Imagine if this happens?

[Manster7588]

Not sure yet. Still pretty pissed he didn't get his job back. In my opinion it cost us a Super Bowl appearance. It's too damn hard to get there. Of course this is easy for me to say after the fact. It was just my opinion.

One question. Will you buy a Romo jersey of his new team?

No. Never bought a Romo jersey for myself. The only Jersey I have ever bought myself was a Darren Woodson jersey. Now my two boys have had probably 20 ranging from Romo to Trashard Choice lol. I think the last jersey I bought them was a Dez jersey.

And the reason I dont see any team giging up an early pick. As for his contract it was talked about on a vegas radio station, no direct quote. He could very well sit tight, wait for his release then negotiate with teams of his choice, but I'll be very surprised if he gets an offer = to his remaining money.

Well, then maybe he needs to be prepared to sit on the Cowboys bench again next year if that happens. I for one wouldn't be upset if we had to renegotiate someone and forego a FA to keep him on the bench. It certainly isn't the best situation for a championship, but even though Dak may be a young stud it's possible he too could get hurt. Plus, if we hold onto Romo maybe we find a desperate team that loses it's QB sometime between July and the trade deadline.

 

[jarntt]

Strictly speaking from a financial sense, while it's realistically possible, don't think it is feasible to trade Romo before 6/1. Dallas would be fielding a bunch of practice squad types in 6-7 game day roster spots.

If it's a trade of Romo for draft pick/position, then Dallas probably won't see the pay off until 2018.

Just my observation.

Anything is possible so it could happen. But I think you get a better return later on once teams start to get desperate. Every team in the league knows Romo can be good and also that he can go out for the year if he sneezes too hard. So our best bet for a good return is a desperate team that ignores the downside and just sees the talent. The longer we wait the more likely that is to happen. Plus having him around for a while can only help Dak because I still say all the "controversy" is white noise to Dak, He knows he is just a flat out better QB going forward, but he also knows he can learn a lot from Romo. Romo is smart, experienced and not likely to cause problems.

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

This bullshit is what I'm talking about that Jarntt just spouted. " Dak flat out better ". He has said that twice in this post now , which tells me he really doesn't have me on ignore. Now if I said something knocking Sean Lee , Pday and Earl would go nuts. If I said something about Dez, Tom gets mad. Jarntt called Romo a top 10 Qb in one sentence. Came back and said Dak was better. I'm not even sure Dak is in the top 5 young Qbs in the game yet.

Healthy Romo is better than Dak, at least as of today. Maybe in the long run Dak will be betterm

Come on. If that were the case Romo would have played the playoff game. You don't think the team would have 100% done whatever was most likely to win the game? They could always still have turned to Dak in the future. If they thought Romo was better he would have won the job back, As a matter of fact, if it was a tie he might have even won the job back. Dak is better today and a lot better tomorrow IMO and obviously in the team's opinion based on how they handled things.

Or the team was so afraid of the backlash, if Romo got hurt or failed, with every talking head out there saying you cant put Romo in as long as Dak was winning. Not everything is Black and White.

I'm hoping Dallas finds away to keep Romo and let the best man win. My money will be on Tony, but of course YOU and a few others will simply blame Jerry.

 

[reptec101]

Isn't funny.. both our teams have pretty good QB's and we don't know wtf to do with em. One team (ours) can't figure out how to keep their QB, or if they even want him, and the other (yours) will be damn if they do or if they don't. Jerry would hate to see Romo go somewhere else and win but he will have to let him walk if he can get signed by another. He owes it to Romo who was his starter for 7 or so years to try and get that big one. He likes him to much IMO to see him hold a clip board to end his career. On the other hand if Dak is a one hit wonder he will go to his grave knowing that with this team (the 3 amigos back again) Zeke, Bryant and Romo he could have won a SB. What a dilemma for Mr. Jones. This is why I love football,,, it has such drama and story lines.

Gotta believe Romo will move on somehow and somewhere... gonna be crazy seeing him play in another uni,,, but I sincerely hope he isn't seriously hurt on the field. That sentiment I promise you.

As for us,, were about to have the highest paid player in the NFL and he hasn't even won a playoff game. Gotta love the NFL.

Dude, I honestly have to say that is silly and makes no sense. Jerry loves Tony. If you think an NFL team would play someone they purposely think doesn't give them the best chance to win in a win or go home playoff game there is no way to try to infuse reason into the discussion. Dak is a better QB and there is ZERO chance Garrett plays Dak if he thinks they have a better chance to win with Romo and there is ZERO chance Jerry is the one making that call. I've always said Jerry doesn't make on the filed decisions. I don't even understand that comment

Was Beurline better than Aikman in 91.

Hell, even Jerry said he can't go away from the hot hand. You have your opinion I have mine. But we all know you were never behind Romo.

completely untrue. I am 100% behind this team. I am just objective and able to point out the bad as well as the good. Still remember the week I had the unmitigated gall to point out that perhaps Romo was partially to blame for throwing 5 interceptions. Sorry, but Some of you guys get your pet players and can't be objective. As far as Jerry goes he for weeks stated this was Romos team regardless over and over again. He only started talking about the "hot hand" stuff when it became clear the team was better with Dak and he didn't want to insult Romo.

IMO...you have this half right. There woulda been big time backlash had Romo started the playoff game and they lost. Rightfully so. This team is Dak's team and all you have to do is remember the Witten interviews throughout the season as prove. Every player in that locker room was blown away with Dak, how he handled himself and prepared himself. It wasn't just the media or fans....it was the players themselves. Dak earned every aspect of being this teams QB in the locker room more so than the front office, fan base or media. This is why Romo will be history with regards to wearing a cowboy uni this next season. That page has turned.

I've said many times, Romo is great person, and I look forward to the day he's inducted in the Cowboy ring of honor. Very deserving of the honor. He made the cowboys better than they were more seasons than not, but he also is a school yard type player, throws the ball all over the lot and many times made plays when plays weren't there to be made. He also killed this team at times with the decisions made at the most inopportune time of the game. Dak in one season showed over and over it's about the decisions made with the football and protecting the ball. This IMO is the number one reason why he and Dez had issues cause Dak's didn't want to risk the turnover with tight coverage when he could throw the ball to an open receiver and move the chains. He takes what the defense gives him and that's a winning formula in today's NFL.

Dak hasn't arrived just yet, still has room to improve, but he has earned the right to take full control of this team and not be looking over his shoulder. The coaches know this and I also think the players inside the locker room know this. The critic (fans & media) don't count.

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

I think there was really something to the hit hand thing. I think the decision was made before the Pittsburgh game. No shame in losing at Pitt. I don't think it was ever a question until the GB game, meaning When Romo comes back it's his job. We win at GB and I think the question started. Going into Pitt we had won 7 in a row. In the NFL that is very hard to do regardless of who u are playing. I mean those first 7 were hardly murderers row, but like I said that's really hard to do. We finally lose to the Giants. Dak had a rough two games in a row @ Minn and @ NY. I really think if Dak would have had a rough half vs TB - Romo would have came in. He had his best game of the yr. IMO

The bolded is where you miss the boat. I think I've always been one of the more objective Cowboy fans on this site. Can't remember which game last season, but Lee played poorly, missed thee or four tackles. I posted the next day that was the worse game I'd seen Lee play and it was. Here's the difference, you and the Dez ball washer can't take any criticism of you guy. That much has been more than proven for the last few years. Just look how you dog jarntt over an opinion.

Here's the truth...Lee seldom plays a bad game and is perhaps the most prepared player each week in the entire league. I respect the hell outta that when more than half the players in football play for their next contract. ( This is also why I've come to respect the job Jason Garrett has done here, cause he has added a boat load of players that work their ass off and put team above individual accomplishments.) This why I'm also becoming a huge fan of Prescott. I actually think he gives a rats ass if he throws for 3 TD's and 300 plus yards ( much like Staubach & Aikman) He understands it's his job to just win football games. Much left to see with regards to Dak, but I have liitle dought he's motivated to improve like few others and winning is ALL that matters.

I remember Lee's bad game, it happens .Heck, I recall Aaron Rodgers laying a couple of turkey eggs early last season, then killing us in the playoffs.
I agree Dak hasn't fully arrived, but besides physical talent, which he has, he seems to have all the intangibles, work ethic and desire to improve that guys like Brady, Manning and Aikman had. I think he will be a great player in the end

Fair enough, my point is by time Romo was ready the team was afraid to go against the hot hand, I 200% believe if given the chance Romo would have taken the job back. I also believe that IF Romo returns, and IF he wins the job a large number of fans will say its only because of Jerry.

Im gonna steal a line from PDay, but your views on Romo are in the posts.
Now I give you, you are more level headed than the WFRYE's but you always had a dislike for Romo as the Cowboys QB.

I'll say my opinion as a fan has no more value than yours BUT, IMO, the worst thing this team could do going into next season is to have open competition at the QB position. The development of Dak Prescott should be priority one. I don't blame Cousins for apparently wanting to leave Washington cause of their lack of commitment to him. I'd feel the same way IF an end of his career Romo got the job over the clear future of the Cowboys which in my mind, is without question, Dak Prescott.
