What if Romo wants to compete for the starting job next year?

I can't prove I'm right but you can't prove I'm wrong either. They lost. First game.

Not one bit? That doesn't make sense the entire game would've been totally different. Maybe Dallas loses by more too tho

What I'm trying to convey is that I think we would have lost anyway, despite Romo's presence. If it pleases you to think otherwise, so be it. In essence, I don't think it's worth arguing about. What's done is done.

He'd lose anyways. Best thing for Romo is be happy he was paid and retire. He can either do that or go out on a stretcher. His choice.

Had we started Romo it likely would have been a repeat of the Carolina game in 2015. Romo starting wouldn't have prevented us from getting behind by 18 points because our defense couldn't stop the Packers from scoring TD's on their first three possessions. Starting Romo wouldn't have prevented the 15 yard penalty that killed one of our drives. Once we got behind by a couple of scores, Romo would have pressed trying to bring us back which would have led to INT's, sacks and the wheels coming off and a complete blowout/debacle. No way do we come back and make a game of it with Romo.

He's not as poised at Dak, he presses trying to do too much which has been his history in do or die games in which we've fallen way behind in. Instead of safe, smart throws he takes chances and it leads to mistakes that he compounds. He had one series under his belt all season and his lack of activity would have shown up having to face a red hot Aaron Rodgers who was dicing up our defense.

Romo's history in do or die games is the only proof I need to know you're wrong. Our defense was getting taken advantage of by a great QB and Romo would have pressed trying to keep up. Once we got down by three scores it would have been game over with Romo who would have turned the ball over trying to bring us back. Even though we were 18 points down, Dak never panicked and continued staying with his game. There was no forcing throws, he maintained his poise throughout the game as he brought us back. He made one mistake the entire day and didn't allow it to rattle him.

Just read a report that says Romo wants to face the Cowboys next season...not surprising at all if anyone knows the competitor Romo is...

Romo is obviously pissed at losing his job and wants to stick it to the Cowboys by beating them next season. Cant say I blame him, it is an unwritten rule in the NFL that you don't lose your job to injury and he did.

Sometimes in life people are just blinded and there isn't anything you can say for them to see the light. Don't worry though, when our 2017 starts and he isn't on the team, they will get over it fast. He has barely even played in 2 years and people still want him to start for us.

If Romo is playing for a different team when 2017 starts and if Dak struggles out of the gate with a much harder schedule next year, people will NOT be getting over it. In fact, it will be the complete opposite. Be prepared to start seeing post like this if the above scenario happens.


"Dak was a one year wonder and we traded the wrong QB".........you know posts like these are coming if Dak struggles next year.

Finish the fight

Sorry, nothing against your post it just cracks me up that they made all those finish the fight videos and then got their arse handed to them by Green Bay in the very first playoff game.

Those videos just look stupid when you go "one and done" as the freaking number one seed.......just embarrassing

The Romo era is history. It's the Dak era.

I don't disagree with this post. But I rewatched the 2014 gb playoff game and I actually came away with the thought romo was way too cautious and missed open guys by playing safe. If we play safe and pound zeke and improve the pass rush I think dak is the right guy Bc of his mobility and pocket prescience(stepping into hits whereas romo HAS to avoid hits).


But in the most recent packer game romo probably could've scored a little more in the first half and helped us re-establish zeke early. Romo to dez vs whoever that ****** cornerback was all day.

It wasn't our lack of scoring in the first half against Green Bay, it was the three first possession TD's our D gave up that put us in a hole that we spend practically the entire game trying to dig our way out of. Dak's poise and staying with his game helped us make a game of it in the second half. Romo has a history of pressing in that situation resulting in loose throws and turnovers. The Carolina game in 2015 was a perfect example. Jump balls to Dez all day wasn't going to bring us back in that game. It was staying with the game plan and not panicking/forcing throws that helped us make a great game of it.

People have tried to doubt Dak all season. He looked awesome in pre-season and people said "Just wait until he plays a regular season game" Then he looked good in the regular season game and then in several games after that. Then people said "Just wait until he plays a team with a good defense" Then he kicked butt in that game. Then people said, "Just wait until he plays against a team with a winning record" then he did that and kicked butt. Then people said "Just wait until he plays in the playoffs.. it is totally different" then he threw for 303 yard and 3 tds and looked just fine.

Now you are flapping your gums about him struggling next year vs a first place schedule. Please. Dak will be just fine next year. Regardless of how in love you are with Romo.

He shouldn't be given a chance. Dak proved he is a starter in this league. He's also 14 years younger than Romo. Time to move on already.

 

[DallasEast]

Which ones?

From the press conference when he said he's putting the guys on the team Above his ego? This would be that same edict.

If he's so bad and brittle I'm sure dak wouldn't mind showing the old fart what's what come august

Hey. If Romo himself cannot convince you, no one will.

 

[ShortRound]

More interested if we can get picks for Romo than wondering "what could have happened." Let's move on, seems like the Cowboys already have.

 

[DallasEast]

Jerry wanted to and did say that for the longest time, but I think the media pressure finally got to him. Heck if I was Jerry and every time I turned on the TV somebody was screaming, "Jerry Jones is going to mess everything up!" then I might have wavered too. The funny thing is they ended up getting the same one-and-done reward that everyone was so sure was waiting for them if they switched back to Romo. A well deserved reward at that. Remember Jerry, those who end up listening to the fans end up sitting with them. Oops, I guess that doesn't apply to Jerry either.

The result lacks all humor and I disagree with the reward being deserved for the team and fans but the Do Not Mess With Chemistry Or Else hypocritical argument you've alluded to is undeniably and unquestionably true.

The starting job is taken, backup job still up for grabs...

Yep. Agreed. Its long overdue to move on.

Pretty unamerican not to be given a chance. That's actually age discrimnation
