[The Hawk]

Once again. See you later Cowboys. Romo is done.

Dak Prescott has been looking studly; should be interesting.

That's a bummer for Romo. Couldn't stay healthy last season, and is already set to miss most of this season. I think he should retire. He's had enough back injuries.

Seems so....he might need to consider his long term health depending on the details of this injury.

If he keeps that play up in the regular season it won't be a problem. I'm interested to see how he does in the regular season.

I'm gonna be pissed if a) they have a winning record with Prescott by mid-season b) if they make the playoffs with him Why...cuz we had 3 chances 2 get him.

Bears could have drafted A Rodgers too, are you still feeling the sting from that?

naw.....we had Grossman ( 25yrs old), Orton and Blake

I could try to think of a very talented QB who has had worse luck throughout his career, but I doubt any come close to Tony.

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is wearing a back brace as he begins his recovery from a compression fracture of his L1 vertebrathat he suffered Thursday against the Seattle SeahawksRomo's fracture was diagnosed on Friday after he had an MRI. After the game, Romo said he felt fine and was even more confident his back could withstand a hit like the one he took Thursday from Seahawks defensive end Cliff Avril.
For now, Romo's rehab will consist of rest and immobility, but Garrett will not rule him out of the Sept. 11 season opener against the New York Giants. A source said Romo will miss 6-10 weeks.
"We've gotten a lot of different timetables for when he can return," Garrett said. "We also know that he's played with a broken bone in his back before, so there's no reason for me to stand up here and put a timetable on this. I think a lot of other people outside of this building have suggested they know what the timetable is. That's not the world we live in. We live in the world day by day, do what you can to get yourself better and we'll update you as we go."
In 2014, Romo missed one game after suffering two transverse process fractures after getting kneed in the back against the Washington Redskins. The Cowboys went 1-11 in games played without Romo last year after he broke his left collarbone twice.
Sunday is the first full practice day for the Cowboys since Romo got hurt. They had a conditioning run and walk-through on Saturday. Dak Prescott, who will replace Romo as the starter, is taking the first-team snaps with Jameill Showersas the backup. The Cowboys will look for veteran help at backup during Romo's absence.
Garrett told the players of Romo's injury after Saturday's workout.

After missing 12 games last season -- and 27 games since the start of 2008 -- Cowboys QB Tony Romo will begin the 2016 season on the sideline, as sources confirmed that he's likely to miss 6-10 weeks.

Boy, I actually feel bad for Romo. I didn't realize he had so many injuries yr. 2 yr.

 

[dweebs19]

so you saying i should draft Dak Prescott tonight in my draft?

 

[Pegger]

IMO Romo is done. Look at all the great players specifically at that position in Peyton and Favre. Both guys were iron men, but at a certain age smaller hits cause greater impact and the body just takes longer than a week to recover.

This last hit wasn't dirty or a play where Romo was being risky. He stepped up as the pocket collapsed around him, started to run, then decided to slide. When he was 27-28 he would have either scrambled a bit faster avoiding the hit or gotten hit, but avoided injury.

The Cowboys have restructured his deal so much that next year is the first time they can move on and it would create cap space ($5.1M). IMO he'll retire after June and they'll be allowed to spread his remaining cap hit over the past two years.

In 2011 he also played with a broken rib and a punctured lung. At the same time I also had a broken rib, and it hurt like a sumbich. I couldn't imagine playing football with one. he's definitely not a pussy, but rather unlucky. At least he got to have sex with Jessica Simpson, so there's that.
