CZ POLL Weekly Poll: Do you want Romo to start when healthy or stick with Dak? **ended**

[Zordon]

I am surprised its still this close.

I'm not. Folks LOVE tony romo on here.

 

[Anthonyscottua7]

This team and fan base doesn't owe anything to Romo, I has been paid very well, I'm the first one to defend the fact that all the jokes and meme's about is career are hot garbage. That 2013 team with T.O. was not his fault the D couldn't stop anyone, and I seem to remember a few teams like that. Now he has had his far share of bonehead plays... But hey he is our guy and we have rode this guy as much as we can. Dak is the man now, and there is something going on with this team that we haven't seen since the early 90's. Everyone said that those team where too young and didn't have the players and star power to achieve what the did. By no means am I comparing the 90 teams to this team, but how can you take this guy out of the starting role and hope that Romo can do what he's never done before? That win in Green Bay should have ended this talk, no way do you remove Dak from the starting QB spot.

 

[Zordon]

There are a few things Dak isn't able to do yet that he will do one day. Romo can do those things right now if he's healthy.

There isn't a wrong answer, which is the beauty of it.

There are things like synergy, chemistry, momentum that you can't measure with Dak. I understand that in a vacuum Romo probably makes a lot more throws than Dak but add in the DL bearing down on him, does he not flinch like Dak? I doubt it at this point in his career. Also the moment he gets hurt, it's going to depress this team from the top to the bottom. Jerry do not F this up. This is Tom Brady, Russell Westbrook all over again.

And that's a fair point of view. I'm just saying, if they do end up officially making this Dak's team, it needs to really be his.

 

[SuspectCorner]

I'm not. Folks LOVE tony romo on here.

I only love what I know Tony Romo is capable of - it's respect for his game and not some foolish idolatry.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

Dak, I am not convinced that we get back the Romo of old anyways. If Dak starts to struggle, then make the switch. Imagine going into the playoffs with Dak leading and any sign of trouble.....insert Romo to the rescue

This is the problem with this poor line of thinking....Tony is not going to come in with 2 seasons off at that point and rescue anything. Which is WHY this is my 3rd vote in a row for Tony.

Tony should be given 2 games, minimum in the regular season, and soon, to prove he still has it or doesnt. Lets not wait to find out in the playoffs.

Lord knows I'm a huge Tony fan, and even I'm fully on the Dak train. It takes nothing away from how great Tony has been for this team.

I'm okay with Dak continuing to start.
He's been great.
But I think the 2104 team had this same thing going on, though the secondary was not as good as this year's version.
That team was also scoring at a higher per game rate while still turning it over at an extremely low rate.

The question with Romo is health.
There's also the question of screwing with the momentum.

 

[Cowboysfan1975]

Needs to be a undecided.......

That's how I would have voted, bit since there wasn't an option I voted for Romo. I'm really torn. I have loved Tony since the day he took over the starting job. He has been my favorite Cowboy since the 90s teams, and sacrificed his body on teams that weren't built for him to have success. Dude has been a warrior and is the main reason we have won most of the games we have since he has been playing.

However I'm really excited about Dak and really want to see how he plays as the season goes on. I also hate the idea of messing with the groove we are in right now.its a tough call. Glad I'm not the one to have to make it.

 

[Super_Kazuya]

Still Romo for me, far and away the better quarterback in my view. Dak actually had his second worst game (Giants) so he definitely didn't move the needle any for me... though he still played fine. See what you have with Romo against the Browns, switch back to #4 if there are any problems.

Which is why I used a ""

Romo should only be used in an emergency situation and that may not come until the playoffs, if ever. I don't think that Dallas should let him start "just because" in a couple of weeks. There is no logical reason to mess with the team chemistry at this point, Dak has rallied this team together and it is evident that they love playing with/for him.

 

[reddyuta]

I want Romo to start to see if he can play at 2014 level.anything less and we are better off with Dak.

 

[cowboyfan4life2]

People need to relax on this, can we wait until Tony is fully healthy and cleared to go before we make this an issue.

I can't even bring up 2014 anymore in regards to Romo because he's had three injuries since then.

Tony has 10 years of chemistry with this team > Dak's 6 weeks of chemistry

Yeah. That's understandable
Due to the two injuries, the burden of proof is on him, for better or worse.

If you can't see a difference between now and 2014, I don't know what to tell you. Romo's "team" chemistry pretty much stalled in Green Bay a couple of years ago. He has barely been on the field since then. These new, young guys are building something with Dak, the team as a whole has a different energy to them.

 

[Super_Kazuya]

Tony has 10 years of chemistry with this team > Dak's 6 weeks of chemistry

"Chemistry" is intentionally nebulous, mostly because it doesn't make any sense and is used in an absence of logic. If Romo and the Boys beat Cleveland 34-3 does Romo then have chemistry? Does it mix with Dak's chemistry and become a new, unidentifed element at the end of the periodic table? And is Sanchez's chemistry the acid to its base?

 

[Air Force One]

That train already left the station a long time ago. I believe that if Dak were struggling we would have already seen Romo in Green Bay and certainly for the philly game.
