Jimmy johnson says he'd start romo when he's back. He's right that the defense can't hold good offenses. Going to have to score a lot so I can see the case with romo on that.

They're saying romo will be back for week 8 after the bye week.

ETA: looks like dak and zeke celebrated the victory hanging out with snoop dogg

I'm guess they will start Romo too. They are paying a lot for Romo, Jones likes him and he does give them the bigger play potential more so than Dak at this point. Dak may develop his deep ball passing, but I think Dallas just wants him to guide the team in a conservative manner for the time being. The good thing is Dak has done enough to be considered for the number 1 spot at some point. The future is bright for Dak regardless of what Dallas does in the short term.

but there's also only been 2 years in his career when he's played a full season and not thrown double digit int's. we saw with the Saints on Sunday how important a turnovers are in getting W's.

Doesn't a ball control offense keep their D off the field though?

Dallas is 10th in the NFL in points per game too. Not like they're struggling.

One thing is for sure: the pressure is on Romo, not Dak.

Let's say that Romo starts once he gets healthy (and I assume that he will.) The first loss, the first interception, people will be screaming to bench him.

Also, Romo has only like 2 career playoff wins more than Dak. But I do agree Romo gets the rock back when he is ready. Dak could use some easy weeks off getting ready to take over during Romo's implosion during the wild card weekend.

Romo will come back and get hurt just in time for Dak to take back over for the playoff run.

The Dallas offense looks fine to me. They may have a 1500 yard rookie RB.

 

[boatsandhoes]

agree with you both, I think even if romo comes back I doubt he will last long. Just too beat up over the years, and I think it's in his head now.

The cap hit for romo's contract is huge. have to play him. http://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/201...es-what-happens-if-tony-romo-retires-in-2016/

Strat...the numbers may be ok, but they are struggling. Can't rush the passer/can't stop the run are a death sentence in the NFL. Being able to get after the QB will solve a lot of problems. We do get Demarcus Lawerence back this week. Randy Gregory/Rolondo Mcclain are suspended for 14 games.

Drew Bledsoe says...keep that resume up to date, Tony.
and hey, somebody else thinks the exact same thing. Never knew Bledsoe could be used as a verb by the stodgy old Wall St. Journal.

(although I can easily picture Garrett being way more loyal to one particular player than Bellicheck)

Romo is crazy to me. If I were a millionaire, and just broke my back, I would go ahead and retire so I still have a chance to be able to walk, and enjoy my retirement without living in constant pain. But pride can be a ***** I suppose. Hard for these guys to give up what they love the most.

 

[Sapsdawg]

I read somewhere that Dak is among the top in the league at 5 minute + drives. That helps the defense as much as anything as long as you are getting points out of those drives and we are. Lawrence coming back will be huge and Jerry says Scandrick will play this week. Need Claiborne on AJ because Carr would get burned all day long this weekend.

 

[patdog]

Lot of miles and injuries on Romo's body. He's an idiot for even trying to come back from this. He's already going to have real trouble by the time he's 50.

 

[Dawg1976]

True. I would take it to the house.

Still waiting on cowherd to actually give credit to Dak for 'managing the offense.' Those that really understand 'what' the QB actually is responsible for in the NFL fully know is that Dak is making great reads, calling the 'right' audibles and keeping the Cowboy offense moving!

The Cowboys are 3-1.
- They have done it with their starting QB, Tony Romo out with a fracture in his back.
- They have done it with Tyron Smith, their Pro Bowl left tackle, and cornerback Orlando Scandrick missing two the four games.
- They have also lost their left guard, La’el Collins.
- They have done it with Dez Bryant missing the forty-niner game with a fracture in his right leg.
- They have done it with their two best pass-rushers, DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory, suspended.
- They have done it without their former starting middle linebacker the last two seasons, Rolando McClain.
- Most of all .. they are doing it with a fourth-round pick starting at quarterback in Dak Prescott, a first-round running back Ezekiel Elliott, and a coach that has taken advantage of both rookies strengths.
