Oh . . . I heard other things . . . Like Romo would literally be a Paraplegic next hit He took. . . Or you cant rock the Boat . . . A lot of these stupid ideas were coming from a Coach that believed He actually is a Genius. . .
If truth be told Everyone had their reasons to throw Room under the bus.
Jerry was blinded by the Future
Jason was finally being recognized for his imput, rather then Coaching Romo who Always changed the plays, Garrett got coach of the year
Typical Cowboy Fans all sounded Like Skip. . . bunch of no nothings agreeing with the Mainstream Media that it was the Wisest decision to not go back to Romo.
Everyone Parroting what the Talking heads proclaimed. Knowing that everyone hated Romo and the Cowboys and especially their Fans
There was no "right" answer. They went with Dak and his inexperience showed. But in a sense there was precedent for the decision, many years ago but just an example.
I forget the year, it was late in Staubach's tenure, he'd been out with a concussion (if memory serves) for several games, his replacement wasn't playing well, so they put him in late in the game, and he rallied the team to a win. (San Francisco playoff game maybe?). So they started him the next week, and he was awful, the game was lost.
Romo had been out so long he very well could have "stunk up the joint" and the Cowboys would have lost. Same as with Dak at the helm. Both Roger and Romo both were experienced vets at the time the decision was made, if Roger was rusty Romo could also have been.
It's one of those "we'll never know" situations...
