The Dak question is a very simple one

[Gabe]

1) We already have one of the best NFL offenses. Why risk the change of what is already working?
2) Continue to develop Dak. He is clearly our future and he and Zeke are very close off the field as well. Let them continue to build chemistry. Like Terry Bradshaw said, if any of the vets on the team have a problem with it, they will have to get over it.
3) Romo was wrinkled and washed up in 2015. He would have 11 INTs in 6 games. Dak has ZERO so far. 2016 Romo is even more wrinkled, slow, and washed up. HUGE risk his performance could be far worse. Did I mention what we have is ALREADY working?
4) Romo is a career loser. 2 playoff wins. Mark Sanchez has 4, Colin Kaepernick 4, Dan Marino 8, etc... He couldnt get it done in his prime, what makes anyone think he could get it done now that he is old wrinkled, slow, and over the hill? It is a serious question you have to ask yourself.

Why is anyone making sticking with Dak a difficult decision? I know there are those out there who put individual above team... There are also a few fans enamored with failure, they are all about Romo. But for the very few unbiased fans who say Romo should get another shot, how would you respond?

I've stated this ad nauseam - Keep playing Dak. If there is a slump or need for momentum change, then bring in Romo. Broncos did this last year with Osweiler.

Also - what if Pats went back to Bledsoe. I agree with not messing if it is working. More games to see what happens.

Even Drew Bledsoe had more career playoff wins than Romo. Romo's playoff career is the same as Ken Anderson. Who is Ken Anderson? Played for the Bengals, lost his starting job to Boomer Esiason at age 36. However, he actually reached a SB unlike Romo. Who remembers the Bengals of the late 70s and early 80s? That is what the Cowboys have been under Romo. Mind blowing right?

You could much more easily justify sticking with Bledsoe over Brady instead of Romo over Dak. The Patriots were smart and did the right thing... We see how it turned out for them.

With most people of this generation always expecting the Cowboys to lose, I fully expect the Cowboys to continue that course and go with Romo.

Romo will be the starter. Enjoy

You may enjoy losing. I don't.

Romo will get his job back. Romo will get hurt and that will be the end of it.

Agree, gotta wonder at what cost though. I truly feel Dak could win it all with this group. Romo, zero chance.

Romo's team. Can't wait.

I have no doubt Romo will start again. This is Tony's team. But I am skeptical he will start before the Brown's game. Which I believe is a good thing because it will allow him to shake off the rust of live action. But against an opponent who shouldn't be a real threat.

Then he has a team surrounding him that can win. And Romo can open up some of the passing game we are not seeing as yet.

However, Aikman asked the question in an article in the Dallas Morning News, what part of the offense will Romo actually bring into play. I did not get to read the article, only the title, so who knows what Aikman's position was or the determination at the end of the piece.

But this is Tony's team. However, regardless of the outcome of the Packer's game, I want to see Dak and Wentz head up and Dallas hand the Eagles their butt.

What are fans going to say after Dak has already PROVEN to be effective against some of the NFLs best defenses and wrinkled slow Romo struggles against winless Cleveland? Or God forbid gives Cleveland their first win?

Cleveland has looked competitive in some recent games. Dallas still has an average defense and wrinkled slow Romo is a pick 6 machine.

I thought it was America's team

How much attention does your (disrespectful) take on this topic really need? We get it. You love Dak and have apparently never seen Romo play.

I have seen Romo since he started. Has won 2 playoff games since. He is now old, wrinkled, and slow. I just want to see this team win and I KNOW there is only one QB on the roster who can do this. Possibly two if you consider Sanchez who has twice the amount of playoff wins with far less opportunities and resources.

I think to answer your question more directly, as long as we have fans who want to see this team run into the ground by Romo I will continue pointing out facts. Again, im tired of seeing this team lose. We have been worse than the 70s-80s Bengals over Romo's tenure. I think any reasonable fan would agree it is time to turn the page on this failed chapter. I don't want to see wasted potential either. That's fair enough right?

No one here can go on anything but the past with Romo. The future for both of these guys (Dak and Romo) is unknown. Dak could go into a shell and become the rookie so many around the league are waiting for. Doubtful, but nobody knows. Romo could hit the ground running and with Elliott and the line and a healthy Dez put up 34 points a game. We just don't know.

But if you are suggesting from what we have seen in the past with Romo indicates he can't get it done, and we all agree that is what we are basing opinions on, then I believe you are wrong about your assessment.

There are forty-five players who suit up each week for Dallas. It takes all forty-five to be successful. While I agree Romo has his share of miscalculations, and throwing errors which caused losses. To suggest he is the sole reason for this team not having success ignores so many other things from Jerry Jones mismanagement, to scouting, drafting, head coaches, coaches in general, weak defenses, and game plans and play calling, plus the other forty-four players who had a huge hand in the morass we have seen over a decade.

But some of these issues were here long before Romo suited up for this team. And in some cases, you can make an argument the only reason the team won a specific game or many games throughout his tenure is because of #9.

None of us want to waste potential. And frankly, this season, as bright as it's been is still a work in progress.

But have a healthy Jaylon Smith, perhaps a nice off-season DE pick-up, a good draft for defense (CB, LB, DT or DE) and the addition of one stout WR across from Dez to replace Williams, and an OT, and 2017 is the year this team goes to the NFC Championship game.

Now who leads them at quarterback is a guess for all of us. But I believe this team will break through next year and dominate the NFC, and be in position to get #6.

My feeling is it will be Dak who takes over for Romo after an injury in 2017, just like this year. But that is an opinion-based thought from looking at age and susceptibility to injury. But not Romo's skill set. Unless father Time says he's done, Romo still can sling it like few can and have before him.

Sorry you don't agree, Gabe.

If Dak plays well again and the Cowboys get a rare win at Lambeau, I can't sit him. That's not a knock on Romo, it's about not messing with something that is working.

So....a ridiculous amount of attention then. Got it.
