Talking Cowboys 3.14 (Romo)

[ShiningStar]

What's

have to do with Romo and Talking Cowboys?

the answer is always pie.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jerry actually floated that trial balloon out there to stir the pot and force the Texans to play their hand. They did. Big ... time.

That Jerry. The old coot still got it.

He probably did. Or he knew Tony's side was going to do the video to try to drum up early interest.

Honestly, I can't figure out what the Texans are doing. They're the one's who look silly right now. Jettisoning the bad QB from last season--with a pick--and then trying to sit tight with Tom Savage. Nobody believes that's your plan, guys. If you really want to wait until May or later to get your guy, go for it. Let's hope for your sake no other good teams end up wanting to make a deal. Because there's nobody on the market remotely near Tony's level of ability out there.

They should be counting themselves fortunate he's a legitimate option and just lock him up. It won't take much for Denver to blink, or for a team nobody expects, like Jacksonville, to step up to the plate. Sooner or later, somebody's going to make a move for him.

The Romo era is over, deal with it. Even if we see him as the starter, the club screwed up again. Its Daks team. Either jump off the ledge or find another team, this team should be pointing up, not sideways to make some fans happy.

It's not really about the Romo era in Dallas. Though I don't agree that there's no chance he remains here. It is really, really unlikely, though.

 

[JoeKing]

And how are they gonna compete? In practice, where the defense doesn't hit? Or in preseason. When teams go vanilla in offense/defense. I myself think Dak would win. He'll have much better knowledge of the offense and more confidence in his game.

This thread has absolutely nothing to do with the Romo era.

People are allowed to follow the team and have a different opinion than yours, BTW.

even if he wanted to start, i say let Jerry say "yes Tony, right on, come on my boy" and walk with him right out of the building. give him a map and get back to business. And i was a romo fan before it was cool to be one. its over. thats it. Its Daks team now we screwed Dak and EE hard, now we gotta repent and hope we do right by it.

yes they do, but the facts are going to be that. Its Daks team, we didnt draft him to sit the bench and right now, even if you get the stat boys, how do you explain sitting Dak for Romo? One hit and its a bigger chance Romo goes down for good. Dak is younger, and injury isnt high its going to keep him down long. Dak has the team going right and lets all be honest, we dont hold our breath every time he throws it. Loved Romo but father time marches on. ALl players should accept the inevitable when they scream "its business" and thats true, in this business age is not your friend.

Dak could study 18 hours a day every day until the start of the season and he'd still be no where near Romo's league in recognizing opposing defenses.

This is not a knock on Dak it's just lack of experience.

how many hours does Romo have in film study and yet throws that 1 interception? thats not a knock on Romo, its just fact.

I think it would be a colossal mistake to leave him on the roster going into training camp. The circus and distraction of having these media dweebs pushing themselves into Dak's face twice a day to ask about how he feels about Romo isn't worth it.

This will happen all over the locker room with every other player, some of which like Witten will be biased due to personal relationships, and they will take a quote and run it over to someone and play a big game of sloppy telephone, just like when TO was here.

This just isn't worth the 5th round pick everyone seems to think is the big prize here. Get it done by the end of April or cut him loose, period.

Let's try for 15 pages this time........

 

[LatinMind]

Just hold a QB competition this offseason and let the best player win. I think Romo wins it, but I'm not sure how many games he would end up starting due to his age and recent injuries. I think Dak would handle being Romo's backup fine.

from how they express their views on romo even mickey, none of them even mention a offer of hope of romo as a starter in dallas. seems like dallas has turned the page with dak as their guy.

Ya, Dak completing 68% of his passes had so much trouble recognizing defenses.

I don't know what you mean about screwing Dak and EE, but that's whatever. I could see it playing out a couple of different ways. Least likely would be the team letting Tony have a shot at the starting job in camp. I know everybody says that can't happen, but I don't see why it couldn't. Both Tony and Dak are the types of players who could live with a direct competition. There ought to be no shame for either guy to lose to the other, since they're both very good. And any deal would be for a one-year deal, only, after which Tony would have to move on as the contract becomes prohibitive. I know everybody says you can't sit Dak, but I'm not sure you can't. Tony's already proven he can be a good soldier with the situation calls for it.

The other option is just for Tony to take the clipboard, collect a big backup check, and enjoy the ride. Sure, he wants to play for a contender, but if a contender doesn't want him, then it's backup in Dallas or starter somewhere crappy. He probably prefers starter somewhere crappy, but with two kids, a pregnant wife, and the team contending right now, that backup gig in Dallas is not the worst deal in the world. He could end up with a Cinderella season as an injury replacement for the starter, you never know. Or a backup with a ring who only played in mop-up duty.

Like I said, I know both of these options are very unlikely, but they're probably both things he's giving some consideration to as he walks through everything in his head.

Romo knows the whole playbook like the back of his hand and is the most confident guy on the team. Dak does good to get Linehan's game plan down week to week. No rookie, even ROY is going to have more confidence than Romo does at quarterbacking this team. Dak got the job because Romo and Kellen Moore got hurt, he doesn't have that advantage anymore.

 

[LOBO7]

Texans have a legit shot at a super bowl NEXT year with Romo in exchange for a 3rd or 4th round pick.
That is the definition of what risk vs reward is all about. Have some nad and pull the trigger.

Poor Dak. Didn't know he had to face the '84 Bears defense this season in every game. Only Romo knows how to beat that d.
