BADOLBILZ Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I didn't say it was the best in the league. I just do not see it as a glaring weakness, as you apparently do. I think they would be good enough to protect Romo. You said it was a strength. A Cowboys line with 3 All Pro's couldn't keep him from getting hit and injured the past two seasons. Three times he's broken his left collar bone since 2010. He required surgery for a herniated disc in his back.......then had a double fracture in his back on another occasion........and fractured a vertebrae AGAIN this season. These aren't random injuries this is a guy with a very fragile skeleton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These aren't random injuries this is a guy with a very fragile skeleton. He rushed back after the second one and re-fractured the same one. Hardly indicative of OI. You conveniently forget he posted the highest passer rating, completion% and TD% of his career in 2016.

You conveniently forget he posted the highest passer rating, completion% and TD% of his career in 2016. I think you mean 2014? He threw just 5 TD's versus 7 interceptions in the 4 games he was able to play in 2015 and basically missed 2016. I'm not saying he can't be good when healthy and supported I just don't think he can stay healthy and be supported in Buffalo like he was in Dallas in 2014. And there is a phenomenon where players kinda' reach a pinnacle where they are at their peak intellectually and can still play physically but soon drop off greatly. Saw it with Peyton Manning and Brett Favre most recently. And btw......breaking the same area of your collarbone twice in 5 years isn't random........this guy has probably endured had more breaks and fractures than anyone in NFL history.

He threw 4 passes in the second half of the final, meaningless game of 2016. Peyton had one issue at that 37.......the neck. Romo has had many issues.......he's pretty beat up.

Radar Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Personally, I'd rather take my chances with Tyrod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romo has had many issues.......he's pretty beat up. The joke is less funny when it takes 2 posts to get. The flipside of the coin is that Romo will have basically a year and a half off healthy. We saw what that did for Richie Incognito, who had his best year in 2015. I know, OL vs. QB, but I think there's something to be said about a little rest and rejuvenation.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Jerry may talk him in to retirement then position him as a well paid assistant, QB coach? there is a time to hang it up and even the most fierce competitor has his limits and Romo is a good hit away from a done career. pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as to the rest and relaxation aspect.......he broke his back in the preseason and was not healthy until much later in the 2016 season so more like 8-9 months since back "healthy" when he gets to a training camp next year.

Never. That's still more than most QB's his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Never. That's still more than most QB's his age. Would it kill the guy to drink some milk on all these extended vacation time he's had? Just a half hour of activity as a child could have spared him the suffering of thinning bones.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Excellent. A stud Wr at 10 and Romo would be a loaded offense. yep and Kelly to be his understudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple haze Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) I agree. We get Williams at # 10. And if Romo and Watkins stay healthy, we get an OT in round 2, we have a great offensive setup in both passing and running. Question is who do we get to backup Romo? I love the lack of knowledge form the national media regarding Buffalo. And, BTW, why doesn't Green Bay (which is worse weather wise) get hammered like this? There are like 3 "cold" games a year. To the soft among us, 40 degrees is too cold. Media members often complain about weather. Although on this case Stephen A. Mentioned weather in regard to Romo's injuries. would weather affect injuries like he's had? Edited February 12, 2017 by purple haze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Everything is relative to the price it takes to acquire him. I wouldn't give up a 1st or 2nd, probably not even a 3rd, but in my ideal world we flip Tyrod to Cleveland for a 3rd or 4th, then use that pick and a conditional 2018 pick based upon team performance / Romo's games played to acquire him or we sign him as a FA. Under those scenarios it's a no brainer to roll the dice on him as we aren't going to acquire someone else who possesses his upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Is there a doctor in the house? If he comes cheap, why not other than (if that doctor is good) it would prolong developing a young quarterback. That's the decision you would have to make.

This far into his fourth decade, after several gruesome injuries, he's bound to start delivering on all that potential upside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
