Jerry Jones: Demoted Romo still has future with Cowboys
To the contrary, it does not appear that Romo would be a fit for the Jets.
The Dallas quarterback brought a statement, and he wasn’t going to answer any questions Tuesday. His backup, rookie Dak Prescott, came in and dominated under center for the Cowboys to the tune of an 8-1 record, and Romo recently had to accept the fact that this wasn’t his team anymore.
And a somber Romo didn’t hide his disappointment while reading the five-minute statement.
“He has earned the right to be our quarterback”, Romo said.
In all fairness to the Cowboys, they did face a Green Bay Packers team, in Week 6, that previously did rank No. 1 in rushing yards allowed. The Cowboys host Baltimore (5-4) on Sunday.
But back to the decision to start Prescott over Romo.
“I feel like we all have two battles, or two enemies going on: one with the man across from you, the second with the man inside of you”. “When I left [in 1991] …”
Witten was a third-round pick in 2003, the same year Romo signed as an undrafted free agent. The Cowboys aren’t losing Troy Aikman or Roger Staubach, they’re losing Danny White.
“I love Dez Bryant, ” Garrett said. “It really is an incredible time in your life”. I’d like to look back at my younger years and I can barely remember being 36. As the franchise’s all-time passing leader, Romo has three more seasons on a six-year, $108 million contract before being eligible for free agency in 2020.
If you ask me, which none of you did, but you’re going to hear my opinion anyway, I want nothing to do with Tony Romo becoming a member of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Owner Jerry Jones says the Cowboys are not ready to move on from Romo yet.
Dependability by the quarterback is key for any team with Super Bowl aspirations, and unfortunately, the trust that Jones once had in Romo has slowly begun to fade with each new injury.
Romo is a four-time Pro Bowler, holds an 80-53 record as the team’s starter, has thrown for over 3,400 yards and 247 touchdowns.
But Prescott had already shown promise in the preseason.
Prescott has not only done all the right things, he has said all the right things.
The study by the NFL Players Assn.-funded Football Players Health Study also recommends a short-term injured reserve for athletes recovering from a concussion, much like the system that baseball adopted five years ago. The Cowboys train has to eventually slow down and I think this is the week.
“I think that’s what we’re all trying to do”.
Florio later went on 670 The Score and mentioned Kansas City as a possible destination for Romo. “The worst thing you can do is divide a team, but it was a lot more controversial than today with Craig and I”. “He’s a special guy”, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. And you’re not there. It may be his darkest place ever, but I know millions of Americans who live in an even darker place. By doing this, Romo is being a part of the winning solution. “Games become more precious”.
“Tony Romo is now making over $20 million as a backup”.
