2016 NFL Week Two Hot Takes: End of the Tony Romo Era?
By Erik Lambert
Dak Prescott takes big step towards keeping Romo benched
It sounds absolutely insane when first offers, but as the weeks have gone on the conversation is growing serious. After another injury setback and his well-documented age, people are wondering if Tony Romo could actually lose his job if rookie Dak Prescott plays well enough. After two weeks of near spotless performance and making the big play to beat Washington, several voices in the media are buying into that thought. Doing so without hesitation too.
What a difference a year makes. Still, the status of Romo remains a big topic. Some wonder if he should ever play football again. These injuries he’s suffered the past two years aren’t the normal ligament or muscle problems. He’s suffering broken bones in some pretty important parts of his body, including his spine. One can understand he’s a competitor and is desperate to win a Super Bowl, but his long-term health should take ultimate precedence.
