Tony Romo out for four weeks (1 Viewer)

Might be a good time to trade a QB to the Romo owner in your league if they are desperate. Then in 4 weeks you'll have a fully healthy Romo for the stretch run.

Broken pinky? So what. Tape it up and get out there. What a sissy.

That's exactly what I thought when I heard the news.Nobody should ever be allowed to compare Romo or his game to Favre's ever, ever again.

I'm interested in Romo's value now that he'll miss 4 weeks. I'd like to try to snag him as his owner in my league doesn't have a backup on his roster (we carry very small benches). Would the pool agree that Romo would still warrant a Roethlisberger or a Rivers type (although Rivers's value should have jumped after last night). What level of QB would it take to pry Romo away from a desperate owner?

So, assuming you have 2 decent QB options on your roster what would it take to pry Romo? A Rivers/Rodgers type or something less like a Shaub or Eli? Again, your gonna miss 4 - 5 weeks of production with Romo.

If you have 2 decent QBs, I'd rather trade/package one to get a good WR from the Romo owner.

There go Owens' catches.......all the way down from 3 a game to....um...never mind

Game plan has to change... No more Romo rollout and wait 5 seconds for guys to get open deep. If Garret changes the calls and does what Aikman used to do. 3 second quick passes.

If they do that slants to Owens, Witten, etc. Brad Johnson could be effective.

this is ignorance. if a QB cant throw the ball accurately do to a broken finger, then he is no good to your team. BJ is a crafty veteran. he may or may not work out for the team. but you gotta go with what gives you the best chance to win. there is no "being a sissy"

they used to do more the quick passing stuff with Romo. again the playcalling, poor pass protection, Romo forcing throws/not protecting the ball have all brought us to now.

Bledsoe played with a broken pinkie. Just sayin.

Did anyone else see the press conference with Wade Phillips as it aired live on ESPN2? When asked about Romo's return he said it was a week to week thing. Just a mis speak or maybe he thinks he will be back before the bye. I really think he comes back for the Giant game.

very bad news for all Dallas O players.... expect a heavy dose of Barber to come

...and Barber can expect to see eight in the box in heavy doses

I'm thinking--hoping--that Witten is the play here.

Out 4 weeks? That means he'll miss the Giants game but be back for the Redskin game in Washington.

 

[Hoart Petterson]

Just rub some tussin on it, get that medicine all up in there.

estimated by ESPN to be 4 weeks.

Favre could get his hand chopped off on a Wed and throw 3 TDs with the bloody stump the following Sunday. Romo is most often compared to Favre. That needs to stop.

And with a rod inserted in his finger poking out.

Bledsoe played with a broken pinkie. Just sayin.

And we all saw how good that turned out.

How do Romo owners feel about his chances of being a top 3-5 qb in the playoffs @Pitt, NYG, and Balt?

Then I'd expect Barber's receptions to increase. They'll use him like they did last week in the passing game. Either way I still think this will not significantly effect Barber.

Romo reminds me of Favre. Gunslinger!

Romo reminds me of Favre. Gunslinger!

Speaking of Favre.He called Romo about this injury today and is suggesting a specially designed splint that Favre had used when he had that broken thumb some years ago. He told Romo that if he can withstand the pain, it works. No real confirmation yet, but I wouldn't count out Romo for 4 weeks just yet. There are things at work. Proceed with caution.

Thats what Im thinking. Complete speculation of course, but I wouldnt be surprused if he made it back in time for the Giants game.
