The underlying non-issue issue backwash

[erod]

Another scenario would hold that Romo comes back but is not still 100% and rusty. The team refuses to pull him out of loyalty and they lose games because he's not all the way back.
People assume he's going to come back and play like 2014, when he hasnt played that well in a while

They'll give him two games max to get it in gear. If he's physically capable, he will. If not, he won't. Simple as that.

Dak is the future of this team, that is not in question anymore. But man I will be awfully curious what teams that are desperately seeking a franchise QB in the offseason are going to be offering us for Dak if Romo is able to play out the season

note: this is just out of curiosity, I am in no way, shape, or form advocating we deal Dak for picks or any other transaction

There is nothing worth another 20 years of no backup QB, IMO. Either way this plays out.

ESPECIALLY when it seems Dallas has stumbled on a fourth round mother lode................You just can't do that.

Plus, factor in that Dallas has a starter for 4 years at the cost of a bag of Funyuns and a Mountain Dew.

oh i completely agree, what I'm saying is I wonder what teams will be offering, because it's going to happen if Romo plays out the rest of the season with no injury

Exactly, you know the saying a bird in the hand is worth more than 2 in the bush ??
Well dak is in the hand, and tony is the 2 in the bush.

We dont know what will happen if tony takes over , it is impossible to predict.
Another saying is "if it aint broke dont fix it !"

First Dak needs to win the next 2 games to prove he can beat good teams,playoff teams from last year.
So let wait and see if he can do that.

I do feel sorry for Dak, in that the pressure on him is enormous , I dont think most people have thought about how
much pressure is on Dak.
Dak wants to win, and he wants to be the starter, he isnt just looking at this as a temporary thing filling in for Tony.
So that puts even more pressure on him to win the games.

Having won 3 in a row, other players are now starting to step up and they have to like winning after last year.

I am just going to root for him to win the next 2 games, then we will see what the genius Jones boys do.

Even Jimmy won't convince people here. Why listen to him? What has he done?

 

[Idgit]

We've beaten it to death. Dez is what he is, but he's all-in on Sunday, so we'll just ride it out. He's getting old, and won't probably be here three seasons from now anyway.

What, you don't want to write anything about that one time Dez missed an MRI, some fans collectively lost their **** for very little reason and then nothing whatsoever happened as a result? Yeah, maybe that wouldn't make for a very interesting thread for anybody outside of the Rant Zone.

Explorer does not show it had to use chrome. What he said was because of the teams Dallas will be facing and the trouble with the defense the Cowboys will need more fire power and feels Romo can do that. He goes on to say Romo may throw an int here or there but he will put up points.

My own take has not changed and that is if Romo can come back and play at a higher level than Dak then get Romo out there if he is not then make the change to Dak.

I understand both sides of the argument and I can honestly say I like both of these QB very much and which ever guy is giving this team the best chance to win then that is who I want out there.
I don't make it personal just interested in this team winning.

 

[Diehardblues]

What an incredibly healthy situation we have.

The Cowboys aren't going back into the dark and gloomy ice age once the Romo era is over .

Oh wait, we've been in the dark and gloomy ice age. LOL

Romo just provided some highlite reels .

 

[Diehardblues]

There's always a fine line knowing when to make a change looking for the next spark and a winning chemistry.

Experience tells us the savy veteran is the logical choice. I think we'll know with our own eye test soon enough.

My concern is the powers that be making the final decisions are influenced by more than the priority of winning football games and what's always best for the chemistry on the field or they wouldn't still be sitting in the sky box running football operations.

To me, it's just so plainly obvious.

Dak won't be offended, nor will the team. Everybody sees the logic in this, and if Romo's days are done, it'll be clear to everyone and they'll move on to Dak. No problem.

It might be clear to all of us. My concern is how long will Uncle Jerry hang on?

Irreparable damage could be done if Dak is benched for no reason other than Romo is healthy. You have to factor how many have viewed the way the Cowboys have been run for the last 8 - 10 years. Pay attention to the things players have said on their way out the door. Do not discount how cozy Jones, Garrett, Romo, Witten and to a lesser extent Murray have been over the years. If this is about FOOTBALL....and this FOOTBALL team wins the next 2 games against Cincy and Green Bay. It would make ZERO FOOTBALL sense to bench Dak.

It would send the wrong message to these young players if all the momentum THEY have created is completely pushed aside for NON FOOTBALL reasons. This is the organizations chance to show they are back to making FOOTBAL the #1 priority. Again all this hinges on them continuing to win and Dak continuing to play well...which is what we ALL should want!

The reason is that Romo is the better player (by quite a bit). There's no irreparable damage done by playing the best player on the team when he is healthy.

Do you want a solid but safe offense like you would get from the Alex Smith's of the world, or do you want an elite offense?

Dak's has done well, but he still has a long way to go. It's not his time...yet.

Dak knows he is the backup for now and has stated that, when Romo is healthy he knows Romo is starting. Some fans will have an issue with that I get that. I'm good with either guy but I do feel Romo brings more fire power to the offense at this stage. As for Dak I'm very excited about his future and the future of this franchise with him at QB

 

[erod]

Jerry feels indebted to Tony because he knows how wrong he's done his quarterback during his tenure.

I think it'll be injury-related, or not. I don't doubt Tony can still move the team like he did before. My doubts lie in his ability to take the hits required to do the job. That's what we'll find out.

Jerry won't really have an input if that's the case.
