I was the biggest Tony Romo fan on the planet, but there’s no way I’m re-inserting him after Dak and Zeke went on that year long run. That’s a terribly difficult situation, and in my mind, Garrett did the right thing.
Can you imagine the shitstorm he would have been under if Romo threw a couple bad picks and the team folded?
It’s been done before. Remember Flutie taking the Bills offense over while Rob Johnson was hurt back in the 90s? Johnson gets healthy and ends up starting the playoff game and ultimately lost it? That’s a hard decision.
All that being said, Romo gives/gave you the best chance to win at 80% vs. Dak’s 100%.
