In reply to Pam Adams.

By the time Romo healed, JJ had more confidence in Prescott than in Romo. So much more that JJ directed Romo to sit on the bench. After the season JJ released him.

After breaking his back, Romo, wisely chose retirement rather than playing for another team in need of a quality QB as DEN. It would have been very risky for him to continue his career elsewhere.

Seeing Romo, humbly, sitting on the bench and being forced to helplessly watch his DAL team win games without him, put a series of sadness and despair into the hearts of many DAL fans. Personally, I felt for him.

You are right. Keep Romo out of this.
