Will Dak take over for good or will Romo return as starter?

[theebs]

He is not taking over for good for awhile.

this is getting tiring. the same people who have been trying to run off Jason witten for like 8 years are now trying to run off Romo.

If they are 7-1 going into week 9, I don't think you can put in romo.

I'm a tony romo fanatic too

I don't see any way that happens in 2016.

If Dak performs borderline as he has in pretend season, that controversy will be the gift of the year to the media. And since it will be a young black man against an older white man, Kaepernick will get involved and lay down during the national anthem. And the fact that both guys are likable and neither will fuel the fire will only serve to expand it. They could get more people to go to the polls and vote for QB than for President.

ESPN and NFLN are pulling hard for Dak because they can't wait to devote the usual disproportionate amount of time to the Cowboys but this will really send it over the top. We haven't had a QB controversy since Morton-Staubach and Tom started that out as a tie. Can you just imagine what that would be like today?

Maybe even 6-2? Back in the day, Landry, and most of his contemporaries, had a policy that a player would not lose his starting position due to injury and they had a lot better depth back then. I think that policy dissipated a while back.

 

[Bullflop]

I'm at a loss to pick one of the choices that have been offered. There are simply too many scenarios that are totally dependent upon a multitude of circumstances to determine an accurate prognostication.

Even Stephen saw fit to cast a good measure of doubt and indecision into the muddled picture when he recently acknowledged that it's possible for either Dak or Tony to take charge when the time comes.

It seemed apparent, judging by the gist of his language, that he wants to leave an open door for an unrevealed choice when time and circumstance warrants a decision. It seems even Stephen can't decide.

 

[Asklesko]

if dak does well and wins most of his games, i see no reason why he should be replaced. let him play until he falters. then put romo back in

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I picked #3 but I can see Romo coming back in 2017 only to get hurt once again.

 

[Sarek]

Romo will most likely return as the starter, how long he remains the starter for one reason or another is another story.

If i had a vote, it would of been C. There's a possibility its neither Romo or Dak and they draft a QB again in the next draft.

lol. You aint kidding. Tell you what if ole Jerry is still alive and Romo can stand up....he plays. Its a certainty as long as there is still guaranteed money on the table!!

Absolutely. Tony is near or at the end.

 

[DallasDomination]

Great poll.

I voted for #3. I think dak will do ok but he'll get replaced when Romo returns from injury. Only to reclaim the starting position after Romo stinks up the joint later in the season. Romo needs time on the field at this rate he would be too damn rusty and off sync. He'll probably play like crap or get hurt again imo.

Yes. Thats a fair assumption. No way Tony comes back at his age and after a long lay off and plays well or looks good. Its a practical impossibility.

A practical impossibility seems , uh, impossibly extreme.
A real possibility maybe.
Fair enough, guess we'll see.
