Like the “R’s,” Jones will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory once again.

I am sure there is a list of teams that want to go from the middle of the pack to 2nd tier who will be interested in Romo.

He did VERY good by stepping away and handing the team to Dak but he will always be known as a very good not quite elite QB. He has some good numbers but in crunch time he fades. Always.

People always bring up his season ending injuries, as if somehow it’s his fault.
Had he had proper front line protection, like Dak has had, then he would still be in the game...............

Putting an old man like Romo out on the field to be hurt again...

Bean counters running the business, or more to the point, owner running the football team.

Crazy.

It’s a meaningless game for them. The already have Top Seed in the play offs, Bye Week, home field advantage throughout, and the NFC East title..............

If his front line protects him like they have DAK, then he’ll be safe................

This has the word “stupid” pasted all over every side of the package.

Just another reason to #BoycottNFL

Jerry’s an idiot. Plain and simple.

“He did VERY good by stepping away and handing the team to Dak but he will always be known as a very good not quite elite QB. He has some good numbers but in crunch time he fades. Always.”

I regard him as a third-rate quarterback who has displayed rare flashes of adequacy.

I can’t for the life of me fathom why the Cowboys have stayed with him for so long.

And still below top tier.

I wouldn’t even play Dak, even if he is gunning for the record books. Let Sanchez start and Romo clean up.

Why? This is exactly what they need to do. Romo is backup and needs some reps in case Dak goes down (hope not).

I guess he is old now. But, I always thought of him as the young gun with a minimal college background who broke into the lineup. Then again, he broke in by outshining Drew Bledsoe at the end of Drew's career, and that was... practically last-century.

Romo will be playing the backup bitch to Dak.

They have Mark Sanchez as a back-up. . . . I guess you're right they are planning on losing.

Totally. He's an idiot because he pissed away 20 years trying be a de-facto coach and general manager too.

Jerry needs to hire a GM, and spend his days on the ranch or something.

Love the time when they played the Vikings and Favre was kicking their asses and Jones desperately went to the sidelines grabbing a clipboard. LOL

It’s all about increasing Romo’s trade value.
