Demoted Romo Still Has a Future with the Dallas Cowboys: Jerry Jones

A fourth-round pick playing his rookie year.

All season long he has helped Dak Prescott develop into a mature quarterback well beyond his years. “He’s going to learn from his mistakes and get better”. Romo knowing the offense can be the Cowboys’ ideal safety net.

In 2014 it finally seemed like the Cowboys had built the team around him that everyone wanted to see. “Everybody plays a part in our success in what’s happened and they’ll play a part in the adversity that comes”. It’s the 28th-ranked run offense against the No. 3 run defense.

Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees half-joked that Prescott should no longer be considered a rookie, calling him “a first-year player”. He’s not dominating the stat sheet, but fans don’t care. “He is vested completely in being a part of a winning team”. I’ve always had a lot of respect for Tony, but I thought it was a good move by him. However, Prescott was found not guilty of the charges in July, and the Cowboys have sworn by Prescott as a leader, both on and off the field.

“I just have to really pinch myself we are in that shape with Dak Prescott playing at his level and Tony Romo healthy and ready to go, ” Jones said.

Tony Romo stopped a reporter in the middle of what appeared to be the first question in his first meeting with the media since August.

Of course, there’s also the fact that it makes zero practical sense no matter how you slice it. Keeping a quarterback with Romo’s salary on the bench would be equivalent to buying an Aston Martin, taking the wheels off of it and using it as a tool shed. Dallas has the knack for getting pass happy throughout the season. “If you look at them over the course of the season, they have done a good job right from the start, but they have gotten better and better and better, certainly week by week and even day by day”. This is not only the best record in the NFC, but the best record in the National Football League so far.

Same thing with running backs. In 10 years as the starting quarterback for the Cowboys, he went just 2-4 in the playoffs. When you’re the owner of one of the most recognizable franchises in sports history, fortune outweighs the fame.

The Dallas Cowboys host the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday with one big matchup on everyone’s mind; the Cowboys rushing attack vs. the Ravens rush defense. Prior to this change, back-up Mark Sanchez took one series with the starters during Friday practices. He’s essentially the Steve Jobs of the NFL. The Dallas owner believes Romo is still capable of leading a team to the Super Bowl, perhaps even the Cowboys. However, coach Jason Garrett has publicly stated that Dak is “the guy” for foreseeable future. That might not be tenable beyond this year, and it could force the Cowboys’ hands a bit. “He’s guided our team to an 8-1 record, which is hard to do”.
