“We decided against it because we weren’t in playoff contention”.

The Cowboys also made a move with Romo on Tuesday, placing him on injured reserve/designated to return. While he will be eligible to play November 22 against the Dolphins, the Cowboys have a short week of preparation for their Thanksgiving matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The typical recovery time is eight weeks.
Weeden, who turns 32 next month, has lost eight straight games as a starter, including past year against Arizona when Romo was out with a back injury. Brandon Weeden fizzled out in Cleveland to start and ended up as the backup in Dallas. I think a lot of that showed in his play [Sunday]. He will have a chance to get better and into a groove. You can get them off of other people’s practice squads. You can trade for them.
The Raiders say they’re not going to paint their 50-yard line numbers gold this season, according to Sports Business Daily.
The Dallas Cowboys have now filled a need that just opened up for them within the last couple of days. And as we go, Ryan is our quarterback….
Scheme fit – EJ Manuel’s physical skill set runs far more parallel to Tyrod Taylor’s than Matt Cassel’s did.
“I wouldn’t rule anybody out”.
But the Cowboys have faith in Weeden as starter.
The question is can he win games?
Both teams announced the trade, and two people familiar with the deal told The Associated Press about the draft picks involved because the round of the picks weren’t disclosed.
The Cowboys are 6-9 in 15 games without Romo since he became a starting quarterback in 2006.
While Weeden is in the starting lineup, Dallas faces the prospects of trying to beat the Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots, Eagles and Giants.
The injury was actually a reprise for Romo as he broke the same collarbone back in 2010, which led him to miss the last 12 games of the regular season.
“He has started games in the NFL”.
That leaves us five undefeated teams: the Cowboys, Falcons, Panthers, Broncos and Jets. As [quarterback coach] Wade Wilson said, he’s just not the same guy that we had previous year.

Another reason the Cowboys should get by without Romo and Bryant-the NFC East is downright disgraceful. Jones believes the whole team is deeper in talent this year than when Romo was sidelined in the past.
