lol.
The scenario. Romo is reinstated for the playoff run. On one hand, Romo is made of tissue paper like faux anatomy experts say and goes down trotting onto the field. Game over. Wait. No. There is another option. Put Prescott back in.
On the other hand, Romo survives paralysis that pseudo medical veterans know for certain would happen, boosts offensive output a TAD bit more, and helps overcome the defense’s inability to stop the opponent from regularly driving the field.
nah. Who am I kidding? The reality is Romo is always one moment away from becoming a quadraplegic. One day, he will tee off the third hole and that torque force will break his spine in two. It will happen on live tv. On CBS. Jim Nantz will shed a tear.
I am really surprised any what if Romo returned for the playoff comments have resurfaced. Such commentary was deemed outlandish at the time it only mattered. Not surprised the general understanding for physics and human anatomy remains where it has been before.
In the end, a rookie quarterback did not help accomplish (not surprising to some observers of the sport) what the veteran quarterback had never helped accomplish either before his successor’s arrival. It is the one thing both men had in common by the conclusion of the 2016 season.
Thanks Jerry Jones. Thanks Jason Garrett. Go Cowboys.
