The back injury is set to keep Tony out 6-10 weeks. That will give backup QB Dak Prescott a lot of time to sink in the NFL game. Prescott has shown some good command of the offense but he is a ways away from being a clear cut successor to Romo.

Regardless, it is time for Dak to play and Tony to heal. Maybe this ends up like another Trent Green-Kurt Warner situation and Romo never plays another down for the Cowboys again. Crazier things have happened.

Tony Romo has a broken bone in his back. It's officially Dak Prescott time for the Cowboys.

So should Tony Romo retire? Maybe not yet, but that time is soon.

If you believe the whispers that scouts are beginning to leak then that answer is a “yes.” The Cowboys reportedly will not pass on the Texas A&M quarterback if he falls to their pick in the draft.

Just texted scout to see if he believed Cowboys would take Manziel if Manziel was there. Scout: "Of course he would." Oh boy.

Considering the Cowboys pick 16th overall and have a 34 year old Tony Romo as the current starter, this is not out the realm of possibility. With Jerry Jones expect the unexpected.

Or as a great philosopher once said, “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!”
