Would you take a 1st and 4th for Romo

[dewby]

Usually a fanbase has more faith in someone or something which has proven themselves as champions or been there before.

I don't recall this lack of faith during the 70's or 90's? But I do recall it back in the 60's and 80's.

There was much more hope in his prime. I think we all recall the spark initially provided much like we're feeling now from another young gun.

Old legends never die but new ones are born everyday. Know when to say when.

And believe what you will but don't dont expect everyone to have the same faith without a proven commodity. It doesn't lessen our fandom or elevate others simply because we don't have as much faith.

These aren't our children, our loved ones who we are necessarily emotionally attached unconditionally . These are moving parts which we don't have to accept or embrace them all to support the sum.

Pretty post but doesn't change the fact that Dak is still completely unproven as a pre-season superstar and Romo's done nothing but carry this team for the last 8 years and is our only chance at a Superbowl in the next 3. Would you rather have it now or later?

Right now, there's no question. And I'm a HUGE Romo homer.

you answered you own question.....i'm not going to get in a battle of fanhood with you...thats what insecure people do. ive been around awhile...im not a newbie

And you just reiterated my point in return - By highlighting only what you did... highlights exactly what you're here for - Aesthetic appeal towards nothing but a superficial idea of the Dallas Cowboys. You don't care who's devoted to the team, nor what they've done for it, you just care about their record. The fact that what Tony's done for this team over the past 10 years means nothing to you, and you would wholeheartedly be willing just to ship and count him out because of a fluke injury that anybody would've had issues with if it were to happen to them, speaks volumes on your part.

******* idiots I cannot wait until Romo comes back halfway through the season and proves each and every single one of you *******s wrong and takes us all the way through the playoffs.

No faith in this fanbase. Seriously. It's disgusting.

Calm down, Romo. You really think youll come back in middle of the season and have a deep playoff run? How that back doe

No player comes before the team. I dont care how long theyve been on there. Nfl is a business, players come and go

Possibly. Doesn't mean I'd give up 2 draft picks for him.

Right. A business which revolves around winning - You actually think Dak or 2 future draft picks will give us a better chance at that in December?

I would. 36 and bad back, youd be crazy not to

Romo could possible miss half the season, by that time we'll know by our record if it even matters if he comes back

 

[darthseinfeld]

If Dak plays well Id gladly trade him for a 2nd next offseason

 

[dewby]

Man... lol

This is just honestly appalling.

Do any of you even realize this injury has absolutely nothing to do with previous injuries? If he started the season, took us to an 11-5 record and through the playoffs, everything would be an entirely different discussion. The minute someone gets their back slammed straight into the ground by a 250lb DB sliding at full speed and expects anyone to have absolutely nothing wrong with them is completely delusional.

He's not going anywhere... And with that said, I can't wait until he proves each and every one of you wrong throughout the course of the second half of this season.

Have fun rooting for your colors.

ok you are getting off track again....i'm not going to debate my fanhood or anyone elses for that matter, ive been a fan since the 70's if that eases your mind any....and obviously if you or me weren't diehard fans we wouldnt be on a messageboard arguing about this on a saturday night ....so with all that said...first of all Tony's injuries are not flukes, and secondly no team is going to offer a 1st or 4th for a QB thats injured.

your devotion to Romo is admirable, and i also have appreciated his time here, but i simply believe his best days are behind him, and i'm hoping Dak takes the reigns of this team and runs with it, the last thing i want is Tony to rush back and get hurt again, infact i really think he should retire. and thats my 2 cents on it.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Nope, I'm not trading away my franchise QB with his franchise salary based off of Dak's preseason.

Any player on the roster who is 36 or older is movable for a first round pick.

Besides, I am not delusional enough to believe Romo has 5 more seasons in him and he will be suiting up at 41............LOL, yea right.

Romo has maybe 2 years left max, so do I trade a player that has 2 years left for a first round pick that will be 21 or 22 yrs old?

Gee, that's a hard decision, I am going to have to think about that awhile.........LOL

We can have different opinions. But there's no way I'm moving a franchise QB with his salary off my roster until I know I've got a viable replacement for him. I wouldn't seriously consider it, honestly. And I think anyone who does doesn't fully grasp how hard those guys are to find in the first place.

 

[crazyeddie]

You got to figure,Tony still has value to thiscteam,even while he's injured.

The knowledge he has for the game and of this offense is very valuable to Dak and Sanchez.

I look for Romo to retire a Cowboy. We wouldn't get squat for him anyhow.

But then again,I thought the same thing about Bradford, so what do I know.

 

[vaturkey]

Romo is 36. No QB in the league (with his injury history) at his age is worth that. Peyton when he was 36 wasn't worth that IMO. Neither is Brady. Now if you had a 100 percent guarantee of a Super Bowl trophy you might do that but no other way.

 

[Bullflop]

Anyone who'd cough up a 1st and 4th round pick, in addition to assuming Tony's contract, would have to be mentally incompetent.

Contract Null and Void . . . legally invalid.

 

[Ren]

I'd like to say not before we find his replacement but Romo is done anyways so getting anything for him at this point, plus getting his contract off our cap would be hard to say no to

 

[Cowboysfan917]

How many first rounders have been given for a 36 year-old QB with multiple, lingering back injuries in recorded history?

Like it or not, Romo's like that old beater car that you have that is more than capable of getting the job done from point A to point B, but you hope the transmission doesn't go out on it once you hit the freeway. He's worth much more to us than the open market.

I think on the open market he would be worth a lot... Just not in a trade situation. Think Denver with Manning. That was an extremely heavily laced contract to protect the Broncos if he was to get hurt.

That being said, I'm of the belief that Romo's injuries are not due to being injury prone but more caused by playing style. He could potentially play a few more seasons but only if he played Manning/Brady ball. Throw it away, fall down, etc. Don't risk the big hit for the big play.

Holding the ball and making things happen is what consistently lands him, Rodgers, Luck, Big Ben, Cutler, and guys like that on the injury report. Andrew Luck being the youngest of these players... Wait a few years and see him go down the same path with the excessive amount of hits he takes.

If he continues to try to constantly make things happen, he probably does not have much time left and stands a really high chance of reinjury. The same things that make you laugh make you cry.

That being said, he feels he has to extend the play because of the lackluster talent on the defense that we have fielded the past several years. Dak will be dealing with the same thing and will either have to 'make things happen' or lose games until the defense is addressed.

 

[Cowboysfan917]

Not to hijack the thread but (while we are being ridiculous with scenarios) let's say Dak plays great and starts 8 games; Romo comes back and plays great, finishes strong(not even a hint of injury), and wins the super bowl. Romo states he wants to retire after the 2018 season as a Cowboy.

Some other team sees Dak as a franchise guy and offers a 1st and 4th for him. Do you do it?
