When i first came here, it was before the back issues - I was still stinging from his massive contract, if you'll recall.When you first came to this board, you were openly lobbying for Romo to be released. The reasons why you did that (back, poor play, the choking allegations)
No change in position at all. Murray is not nifty, Emmitt was. See? So if you are saying Murray is nifty, clearly you're comparing him to Emmitt.Oh look, you've changed positions again and brought in a new strawman. No one is saying he's Emmitt.
I've said, i don't really care exactly WHO replaces them, i fully expect people we already have to step up and fill the role. That's what pro football players DO.if we lose Dez and Murray, why don't you get specific about your plan for replacing them? This has been asked of you a number of times, but you keep ignoring it. Get specific. Who's replacing Murray and Dez if we lose them?
There's not any question that suddenly finding a running game helps a floundering but high passing stats quarterback. Elway can tell you all about that. Less almost always IS more, in this regard. That's no insult to Romo, or Elway. And there's also no question the type of back surgery Tony had, changes you. Changes everything you do and in fact, how you even think about everything you do. That can be a big positive or a big negative, and Tony was able to make it a big positive. And with a good offseason of healing and rehab, and rest, I expect him to be even better physically then he was last year and also expect him to be able to play at a high level for at least a couple years, if not more.then when he played like an MVP, you couldn't maintain your ludicrous opinions on him any more. He made you look like an ass. And then you started heaping faint praise on him for gutting out the back issues, with the backhanded compliments... saying he was successful but implying that it was only because the coaching staff masked the back issues with using Murray as a workhorse. Even when you gave him credit, you alluded to his great play being due to other people's performance and decisions.
I'm not exaggerating the reactions I've seen here to even the very suggestion we might lose both Dez and Murray. When people throw the "rebuilding" tag around, they ARE in a panic and having a conniption. Their palms sweat, their eyes blink uncontrollably, their heart rate skyrockets - at the mere suggestion. It's irrational fear.
And there's been no whining, it's been chuckling.
In the highly unlikely event we lose both Dez and Murray, we ain't gonna die. There won't be floods or famine. We'll just plug in the next guys and move on.
