Before I continue, let me note that as a Green Bay stockholder, I do not and will not wager on any NFL game as it is a violation of league rules and would void my ownership rights. That being said, Romo sounds done to me and I will be interested to see how long he can continue to play.
Since his back surgery seven months ago we have had the typical he said/she said from Jerry Jones and the rest of the Cowboys organization about whether or not Romo is 100%. Romo himself in a recent interview said he was working to getting up to where he wanted to be - for me a clear indication he was not 100%. Even the Dallas Morning News is noticing him stating in a recent scrimmage his play was uneven. More telling though is the fact that the Cowboys are holding Mr. Romo out of the one or two series he might have played in Thursday's opening preseason game against the Chargers.
I could be wrong, but something tells me Mr. Romo is much worse than expected and something tells me the entire organization is in fear that the line breaks down in such a way that Tony is re-introduced to Jason Hatcher or other members of the Redskins D line in a compelling way. I don't think I have anything against Tony Romo personally. I have never been a Dallas fan and don't anticipate becoming one. He seems like a good guy, though I don't think he is the one I would want leading my team - too much gunslinger who shows up game day, but does not put in the mental effort of a Peyton Manning or Derek Jeter.
In any case, the season clearly rests on his surgically repaired back which for me means a record 5-11. No questions about making or not making the playoffs this year Mr. Jones.
