off the theatrics and use your brain

Romo said in his presser that the desire to play burned even greater than before..........Romo is not going to be anybody's backup

Anybody using their brain and their ears would understand that..................Romo would wipe his arse with your "good option" of being Dak's backup.

That is not theatrics, that is reality.

The Cowboys went with DAK. Coaches evaluated the situation and decided to stay with DAK when they were both healthy. They thought DAK gave us the best chance to win. DAK won the starting job over Tony Romo while Romo was hurt. Romo did not take it back. What is incorrect about this ⬆️ You might disagree with the coaches but that is what they decided.

There is a lot of assumption here about what the coaches thought. You don't beat someone out when they are hurt though.

 

[OldCoach]

the rookies will cost 1.7m and Martin is under contract thru 2018 but keep insulting others

You save money and have more flexibility. You have the ability to extend Martin to a multi year deal. We are in 2017 now you know. Also you get flexibility for making future moves.

If the guys gonna call em all caps guy that's fine. I'm gonna call him non reader. And I guess I would hurt your feelings by calling you Mr. Sensitivity. .

In sports you are wrong. Happens all the time. Ask Bledsoe. Ask Jerry. I guarantee you he wanted Romo to play.

Folks wanna keep mentioning DAK Prescott lost the playoff game.

Tony Romo playoff record. 2-4

Folks wanna keep mentioning DAK Prescott lost the playoff game.

Tony Romo playoff record. 2-4

And he has never played on a team as good as the current Cowboy team. Dak has never won a playoff game.

 

[rambo2]

And you obviously think it was Daks fault when he dropped 300 yards 3tds-1int and played an almost perfect fourth quarter. The defense getting steamrolled in the first half had no impact.

Did you watch the game? Or were you watching Romo on the bench thinking about what might have been.

Spiking the ball wasn't perfect. It was a bad move. Romo is a great player. It is downright dumb for any cowboy fan to want to get rid of him. That would weaken the team.

Well.

This is a surprise.

 

[OldCoach]

And he has never played on a team as good as the current Cowboy team. Dak has never won a playoff game.

In 2014 Murray rushed for 1847 yards and we had 16 interceptions as a defense

In 2007 we had 1600+ rushing yards, 46 sacks,
19 ints.

You Tony Worshipers keep throwing around those alternative facts and fake news.

Save the Drama for your Mama....you don't know what Romo wants any more than I do

 

[OldCoach]

I don't blame Romo at all. Romo carried a lot of those teams on his shoulders no doubt.

I always loved Romo still do. Just time to move on. It's not a personal thing at all. With a Super Bowl win he would be in the Hall of Fame and I think he deserves it anyways.

If Prescott and Romo were not the primary reasons for their team losing in their respective playoff seasons, why, in that sense, mention Romo after someone mentions Prescott? Two wrongs make a right?

Just pointing out the flaws in their argument. You are right though. Both have performed well. I just prefer the young guy with more value over the vet that is near the end. They are comparable as players with DAK was a rookie and Romo is a vet.

No you just have to earn your stripes around here newbie.....you haven't earned the right to insult anyone, especially with nonsense

When Martin gets extended next year or in season his cap number will go down for 2018 and will be low for a couple seasons

Why is it time to move on when Romo has had the highest qb rating in the league over the last 3 seasons? He is at the top of his game.

DAK has the best passer rating over the last 2 seasons for the Cowboys . Fake news with alternative facts at it again.

I respect your evaluation and appreciation of Prescott but that's not why I replied. Your counterargument for 'their' flaw is flawed. Both players were starting quarterbacks of teams where teammates underachieved and coaches did not make proper adjustments in a timely matter. Thus, the Dallas Cowboys led by Prescott are 0-1 in his career and the Dallas Cowboys led by Romo are 2-4 in his career.

So, does saying ROMO was 2-4 in the playoffs somehow invalidate someone's statement that PRESCOTT is 0-1 in the playoffs? Both are inappropriate labels placed upon both men.

As an aside, everyone (my generalization means the world) commenting about football should remove Major League Baseball/pitching labels from conversation. Quarterbacks aren't pitchers, whose skills face off against nine guys basically alone. Quarterbacks don't throw no-hitters or shutouts. Pitchers playing half an inning (i.e. a possession) in a game have an opportunity to totally shut down the opposing team all by themselves. Yeah, pitchers also benefit from defense when they get hitters to pop up or hit ground balls, IF they don't strike out a hitter, but a pitcher's defensive help doesn't really compare to the various responsibilities of football defensive players every down.

Quarterbacks? Every down, quarterbacks need linemen to provide them with enough time to throw. Every down, quarterbacks need running backs to run averaging 3 1/2 yards or greater. Every down, quarterbacks need receivers running adequate routes and catch catchable passes. If a quarterback does not get his teammates to do their jobs every down, their game is basically neutered. Heck, even Michael Vick in his heyday (or Cam Newton more recently) couldn't remotely beat teams by himself.

Sorry about the ramble. Labeling quarterbacks with win/loss records is lame and not too bright regardless of who does it. That should be a baseball thang only.

I agree that losing some games doesn't define a quarterback. Again, I'm a Cowboys fan and have supported Romo through thick and thin. But, I am a Cowboys fan first.

Someone simply stated Romo never played on a team this good. I pointed out he did in 2007 and 2014.

Someone stated that DAK as the starter caused us to lose. There is nothing to support that and Tony has lost games as well.

Is everything on the qbs shoulders? Of course not. If you're a football fan though and don't correlate winning teams to quarterback play, you don't know a lot about football. Where are all the great qbs on horrible franchises that constantly lose? I think if you haven't figured this out already you are lame and not that bright.
