This is how injury prone Romo is

[GimmeTheBall!]

The fact is, Romo is NOT 26 years old. When 3 300lb men come falling down on Romo, I hope he survives. I really do.

Right you are, mate, re the age factor.

 

[fortdick]

And when you toss up those stats trying to prove Father Time wrong, you ignore that he is getting older. That his body isn't as youthful and his recovery isn't as quick.

Can he play a complete season? Sure he can.

In a game where violence is the focal point is he more susceptible at this age to get hurt.

Probably.

One last point. Injury prone. What does that mean exactly?

It means, I want my pet cat and I can't think of anything else to knock about Romo.

 

[CowboyRoy]

No one at any position plays the whole season at 100%, except maybe the kickers maybe. so your response is null and void. Romo is not old and brittle and he is not injury prone. We have plenty of time for Dak

Ok dokie. Whatever pleases you.

Sooooooo what was that you were saying about Romo?

Talk about a dose of reality real fast eh?

Personally, I am done with the Romo era. Tired of saying "if Romo stays healthy".

And certainly they play of Prescott is helping with that.

Tell yourself whatever you need to in order to avoid the facts and the truth of the matter. Romo's clavicle has been broken three times - recurring. That's the definition of the word and a fact. And a recurring injury is defined as "chronic". Not some fan fiction fantasy. There's no "time constraint" that gets you or him off the hook. It is what it is.

The only people here with an "agenda" are those who can't bear to deal with the reality of the situation and would prefer to lie to themselves and anybody else who will listen that the issues don't exist. That's the "agenda" happening here.



There's no "battlefield", because there's no "battle", because there's nothing to fight over. The facts are the facts, and the hopes are the hopes. I'll deal with the facts.

Dude...he got you.
I know it sucks but he got you.

I guess that sinus infection I had as a baby and then again when I was 36 means I now have chronic sinus infections.

We all know Romo is 36 has had a few surgeries and could get injured again like any player can.
What are you saying we should do with him? When he is in the game he is one of the best QB's in the game who reads defenses and makes defenses pay for blitzes ect. I guess you think we should just cut him?

Tell yourself whatever you need to. Cover your eyes all day long if that's what you need to do. But, like everybody else, you don't get to cover anyone else's eyes.

No. That another lie that Cowboys fans will tell themselves in order to think that things are the same for everybody. Guess what? They're not. And they haven't been since 2006. 27 games missed, when other quarterbacks aren't missing any. Deal with it.

I haven't said that anywhere, but feel free to make up lies in order to attack me. But when your quarterback misses much more time than everyone else's, a wise move would be to plan accordingly for that circumstance happening again.

I find it pretty ironic that you'd pull this topic up again after last night...

 

[DenCWBY]

I am worried about his collarbone because it is now a target and teams will go after him and try to land on him. It does not matter if the collarbone is fixed. You can still easily break it with a 300 lb guy driving his weight on you laying on the ground.

This is a done deal. The Giants are going to feast on this if he plays. Everyone knows how poorly the team plays without Romo. In comes the aire apparent Dak. Hate to see Romo go out this way but the back (his back) will never be consistently well until he stops playing.

 

[perrykemp]

\ Either way, it's the back that we should be more concerned about.

Do we know if Romo still takes an injection to his back before every game?

Wow stop being so insecure. I ask you if you think we should cut him and you go off about making things up to attack you...haha...just because you are paranoid does not mean they aren't after you.

So what is involved with planning accordingly? Should we be trading for another QB? I ask again...what should we do..give specifics. What do you want to do with Romo. Who are you trading for?

I eagerly await your next post where you avoid answer the question and go off in bold.

We're saying, grow up, open your eyes and learn to think for yourself (oh, and put down the Pom poms)

A 36 year old QB with a history of back and shoulder surgeries who had been getting days off practice last year is unlikely to play a single full season of a collision sport let alone 5 seasons

That's not what you did. Not at all. Don't try to reliant the picture after the fact. You tried to project something to me that I never came close to saying "I guess you think we should just cut him?" You tried to give yourself something to criticize me for, unfortunately for you, it was something I never said. A clear straw man attempt.

My point in the thread wasn't to try to tell you or anyone else "this is what the team should do". My intentions were to point out that Romo's history of injury is significant, and much higher than his contemporaries and to refute the original post trying again to tell everyone that it's 'overblown' or a 'non issue'.

Some fans can't handle the truth of the situation. And they'll try to change history, attempt to add qualifiers or try to change definitions in order to support their feelings.

 

[Doc50]

He doesn't.

The position he was in and the nature of the contact last night created a sudden lumbar hyperflexion, resulting in some pain (and angst from him and fans and coaches). The good news is this was temporary and did not immediately result in spasms. He'll probably be a bit sore today, but this incident is not a bad omen.

Better watch out! They can't handle this kind of talk!

Really? So what is it them a good omen? The team's projected starter got taken out of a game after 3 plays and everyone should turn a blind eye to that?

It's amazing what people will tell themselves in the name of fandom.

And what does waking up mean I should do?
Should I cry on a message board that they need to cut Romo?
17 QB's last year started all 16 games. I never said Romo would play all 16 games.
I'm saying the chances of any player playing all 16 these days is small. Dez, Zeke, everyone.

Everyone understand the risk...but everyone doesn't act dramatic and go after people that don't join their pity party.

So no answers again.
Just what I thought.

Your desire is to state the obvious and cry about it.
The reality is every QB can get knocked out on any play...ask Carson Wentz.
What does this change at this point?
So he plays all 16...great,..
So he doesn't like many QBs won't...then Dak plays some.
You want people to agree with you.....and then what? What should we be so negative about?

 

[Section446]

That's aot of missed games, and it will only get worse as he ages.

 

[Denim Chicken]

that's what they said about Manning after his spinal fusion surgery.

 

[Stash]

No, "cry" instead because others see issues for what they are and refuse to cover their eyes to it, or to let anyone else convince them of something that's not true.

17 QB's last year started all 16 games. I never said Romo would play all 16 games.
I'm saying the chances of any player playing all 16 these days is small. Dez, Zeke, everyone.

And you're trying and failing to level a playing field that's far from level. 27 games missed for Romo, none of the other top quarterbacks have missed anything close to that. Deal with reality. Or "cry" about it.

Everyone understand the risk...but everyone doesn't act dramatic and go after people that don't join their pity party.

No, you "act dramatic" and go after anybody who's not standing around the Kool Aid cooler lying to themselves about how everything is great.

 

[Stash]

Do you want to compare Manning's games missed due to injury to Romo's? I doubt it.
