That really is what you're saying.If something happens to Dak do you want to go with Sanchez?

Yes. He will need some game work to get up to speed. Otherwise effectively there is no backup who is reliable.So, let me make sure I understand you. They should start Romo so he can get into playing shape so he can be in shape enough to be the backup?
With all due respect, that's stupid.Yes. He will need some game work to get up to speed. Otherwise effectively there is no backup who is reliable.
What is so funny about that. It is after all a team strategy not a personal contest about quarterbacks.That really is what you're saying.
Why because it doesn't fit your preference niche.With all due respect, that's stupid.
I have never in all my years of football seen a team start a backup in order to get him ready in case he'd have to come in off the bench to spell someone.What is so funny about that. It is after all a team strategy not a personal contest about quarterbacks.
Romo has been out of uniform a long time and he will need game work to get back to speed.No Romo could roll out of a hospital bed and be better. No reason to start him.
Because you don't risk losing games to get a backup in shape. You're smarter than this. Stop.Why because it doesn't fit your preference niche.

Romo is no run of the mill back up. He was the starter and he has been inactive. If you want him fit for competition then he will need some work. Do you believe the coaching adage that if you don't practice you don't play? It's the same principal you are not game ready. If you haven't played for a while you are not game ready.I have never in all my years of football seen a team start a backup in order to get him ready in case he'd have to come in off the bench to spell someone.
That is downright ridiculous.
By this logic the backup QB should always split practice time with the 1's in every practice.Romo is no run of the mill back up. He was the starter and he has been inactive. If you want him fit for competition then he will need some work. Do you believe the coaching adage that if you don't practice you don't play? It's the same principal you are not game ready.

Pfft. New England and Indianapolis do/did it all the time with Brady and Manning.
It's mind-boggling.
Hey, let's take our starter out and start the backup because we need to make sure he's ready if he's going to be the backup.
Neither was Bledsoe, but you didn't see Belichick inexplicably take Brady out of the starting lineup in order to get Bledsoe ready to play should he have to come in later on.Romo is no run of the mill back up.

Wait. No they didn't
Nevermind.
Nice story but it was what it was. The team now is potentially vulnerable and I am making an opinionated declaration. Dak is fine and things are good as long as he stays upright. I am through.Neither was Bledsoe, but you didn't see Belichick inexplicably take Brady out of the starting lineup in order to get Bledsoe ready to play should he have to come in later on.
NO ONE has ever done this in all the years I've watched professional football.
This is an idea completely out of left field and there is no basis for this approach whatsoever.
That's what practice is for. Hell let the practice squad WRs stay late to work with him.Romo has been out of uniform a long time and he will need game work to get back to speed.
A 4 game lead in the win loss record would give Romo the time to "come up to speed" should he be called upon. You can lose a game while he "knocks off the rust."Again, Romo is not a run of the mill backup situation. But I have made my position so just hope Dak stays healthy.
Again, what are you basing this on, though?Nice story but it was what it was. The team now is potentially vulnerable and I am making an opinionated declaration. Dak is fine and things are good as long as he stays upright. I am through.
