The Tony Romo era is not over

[Eddie]

I can almost guarantee Tony Romo will get hurt again ... THIS YEAR.

I agree it's not over yet. Dallas has next year and the year after that to get it done with tony. He'll play at least 2 more years. Barring serious injury of course. But they do need to find a young qb. I can't see using a 1,2,3 round pick this offseason or next though. It's win now mode.

It's lose now mode without Romo. You seem to have written off the season.

Ya I gave up after the Saints game with this season but dallas still has 2 more seasons to get a sb win. I'll still root for them like always but it's just not the same this season it's been a bummer.

Because without beating the saints, what does the season matter anyway? It was one freakin' game. So we won't win as many as last season, that doesn't mean the season is lost.

I agree, but injuries happen, it's not like he's Sam Bradford...

Romo has had broken ribs, a broken collarbone, a fractured spine, and a refractured spine all before this injury.

I love Romo but he's not exactly an ironman.

i over being smart. I am aiming for inegm . . . inigm . . ingma . . . a mysterious dude.

I recall a thread before the Atlanta game telling Romo fans to not have a heart attack, but ...
If Dallas was maybe 8-1 or 7-2 when Romo returned due to Weeden tearing it up, should we just go with the hot hand and let Romo ride the bench.
The guy was serious.

I can almost guarantee Tony Romo will get hurt again ... THIS YEAR.

What are you willing to guarantee? His salary? Your salary?

Or are you talking smack with nothing to back it up?

Is Brady going to get hurt, how bout Eli or Rodgers or Palmer?

Regardless if Romo plays another 2 or 3 years at a high level, the Cowboys NEED to draft his eventual replacement. If you recall, our undrafted rookie free agents and 4th thru 7th round guys are not working out too well. Time to start getting serious about the QB position now rather than later.

No i moved the car to avoid a parking fine. i am always one step ahead of the meter maid who in this instance happen to be a meter guy. He think he is so smart because he wear a shirt that say, it say: Farmers Branch Traffic Informant Officer. I feel like sicing mein dog after him.

Without a huge turn of events I don't see this team getting to at least 9 wins. Not impossible but also highly unlikely. There's a ton of issues with the organization and I'm not going to be all negative like I can be. There's enough of that already on here. Just saying that I've personally given up hope on this year. It might turn around it might not. I've been emotionless since the Atlanta game and have hardly watched any football since. I'd be just as happy as the next fan if this season turned around.

Okay but I think your giving up hope is a few games premature. There is the possibility I'll be right there with you by the end of the month.

I just haven't seen anything to keep me having hope this season. That's why I'm not saying anything to the people who still have hope. Everybodies got their own way to look at things.

Maybe you are right.... why am I doing this?

Again, Romo plans on playing for more than a couple of years beyond this season, at least three... We are already a pretty good team, but it would really help our chances of winning a Super Bowl if we use our top draft picks on a stud DT or FS that could come in and be an instant upgrade... Drafting a QB in the first-round and having him sitting on the bench for a minimum of 3 seasons is not going to help us win the Super Bowl with Tony Romo as our QB...

And again, it's very unlikely that you'll draft the next Aaron Rodgers, even if you had the #1 pick... It's much more likely that we'd do what Cleveland did and spend a first-rounder on the next Brandon Weeden...

But there's another scenario that's just as bad, you could spend a high pick on a QB, like Detroit did in 2009 when they took Mathew Stafford #1 overall, and he could show all the promise and potential that Stafford has at times... You know he's a starting-caliber QB, and sometimes he looks really good, but in the end, he's just not quite good enough... He was just good enough to give you just enough hope that your team ended wasting 6+ seasons hoping he'd take that next step but instead he regresses...

Which is worse, Cleveland drafting Weeden and knowing within 2 seasons to cut bait, or being Detroit drafting Stafford, who plays just good enough to string you along for 6+ seasons? I don't like either option, which is why I don't think it's time to start throwing high draft picks at a problem we don't yet have...

It doesn't matter how long Romo plans or wants to play. His health will be the deciding factor. Not having a QB in place to take over will basically waste the other players careers in Dallas if they have to wait on a rookie QB to take over the year following Romo's retirement. It is going to be hard to replace Romo, but it it will be worse not to even attempt to have a QB ready. You have very short term thinking on this topic.

Lol I could be wrong too. Time will tell.
