The Dallas Cowboys desperately could use a quarterback right now, and some seem to think Tony Romo might be the guy.

With Dallas getting blown out at AT&T Stadium on Sunday at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles, fans at AT&T Stadium wanted to see a quarterback return.

The CBS broadcast spotted fans in the stadium who wanted to see Tony Romo — who was broadcasting the game with Jim Nantz — come out of retirement to help his former team.

“Romo Go In,” the sign read.

Tony Romo, who played for the Cowboys from 2004-16, then had the camera panned to him as he started stretching before stating that injuries wouldn’t allow him to ever get back on the field.

 

Romo, at his current age of 44, might be better suited to get something done over what Cooper Rush and Trey Lance produced on Sunday.

Rush was benched and replaced by Trey Lance after struggling in Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Rush completed 13-of-23 passes for 45 yards and two fumbles for loss before being replaced by the fourth-year quarterback.

 

Lance stepped in and completed four of six passes for 21 yards and tossing one interception.

Not Even A Prime Tony Romo Could Save This Dallas Cowboys Team

Dak Prescott will be sidelined for at least four weeks with a hamstring injury, but even when he was healthy, the team was not very good.

In eight games this season, Prescott threw for 1,978 yards, 11 touchdowns, and eight interceptions while registering an 86.0 passer rating. That has only produced three victories.

Unfortunately for Dallas Cowboys fans, Tony Romo is not walking through that door to save them, even if he was in his prime.

VIDEO: Popular ESPN Personality Destroys Tony Romo For “Ruining His Sunday Afternoon” With His Head-Scratching Comments About Ravens HC John Harbaugh

CBS analyst and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo offered a take so controversial that it caused a popular ESPN personality to have a full-scale meltdown on television.

Tony Romo and broadcast partner Jim Nantz were on the call for the Baltimore Ravens-Washington Commanders Week 6 contest at M&T Bank Stadium. During the third quarter, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback offered a giant hot take on the 2019 Coach of the Year:

“John Harbaugh, one of the best coaches…He’s a top 10 (head coach) all-time for me. He’s one of the rare coaches who knows all three phases: Special teams, defense, offense and he just has a great pulse. That’s why this team’s in it every year.”

One can argue that John Harbaugh will go down as a top 10 coach when he retires, but putting him that high right now is a little premature. But let’s say that perhaps nobody passionately disagreed with Romo’s take more than ESPN’s Chis Russo.

Speaking on Wednesday’s edition of “First Take”, Russo went on a scathing rant against Tony Romo for placing Harbaugh in the top 10.

“During the game, he says…John Harbaugh is one of the top 10 coaches, without a doubt, in the history of pro football. WHAT?! Have you heard of Don Shula? Have you heard of Chuck Noll? Have you heard of Andy Reid? Have you heard of Bill Belichick…Weeb Ewbank? HAVE YOU HEARD OF VINCE LOMBARDI?!…Paul Brown…Bill Walsh? Bill Parcells? Joe Gibbs?

He’s getting $17 million a year! At Northern Illinois, did he read a football book?…How in the world can you go on TV and ruin my Sunday afternoon?!”

 

Tell us how you really feel, Chris.

Tony Romo faced the Harbaugh-coached Ravens twice during his playing career, in 2008 and 2012. Harbaugh’s team emerged victorious in both meetings.

Romo has first-hand experience of what it’s like to face Harbaugh, who has coached the Ravens to four AFC Championship Game appearances (2008, 2011, 2012, and 2023) and a Super Bowl 47 title.

But a top 10 coach in history? Romo won’t find many takers to agree on that take right now.

Tony Romo’s Take On John Harbaugh Should Age Gracefully

John Harbaugh enters Week 7 with 164 career wins, which is 19th in history. The late Dan Reeves occupies the 10th spot with 190 wins, and Harbaugh is still behind Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin (177 wins) and Dallas Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy (170 wins) on the career leaderboard.

But Harbaugh is 62 years of age, which isn’t that old for an NFL coach these days. And with his Ravens in Super Bowl contention every year, it’ not a stretch to believe that he’ll be considered a top 10 coach when he walks away.
