    Dank Statistics: 22 of 27 passes for 338 yards, four passing touchdowns, two rushing touchdowns, zero interceptions, a perfect passer rating of 158.3 and 9-for-9 on scoring drives (51 points). Those are phenomenal. No rookie quarterback in the past decade has come close to putting up those type of statistics.

    FFootball fan -- you can't ignore those numbers esp after Romo had to leave his first game after 3 plays with another back injury.

    No doubt. I would say steal of the draft and give kudos to that franchise but they were too busy trying to trade up for Paxton Lynch and got sniped by the Broncos instead. So instead of losing picks and getting Lynch, they were unhappily left with Dak in the 4th. They should get no credit for one of the better pickups this year.

    Also someone just dropped out of moes fantasy league leaving an open spot. Jump in and get your feelings hurt. :eek:

    they're not releasing. Some are saying they are hearing 6-10 weeks from now, but Garrett hasn't even ruled out week 1 of the season (yet).

    Dak or bust I guess. The circus started early this year. I think Romo needs to hang it up. The NFL is no place for aging, fragile players. He comes back again and then what? Another seemingly minor hit and he's out again. Sorry but your body is telling you something here regardless of what his mind is telling him. He can't be protected at a level where he can never get hit. It's. not happening. This is an exercise in futility.

    I never disliked Romo but never liked the Cowboys. Since I moved from Houston that hate has turned to indifference. But I really like Dak for some reason. Thought he had lots of potential.

    So I can see myself watching some cowboy games this year.

    After this preseason, wonder if most fans would rather have Prescott or Osweiler starting for their team? Guess we'll find out real soon which is the real deal. Dak has a significantly better O-line though so that should help tremendously.

    Romo back after the bye, so week 8. Still gives him a 10 game season if he can stay healthy...and if Dak hasn't seized the opportunity.

    Omg fanatics are crazy and not reality based. Dark is going to fall so far back down to earth it's going to be breathtaking. He better be prepared to hand the ball off a whole ****ing lot.

    If you don't account for salary and truly care about winning games this season, the answer is a no-brainer. Otherwise, it's debatable.

    If Dak pans out for the Cowboys, my dilemma of liking their QB and stronging disliking the team will continue on many more years.

    Romo needs to hang it up immediately. I truly wish him the best after his career.
