Letter to Romo from ex teammate

[PDay8810]

There's more to life than football, Tony.

Hang 'em up.

I'll be sure Tony gets your message...

 

[PDay8810]

I said the exact sentence to my wife last year.

Yep...I think you two guys and my 8 year old grandson are taking this the worst

 

[Carnzo]

Can't speak for a pro athlete but now that I'm over 55 I wish I never worked moving furniture for 10 years.
Every injury comes back to haunt you. Still suffering from a dis-located hip and sideways whiplash to my neck.
Call it a career Tony

 

[R.J. MacReady]

lol,


Don't think for a second feeling that way sits well with me. It's usually just for the first game Romo is out and then I'm back to towing the company line.

Plenty of time for me to recover this time around. Can't remember the last time I was this fired up for a Dallas back up.

 

[Inquisitor95]

It's a personal decision for him.

I hope he makes the right choice for the right reasons.

Mine is a military whiplash.

Let's tap the brake's on the retirement talks. RoMO can pop some pain killers, get a shot in the back and be back in a month

Yep. Son sent me a text during my daughters volleyball tournament last Saturday. I thought I was gonna puke. Your 8 yr old grandson sounds like a smart kid.

 

[PDay8810]

Your 8 yr old grandson sounds like a smart kid.

I look to the women in our family for all that.

The kid hits pretty good from both sides of the plate and mom & dad both played college sports. Who knows, but he's currently having problems even thinking about the upcoming cowboy season. I think he'll come around to what Prescott has to offer.

seriously, I understand!
I remember the feeling when staubach finally was the undisputed #1 QB in Dallas and he then separated his shoulder in a preseason game against the rams by trying to run over Jim Hacksaw Reynolds (pretty sure) at the goal line for a meaningless TD.

Love sports....all the emotions!!

Go Cowboys!

How did u feel when Staubach completed his last pass to Herb Scott vs the Rams. I remember it well. I'm not sure if I knew it was his last game. Now when Arrington hit Aikman, that was a tough day for me.

It was time for Staubach to go. I mostly remember his press conference.

Think about Staubach playing today....concussions would put him on the shelve and outta the game in 5 years

 

[Born to run]

Romo will play until his arm falls off.

 

[snookdad]

I love Tony, but its time to call it a career. Maybe he comes back and finishes this year and the stars line up and he finally wins one. That would be poetic justice for the ending of a great career.

 

[jarntt]

By the way,I like that he calls himself an ex-teammate and then says they never met. Isn't that like anyone from the Dallas area calling him their "neighbor"

 

[TheStarOne]

I think Romo is average at best, maybe above for a year or two. Dude really didn't bring any hardware home.

Brilliant........I guess ignorance is bliss

Romo has a career 65.3% Completion Percentage........tied for 4th in the history of the NFL........
He's tied with that little known QB ......Peyton Manning

Romo has a 97.3 Passer Rating........ranked 3rd in the history of the NFL .....(8 seasons in the top 10)

4 Pro Bowls

Romo has 30 Game Winning Drives ...ranked 16th in the history of the NFL
(Staubach had 23 game winning drives...ranked tied for 38th)

Romo has 25.. 4th Quarter Comebacks ...ranked 14th in the history of the NFL
(Aikman is tied for 51st) (Staubach is tied for 60th)
Staubach was Captain Comeback..what does that make Romo?

Romo has virtually all the DALLAS COWBOY passing records.......

And I'm not saying Romo is the best COWBOY QB of all time.......so save it

But it would be interesting, to pair Romo, with the 70's and 90's COWBOY'S team ,GM,s and coaching staffs.
Can you imagine pairing, the 2014 COWBOY'S offense, with the Doomsday defense or the '93 COWBOY'S defense?

There's plenty of time for him to come to his senses. Get him a Cousins jersey for Christmas

AS long as you can trade it after the season for next year's starter

 

[TheStarOne]

Romo also has the highest fourth quarter passer rating in NFL history with a mark of 102.7.

It's a salute to T Rom day
