As much as I don't like to admit it, big ups to guys like
@PAPPYDOG and
@NotForLong who saw the bleakness of our QB situation long before most others would admit it.
This whole situation has really tugged at my heart. I bleed blue. My wanting the Cowboys to Reinstall Romo as the starting quarterback was 2 fold. Romo was Romo, obviously better football talent and mind. It was beyond obvious. But at the same time and even more important was to give Dak time to grow and learn.
I have always been a big fan of having a QB starting as a Back Up and learning. These athletes are monsters and it hurts when they hit you. Its so much faster on the field. As a Rookie you are a sitting duck. You have to naturally develop bad habits which leads to poor foot work. Some never recover. Donovan sat and Tim Couch was thrown to the wolves.
There's something to be said, a what if. What if Dak learned behind Romo what if? Instead he's being exposed as a 1 trick pony and teams are exploiting him. He's developed poor mechanics instead of watching and learning from one of the greatest.
In 2016 I wanted Romo to play because I had seen the heart that made Dak great. He stepped in and stepped up. There was a lot of uncertainty surrounding him but Damn what an incredible man. The Cowboys missed out on an amazing opportunity to develop him.
2016 did happen and he is a 4th rd selection. Dak is both but that's why you develop the physical abilities because he's a winner a leader and a competitor.
Now we are stuck with an egotistical owner. And a head coach who is incappable or flat out will not help this kid who is struggling. This once shinning star is falling by the wayside because he is surrounded by incompetence. Because the owner is deluded and mananical.
Sad state of affairs indeed
