Romo plays QB at a level that Dak can only dream about at this stage of his career.
If you're in the pro Dak camp (look that's fine...I think long-term generally as well) you're essentially fine somewhat sabotaging this year with the hope that it leads to higher peaks earlier for Dak. This kind of self sabotage very rarely happens in professional sports. For instance, last year, when the season was lost...I rooted for Cowboys losses. Why? Because I wanted a higher draft pick and higher hopes of future success. But what did the team do? The continued to fight for wins. They continued to play veterans. It is the way the National Football League operates. Now as a fan....if the season at some point appears lost before Romo returns. I'll probably switch to the camp....let the kid play.
But while there is hope that Romo can return and this team can push for the playoffs where....*insert Kevin Garnett anything is possible gif*....i'm fully behind Romo. The same Romo who was the best quarterback in football his last full season. Romo became a top 5 qb not because he is a physical marvel but because he process information at an inhuman rate. I don't think that is lost. I think he can be a top qb again. And if he isn't, we'll move on. Like we moved on from Troy. LIke we moved on from Emmitt. Like we moved on from Ware. Like we'll move on from Dez, Witten and Romo one day. This is a cold business. But the call for Romo's departure are premature.
