Locally, sports reports had Jerry talking about Romo’s return, until the team had tallied about 9 or 10 wins. When Romo came out with his speech/announcement that Dak had earned the starting QB position, that pretty much shut Jerry’s yap about a Romo ‘return’. Romo is old by professional sports comparisons, and quite injury prone. He should take a good, long look at his life. The next injury he receives could have 4 outcomes: 1) No lasting damage; 2) Significant damage; 3) Life-altering damage; 4) Death.
Romo has a wife and kids. He needs to think long and hard and if stepping back out on the field is worth the risk. Personally, I think he should hang up the cleats while he is still able to function.
Agreed. He’s got a bright future ahead of him outside of football. He can go into coaching or become an analyst.
“I think he should hang up the cleats while he is still able to function.”
You make good points. Still, I can see how he might not want to go out like this.
One more win, one more day in the sun, one more for the road and a six-pack to go.
Regrets can gnaw at a man at 0300 on a cold morning.
