+1. Because of daks popularity, I wonder if romo gets booed IF he stays healthy and does not do well.

I'm beginning to wonder if Romo will see the field again this year, barring a Dak injury. I know it's "his team" but in reality, Dak is outshining him. And Dak seems to be able to win whereas Romo could/did not. I guess it'll be up to Jerry.

Romo is too fragile to make it through more than a couple of games...


One interesting concept I heard from the talking heads was that Dak is a better fit for the cowboys than Romo not because of his athletic skill but his ability to avoid mistakes and win time of possession. The thought is that Dallas does not have a good enough or deep enough defense to allow the other team to keep their O on the field for a long time. Romo, while very talented is a high risk, high reward kind of player. He can put up some points but he also might throw 3 picks in a game and the D is not strong enough to win many shootouts.

Life long Cowboys fan so take this for what it is worth:

Romo was a Dez catch ruled incomplete against GB (Dez caught it) away from going to the NFC championship game. With the way they were playing, it isn't crazy to think they would have been in the Super Bowl.

I am as big of a Dak fan as the next guy but lets not act like Romo is like Brian Hoyer or something.

As soon as Romo starts busting plays and turning it over multiple times in a couple games or gets hurt it will be Daks team. Dak does exactly what Garrett wants so when Romos style begins to hurt them again Garrett will make the decision. I'm a Dak fan and a Cowboys fan. So there's that.

It wouldn't bother me if Romo got back into the game. I was hoping that Prescott would have a year or two to learn more...and he could learn from Romo

That's not a concept, that's a damn fact. I'm a lifelong cowboy and if jones would spend as much time addressing the D in the draft as he does the O, we'd have a helluva team.

Romo is 15-4 over his last 19 games. All this risk/reward stuff is moot. If he starts losing when he's healthy, then you bench him.

Dak's outstanding play does two things for the Cowboys. First it lets them take their time with Romo's injury. Last season they had to rush him back because it was the only chance to salvage the season. That turned out poorly. Second, it gives them the option to pull the plug on Romo as soon as his play declines rather than searching for a successor for a season or two.

Dak, the Cowboys, and Romo are all in a great situation right now. Since the injury, it's been almost best case scenario (obvious exceptions being the loss in the division and Dez's injury).

Romo played 4 games in 2015. Had 5 TDs & 7 Ints. Long pass 39 yds 7-20+ and 0-40+ yard completions.
Dak 4 games. 3 TDs & 0 Ints + 2 rushing TDs. Long pass 47 yds 9-20+ and 2-40+ yard completions.

The talking heads say Romo needs to play because Dak doesn't throw the long ball. Looking at the stats he does so more than Romo did in his last 4 games without 7 Ints. Is 2014 Romo going to play or 2015 Romo playing. I tend to lean towards 2015 Romo when he returns.
