Shaaya Ellis football is a team sport, you can't just blame Romo for not playing in a conference championship game when there are 20-25 other guys who need to do their job and coaches who also need to do their job.
Romo fan. Agree with everything said here. Except that trip Romo took with Jessica Simpson wasn't on a bye week, it was the week before the divisional round of the playoffs when they were the top seed in the NFC in 2007.
Dak is just a stone cold killer at the moment. I think it says a lot about a person when you can go through the worst thing most of us will ever go through (losing your mom, to cancer nonetheless) come back the next Sunday and lead your CFB program to an upset win over LSU. He knows what adversity is like and he knows how to win in spite of life hitting him in the face. That's the type of young quarterback any team would want.
i think romos trade value is not that big at 36 with injurys every 5 secs and killer contract, the cowboys would take 3rd or a 2nd which is pretty good if they can dump that contract
D Rek Martin So if the cowboys say that Dak is better they would still be able to get good trade value out of him? I am saying start Romo now and either trade him next year or keep him until Dak's rookie contract is up.
Glock2201 Its no longer a matter of if tony grt hurt its when will tony get hurt. Athletically Dak is better...football IQ Tony better both are good qbs. Looks like the future is now. If they can't negotiate a good deal with Tony I would move on from him. Noway Id pay 20m to a back up. Somebody would take romo thinking they can protect him. He goes out there and get hurt u lose leverage. I'd protect him till next year if Dak continues to shine. Only way romo would see the field is injury or poor play from Dak at this point.
They drafted great on the O-Line because their O-Line was horrible. Remember the year Romo couldn't get the center to snap on time and over shot him on EVERY shotgun. He's made of paper mache now BUT at one point Tony was body strong and WAS BEATEN into the dirt for like 3 seasons with the worst O-line in the world. This was right around the time Flozell Adams went away, he had to deal with TO and his locker room cancer. Romo held it together for a long time. 2014 was his Window and it closed on a horrible call in Green Bay. But its over. Dak to the Future
Romo came from nothing, small college, undrafted! He's a top 5 qb when he is healthy. He's so criticized for no reason. He puts 48 on Denver 3 years ago and still loses. This team is finally doing good when he's already old, and wasted his youth on corruption.
👏👏👏👏👏 I couldn't have said it better. People do not know this, Romo has never had a top ten defense in points allowed but once. On the other hand Tom Brady has never won a superbowl without a top 10 defense in allowed points. In fact 30 out of the last 49 superbowl teams has had top ten defenses in points allowed. This is a team sport. Romo for years has carried this team with horrible defenses.
James Herndon Patriots Defense in 2014 is ranked 13th sooo... Another thing Defense wins championships yes but Offense wins games... Tony has never made it to the conference championship my guy. So you can say Brady never won a championship without a good defense but he sure has taking them to the AFC or Superbowl even when he had a subpar defense which you cant say with Romo
Obey The Good Guy Vintage However, in 2014 their defense was top 10 in defensive points allowed. My argument is not about total defense but points allowed. Tom brady has only won one championship out of 9 when his defense was not top ten. He has only won one divisional game when his defense wasnt top 10. The great Tom brady has only: •1 championship win •0 superbowl wins without a top 10 defense in points allowed. Who would have thought defense means something? Peyton Manning has never won anything without having a TOP 5 defense (not top 10, but top 5) in allowed points and he had the greatest offense ever one year. Romo has carried this franchise for years without having a TOP defense in points allowed except one time.
on a different note, nick just made me realize my dolphins are the anti-cowboys, 1 pro bowler drafted in the first round since 2010, CENTER mike pouncey, smh
The thing with trading Romo to me is, he won't have an offensive line like the Cowboys to protect him. If I were a owner, that would be taken into consideration. How many snaps are we going to get out of this guy? Before he's sidelined again.
but for a long time he never had a great OL like we have in Dallas now. Part of the reason why he is so injury prone is because for the first 7 years or so in big D he was running for his life with no OL to speak of.
Romo is older than Bradford so just cuz Bradford went for a 1st and 4th, doesn't mean Romo will. Romo will be worth like just a 1st round pick or a 2nd and a 5th or something.
This is the first good argument I've heard in favor of starting Prescott over Romo. I still think the best way to go is to play Romo if he's healthy this year. Next year, everything's on the table.
David Johnson is a excellent back i like his game a lot. but at the end of the day his team is 3-3 so he is not gonna get as much love at a 5-1 cowboys and a 4-2 bills.. bell is the best overall yes BUT he was out 3 games so his stats arent up there and wont be since others had a 3 game head start. AS OF NOW, not the beginning or the end, RIGHT now .. Zeke is the best then sean
***** everyone is gonna have those days but let me know when u find a running back that is getting over 100 scrimmage yards besides David and Leveon effortlessly
well bradford is still young while romo is 36 and incredibly injury prone. so no romo is not worth a first round pick and may not have any trade value at all with his contract
***** if he was a FA id say hed deff get signed, but with his contract situation i just cant see any real trade value. no other team is gonna want to pay romo 15+ million a year
I sincerely hope somebody will give us a first round pick for romo but with his age and injury history i wouldn't bet on it. Maybe a second and a couple mid round picks, but he's too injury prone at this point to get any more than that
For your reason no1. If dak struggles and then you bench him he will have his confidence shaken and ya never know it but it could ruin what he has going. If you put Romo in now and he does great then all good. If he's bad, then dak comes in and his confidence is even higher! Romo should come back. Don't mess with our future! It's the smart thing to do
Next year plan: Trade Romo to the Jets, and grab one of their decent front 7 guys and a 2nd round pick (or whatever else you can rip out of the Jets). Keep Dez or trade him to get a top line, younger TE to give dak that blanket if witten retires. If he doesn't retire, then you can employ a two TE system like the pats. Draft a WR early to develop if you trade dez, or grab a DB and focus mostly on defense in the draft. Would put the cowboys over the top next year. Eagles fan btw.
Daumantas Žukauskas True, but if you're the Browns or any other QB desperate team you'd be willing to give whatever you could for a guy who (when he is healthy granted) can finally give your team a winning record or at least 500.
David Parkes No, any other QB desperate teams are rebuilding, save maybe the Jets, but they have a solid shot at top 5 pick. As for the Broncos, no way Elway gives Romo 17mil, that contract is ridiculous and noone wants it on their salary cap.
Daumantas Žukauskas Yeah but when was the last time the Browns had a halfway decent draft? Lol. You're probably right, plus i can't see him willingly taking a pay cut.
Romo is a good quarterback, but his performance sinks (sucks) considerably during post season (2 wins/4 losses). Hope Dak fares better in these playoffs.
Romo wouldn't be done in Dallas in that happend. Think about it like a GM would. Romo doesn't play well for a few games.. Well, then you say Romo wasn't at full strength and still had some issues and you want to let him rest up more. Maybe he is done maybe he isn't at that point but thats how you spin it. Come on man!!
Dak skipped that concert because a certain negative element (who lives matter) was going to be all over that concert and last time he was around that element that element tried to ruin his life. he learned from that mistake
No one is giving up a 1st round pick for Romo giving his age and injury history..Sam Bradford got that because he's still young and we know the talent is there but he's never played on a complete team in his career with or without injuries..The salary cap hit another team is going to take to acquire Romo plus the picks better be worth it
This is 100% on the money on everything he is saying I love Romo to but i love the cowboys 10 times more we are winning and have great chemistry so we shouldn't change anything
easily the best insight on the topic.
Best analysis of the situation by far.
Tony Romo has never played in a conference championship game and only has two playoff wins. Tony Romo deserves every bit of criticism.
Shaaya Ellis the team
Shaaya Ellis football is a team sport, you can't just blame Romo for not playing in a conference championship game when there are 20-25 other guys who need to do their job and coaches who also need to do their job.
Look at how the team plays with dak an romo.Keep dak in
Shaaya Ellis idk how many times ive said this
ALB2010 Dak is playing with the same team Romo did
thats a beautiful snowbunny
Johnny U. Yes indeed
Johnny U. Amen
She is also dumb as a rock.
FAX!!! ;)
crazyjack000 lol
i like this guy. Nothing but non-biased intelligent views out of his mouth.
Excellent analysis...
This guy is awesome, who is he
Rochelle Moneak This is his best work.. i promise
Rochelle Moneak he's incredible at his job.
nick wright he is one of the realest dudes out there
Wish he had his own show
he's got a good thing going with Colin, he's getting opportunity to improve because it looks like Colin is grooming him for a future in the business
Right on!
Nick Wright Need His Own Show!!
Preach!
Hands down ,the best Dak/Romo argument I've heard. This guy is very intelligent
Why doesn't Nick have his own show?
Romo fan. Agree with everything said here. Except that trip Romo took with Jessica Simpson wasn't on a bye week, it was the week before the divisional round of the playoffs when they were the top seed in the NFC in 2007.
yup he has a point.
Very good analysis by this guy.
Who should start in Dallas: Dak or Romo?
Dak
DAK definitely!!!!
Colin Cowherd ROMO !!!
Dak ! Because he is the chosen one ! Chosen one too bring the Super Bowl home .History repeats itself ! A)Bledsoe < Brady B) romo < Dak !
Colin Cowherd dak unless he gets injured or starts playing back
I love Nick Wright's analysis.
Yes! Cowboys have potential to be INSANE next year with everyone coming back, potential picks from a Romo trade.
Trade Romo to the Jets for one of their D Linemen in the offseason.
Shane Barraza that is genius my friend, maybe add a 3rd round pick too
i agree w/ this... either Richardson or Wilkerson
Tom Landry and Jimmy Johnson.
I've never took this guy seriously until I saw this video.
Nick Wright needs his own show
Romo has never won anything, give dax a chance he will win.
Ray Ragbar what's your point? Dak hasn't won anything as well
Justin Scott dak has done more in half a year than Romo
Tarheelheat romo has won more games than dak too
1. Dak hasn't had a chance. you cant fault someone for not winning a superbowl while they are in college genius.
How can you compare 12 years in the league to somebody that's only played 8 games in his nfl career?
Dak is just a stone cold killer at the moment. I think it says a lot about a person when you can go through the worst thing most of us will ever go through (losing your mom, to cancer nonetheless) come back the next Sunday and lead your CFB program to an upset win over LSU. He knows what adversity is like and he knows how to win in spite of life hitting him in the face. That's the type of young quarterback any team would want.
#CowboysNation
If it ain't broke don't fix it. Period
Krazy U 😂😂😂😂
Krazy U When it Brakes it Will B 2 Late
lovin the andrew luck beard
i think romos trade value is not that big at 36 with injurys every 5 secs and killer contract, the cowboys would take 3rd or a 2nd which is pretty good if they can dump that contract
lalo924 are you crazy?!? What do you think the Jets would give up for him? Lots of teams would give up a 1st and other stuff for Romo.
Powerlifter83 that would be a great move for the Jets. they're stacked other than qb
lalo924 yea a lot of people think that but look at how many teams are desperate for a QB
Homie needs his own show
This reminds me of the 49ers with Colin andAlex.
Did he say "Cornhole relations with Jessica Simpson"..?
This Nick guy is really really good.
Bradford went for a 1st and 4th round pick was due to the Vikings desperation
Nick Wright = superb sports journalist
Dak win Dak plays...but if Romo comes back and get hurt that trade value drops drastically.
But if he does not play and prove that he can then what good is his trade value?
They would have to go on his body of work. Sell him as a pro bowl qb when healthy.
D Rek Martin
So if the cowboys say that Dak is better they would still be able to get good trade value out of him? I am saying start Romo now and either trade him next year or keep him until Dak's rookie contract is up.
Glock2201 Its no longer a matter of if tony grt hurt its when will tony get hurt. Athletically Dak is better...football IQ Tony better both are good qbs. Looks like the future is now. If they can't negotiate a good deal with Tony I would move on from him. Noway Id pay 20m to a back up. Somebody would take romo thinking they can protect him. He goes out there and get hurt u lose leverage. I'd protect him till next year if Dak continues to shine. Only way romo would see the field is injury or poor play from Dak at this point.
*****
this guy is WAY better than colins
Clayborne might also go to the Pro Bowl if he continues playing like this.
yeah. this dude is sleeping on mo
5:11 lol No
When Nick is on point man he's on
Next year should not be in the conversation right now. Focus should be on the best decision for this year. Worry about next year in the off season.
Why would we hope that? I don't get that? What can't Romo finish the year and then they battle out the position next year in camp?
Idc what y'all say Kristine is cute af 😂
Who said she isn't dude? I only clicked this for her. Nick Wright sucks.
Will Moxley She looks like she can take a good pounding too..
Dak prescott for President.
They drafted great on the O-Line because their O-Line was horrible. Remember the year Romo couldn't get the center to snap on time and over shot him on EVERY shotgun. He's made of paper mache now BUT at one point Tony was body strong and WAS BEATEN into the dirt for like 3 seasons with the worst O-line in the world.

Orlando chavez putting 40 on denver 3 years ago means nothing
+Obey The Good Guy Vintage it means he can go against other great qbs smart guy.
👏👏👏👏👏
I couldn't have said it better. People do not know this, Romo has never had a top ten defense in points allowed but once. On the other hand Tom Brady has never won a superbowl without a top 10 defense in allowed points. In fact 30 out of the last 49 superbowl teams has had top ten defenses in points allowed.

So you can say Brady never won a championship without a good defense but he sure has taking them to the AFC or Superbowl even when he had a subpar defense which you cant say with Romo

without a top 10 defense in points allowed. Who would have thought defense means something? Peyton Manning has never won anything without having a TOP 5 defense (not top 10, but top 5) in allowed points and he had the greatest offense ever one year. Romo has carried this franchise for years without having a TOP defense in points allowed except one time.
mo Claiborne is a shutdown corner this year. look at his match ups hes had this year and see what he has allowed.
This guy is perfect on everything he is saying
Nick is the Dak of radio, send Cowturd to the bench
on a different note, nick just made me realize my dolphins are the anti-cowboys, 1 pro bowler drafted in the first round since 2010, CENTER mike pouncey, smh
Nick should have his own show
The thing with trading Romo to me is, he won't have an offensive line like the Cowboys to protect him. If I were a owner, that would be taken into consideration. How many snaps are we going to get out of this guy? Before he's sidelined again.
but for a long time he never had a great OL like we have in Dallas now. Part of the reason why he is so injury prone is because for the first 7 years or so in big D he was running for his life with no OL to speak of.
And he was a lot younger also.
Ezekiel Elliot and Lesean McCoy? I mean what's the point of overlooking David Johnson at this point?
Romo is damaged goods, he isn't worth a 1st round pick.
Geraldo S Romo is going to shut all you haters up and win that Lombardi in Febuary#cowboyfolife#hurrybackRomo&Dez
Chris White your delusional
Romo is another sack away from retirement.
& Bradford's 2 ACL surgery, Linky skinny xss is ?
Romo is older than Bradford so just cuz Bradford went for a 1st and 4th, doesn't mean Romo will. Romo will be worth like just a 1st round pick or a 2nd and a 5th or something.
Tell Kristine Leahy Happy Belated Birthday & Welcome to "The Dirty 30" club ... Cheers!
This is the first good argument I've heard in favor of starting Prescott over Romo. I still think the best way to go is to play Romo if he's healthy this year. Next year, everything's on the table.
Bring him back Jerry!
Specifically for that Eagles game lol
NO! the browns game is the best for tony to come back to. low risk and high reward.
I agree 100% I love Romo but I love the Cowboys more!
so disappointing on so less facetime on the pretty grill dan the thumbnail promised
I think David Johnson is the best RB at the moment but Zeke is definitely in the conversation.
he had me the first 30 seconds then he lost me
Nick and Colin make a good duo
Romo rather have Dak 1-5, so no one will talk about whose going to start
Saying that is unfair to Romo. Say whatever you want about him but he is a team player and has been a warrior for his team.
lol he said Zeke and LeSean were the best running backs in the NFL which is fair but u must have forgot about David Johnson.
Brandon Staton uhhhhh forgetting about Levian bell?
0neChubbyBunny I didn't think I needed to include the best back in the league, that's a given
David Johnson is a excellent back i like his game a lot. but at the end of the day his team is 3-3 so he is not gonna get as much love at a 5-1 cowboys and a 4-2 bills.. bell is the best overall yes BUT he was out 3 games so his stats arent up there and wont be since others had a 3 game head start. AS OF NOW, not the beginning or the end, RIGHT now .. Zeke is the best then sean
***** everyone is gonna have those days but let me know when u find a running back that is getting over 100 scrimmage yards besides David and Leveon effortlessly
well bradford is still young while romo is 36 and incredibly injury prone. so no romo is not worth a first round pick and may not have any trade value at all with his contract
Ryne Napier the midgets would love to have Romo
Chris White a 36 yr old injury prone 2 playoff win romo? yeah were dying to have him.
I'll take Eli over Romo any day.
***** if he was a FA id say hed deff get signed, but with his contract situation i just cant see any real trade value. no other team is gonna want to pay romo 15+ million a year
Ryne Napier then you would have no backup. So they should just keep romo (an excellent qb already) as the back up.
This guy makes the best argument for staying with Dak and letting Romo cover him when and if he slides any.He nails it perfectly.
Nick b on point b
Nick is becoming one of my favorite voices in the sports world
Will McClay
I sincerely hope somebody will give us a first round pick for romo but with his age and injury history i wouldn't bet on it. Maybe a second and a couple mid round picks, but he's too injury prone at this point to get any more than that
Yeah this guy needs his own show. He's legit
For your reason no1. If dak struggles and then you bench him he will have his confidence shaken and ya never know it but it could ruin what he has going. If you put Romo in now and he does great then all good. If he's bad, then dak comes in and his confidence is even higher! Romo should come back. Don't mess with our future! It's the smart thing to do
BRAVO BRAVO
The best advice I've heard on this topic.
Nick wright needs to have his own show Colin who?
Ehhh Sam Bradford is younger. Romo would be worth at least two second rounds picks.
Next year plan: Trade Romo to the Jets, and grab one of their decent front 7 guys and a 2nd round pick (or whatever else you can rip out of the Jets). Keep Dez or trade him to get a top line, younger TE to give dak that blanket if witten retires. If he doesn't retire, then you can employ a two TE system like the pats. Draft a WR early to develop if you trade dez, or grab a DB and focus mostly on defense in the draft. Would put the cowboys over the top next year. Eagles fan btw.
someone show the cowboy this, he speaks the truth
Claiborne has actually been really good this year. Still, overall good analysis by Wright.
if he's bad his stock comes down too
Next man up has stepped in for the longhaul
Tony will always have my support & revering
But currently, Dak has my total allegiance
As Romo once did
I feel like people think its a crime to have Romo be the backup qb.
MW2GEEK99 I love romo and that's not why people get angry it's the bashing that he's getting for no reason and the disloyalty
Oh boy, he did good, untill he said you should get at least a 1st and a 4th rounder for Romo.. That's idiotic
Daumantas Žukauskas He might not lead a team to the SB, but his numbers he can put up are worth a 1st.
David Parkes You're crazy. You don't get a 1st for a 36yr old qb who is injury prone and coming off of a back injury. A 4th rounder *at best*
Daumantas Žukauskas True, but if you're the Browns or any other QB desperate team you'd be willing to give whatever you could for a guy who (when he is healthy granted) can finally give your team a winning record or at least 500.
David Parkes No, any other QB desperate teams are rebuilding, save maybe the Jets, but they have a solid shot at top 5 pick. As for the Broncos, no way Elway gives Romo 17mil, that contract is ridiculous and noone wants it on their salary cap.
Daumantas Žukauskas Yeah but when was the last time the Browns had a halfway decent draft? Lol. You're probably right, plus i can't see him willingly taking a pay cut.
The only worry I have about keeping Dak is come playoffs time he might get his confidence broken and we're out a future franchise QB.
dak for momentum and see how it goes and romo for the backup
Room=Super Bowl
Dak=1st Round Exit
Dinkin & Dunking Aint Gonna Cut it Against Playoff Teams
Romo is a good quarterback, but his performance sinks (sucks) considerably during post season (2 wins/4 losses). Hope Dak fares better in these playoffs.
Jerry Jones will mess it up. he's done it since he fired the coaches who won the Superbowls for Dallas.
Robert Martin I want his son to take over
Time has come jaylon Smith wrecking the league
Romo won't get a first and a third round pick because trading team has to pick up that HUGE contract....
romo should go to the texans
Romo wouldn't be done in Dallas in that happend. Think about it like a GM would. Romo doesn't play well for a few games.. Well, then you say Romo wasn't at full strength and still had some issues and you want to let him rest up more. Maybe he is done maybe he isn't at that point but thats how you spin it. Come on man!!
Dak is too aggressive to doubt him... but Romo is great no matter what.
Dak skipped that concert because a certain negative element (who lives matter) was going to be all over that concert and last time he was around that element that element tried to ruin his life. he learned from that mistake
elchucofried went to black Spring Break once.....the savagery was off the chain
i would easily take david johnson or le'veon over elliott
Imagine either of them with that O-Line. Scary stuff
insane! Zeke is a stud too, nothing against him at all
No one is giving up a 1st round pick for Romo giving his age and injury history..Sam Bradford got that because he's still young and we know the talent is there but he's never played on a complete team in his career with or without injuries..The salary cap hit another team is going to take to acquire Romo plus the picks better be worth it
J Thomas browns
WHAT DID HE JUST SAY DID HE SAY THAT TONY ROMO IS A TOP 10 QUARTERBACK!!!!!!!!!!!!! ???????????????????????
this was a pretty brilliant analysis. spot on. And especially the part about how unless dallas wins the superbowl, everyone is going to talk trash.
Trade Romo to the #Jets for our 3rd and Wilkerson and their 5th
levark winston that'd be dope if Dak pays off
Jack Azz throw in a billion dollars to my account and your first round pick then we have a deal
Romo will retire as a cowboy. If someone really should pick him up it should be the Jets because they need it, but I doubt it.
Dak its a no question
This is 100% on the money on everything he is saying I love Romo to but i love the cowboys 10 times more we are winning and have great chemistry so we shouldn't change anything
