Why insert Romo hoping for one advantage while risking the possibility of losing many things?

Sure... I mean it certainly wouldn't be a good sign.

But you're saying you would bet money on them losing to Cleveland with a cleared to play Romo who had another week of practice, Dez, Zeke, Beasley and the best OL in the league?
Romo might lose that game, hes old and weak and slow, its done!

I would make that bet even with Sanchez starting.

Not at all, I'm just trying to gauge if you're ego or intellect is driving your argument, and I don't mean that disrespectfully in the least. Sometimes we just fight for too long for something when evidence is sitting out in plain view that runs counter to it. It's plain to me that Dak needs work and not #2 reps behind Romo. The future is now.

I don't necessarily believe he is the future. I think he is going to be given every chance to be that guy and is off to a good start. But that's the future, and I currently don't think he's the best QB on the roster, and that's important because I think we have a real shot this year.
So again I ask Romo haters in general (not you), what is the big deal about just trotting 15-4-in-last-two-years Romo out there and seeing what he does with the same opportunity against a harmless opponent? Competition, if you will.

Because that would probably make evident the fact that Tony Romo is better than Dak and this offense would look even better. But that doesn't jive with the Romo is done, Romo is a loser, Romo was never really that good, Dak is better crowd.

Brady has more rings than Romo has playoff wins, lol. Just lol, and you are comparing these two guys. SMH
People also shook there head at the beginning of the year when I compared our defense with Carolina's... I am used to it.

The only beef I have with what you're saying is the harmless opponent part. There's no harmless opponent in the league, too much parity. We just have a fundamental disagreement about who the best QB is right now. I think it's probably Dak, you think it's probably Romo. We may never find out.

Are you Jerry himself? I mean you have his avatar, and you seem like a stubborn old man incapable of changing his mind no matter what.

The Browns are one opponent and Romo can probably get that win, but if they go with Romo they're not going back to Dak probably unless Romo throws 5 INTs 3 games in a row. They should stay with what's working.

We could beat Browns with Sanchez. Perfect game for Romo to return. I certainly wouldn't wait until the following week at Pittsburgh .

Prescott is the best QB the Cowboys have had since Troy. This boy is already a more complete QB than Tony. He can read a defense an make a good quick decision. Thats why the Club is winning and winning easily.

Dak went 388 passes without an INT in college with a terrible O line. He is that good that but blind Romo lovers will never give him credit. Too bad Jerry's one so Romo will be the starting QB and we'll probably lose our first playoff game because Romo's only won 2 in his entire career.

The offensive line is what's working. The QB is a replaceable cog whose toughest job is staying awake with all day to throw in the pocket and handing off to Zeke. Dak isn't even using his one advantage over Tony (legs) anymore as he's barely had to move these last two games. It's literally just stand there and wait for Beasley's man to fall down again, or choose any of the other 3 wide open guys.

Well we are in agreement about that, we may never find out... because if no one ever stands up to our offensive line, then we are going to destroy everyone regardless of who is back there.

Dak Prescott doesn’t own most passing records for Mississippi State. He owns every single one. Let me repeat that.

Every. Single. One.

It’s true that part of this shows how inept the Bulldogs have been at quarterback throughout the years. But it also shows how good Prescott has been. So just what are those record? Well I am glad you asked.

Here are the 23 passing records held by Dak Prescott.

  1. Passing Attempts in a season (396)
  2. Career Passing Attempts (917)
  3. Completions in a Game (33)
  4. Completions in a season (244)
  5. Career Completions (566 and counting)
  6. Season Completion Percentage (61.6% in 2014, but currently at 65.8)
  7. Career Completion Percentage (60.4% entering 2015)
  8. Passing Yards in a Season (3,449)
  9. Career Passing Yards (7,283 and counting)
  10. Passing Yards Per Game in a Season (265.32)
  11. 200 Yards Passing Games in a Season (12)
  12. Career 200 Passing Yard Games (17 Entering 2015)
  13. Passing Touchdowns in a season (27)
  14. Career Passing Touchdowns (52 and Counting)
  15. Consecutive Pass Attempts without an Interception in a season (225 as of yesterday)
  16. Consecutive Games with a Passing Touchdown in one season (13)
  17. Consecutive Games with a Passing Touchdown encompassing multiple seasons (18)
  18. Passing Efficiency in a season (151.72)
  19. Passing Efficiency in a career (142.70 entering 2015)
  20. Career Interception Percentage (.026 entering 2015 and falling)
  21. Season Interception Percentage (0 so far in 2015)
  22. Passing Touchdowns in a game (Tied with a bunch of people at 4)
Yet he's doing the same thing in the pros and haters want to give him no credit. He is better than Tony Romo right now I don't care what anyone says. The only thing you can do to hamper him is sit him on the bench. Even if you want to say "but it's Miss State" a lot of those records would stand at better schools and they had no great o-line or WRs.

This is just wrong. I understand people are excited about how Dak has been playing, but please be realistic.

Ok so you insert Romo hoping for one advantage while risking the possibility of losing many things?

Why?

Don't you understand rhythm?

Why is this even a consideration, maybe i am crazy, but if not, it means your crazy!
Jerry:
Well um ah relative to what our qb's can do, um ah we have to consider all things relative to the position and the um team.
Therefore um ah relative to the situation we have we ah um will have to consider many things.
Tony is our # 1 QB and ah best chance to go far ah um relative to the ah.... playoffs.
But our ah um # 2 QB is ah um ah ah doing very well relative to ah um winning games.
We have a decision to um ah make when Tony is 100 % which ah um well relative to his total health, is ah um
unknown.
