by Da`Vince “Dino” Wright

Let`s face it. The surgery that Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is a difficult one. So many quarterbacks has been through what he`s going through right now. Repairing a broken clavicle in the right hands is easy. You have thousands of doctors and specialists performing this type of surgery everyday of the week. But in this case, Tony Romo is not the ordinary patient laying on the table. In the minds of Cowboy faithful he is the catalyst of the team and we need him healthy to win a Super Bowl. Let`s take a look at what happened to where we as Cowboy fans go from here.

The Injury

He broke his clavicle three different times in 5 years. This is a problem, we need him under center to win games. Every time he takes a sack or gets hit the fans, front office and players begin to sweat. This surgery hes having is to get the bone plated for protection. Plating the bone is basically hinging it to keep it from cracking or popping out of place.

Next Move for the Cowboys

Dallas has to draft a quarterback or sign another starter caliber quarterback over the off season. The Cowboys have a few veterans to chose from in the upcoming months. Fans would love to see RG3, Chase Daniels, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Matt Moore or Tarvaris Jackson as a back up. You look at that list of names and say, “What is he thinking?” The key to the offense success over the past 3 years is the line. Look at what happened when DeMarco Murray ran behind it. Darren McFadden got a 1,000 yards behind them this past year. Romo is the leader but the line is the key.

Tony Romo`s Contract

Let`s face it Tony Romo will retire a Cowboy. On March 4, 2014 he converted $12.5 million of his base salary into a signing bonus. The move created $12.8 million in cap space. So the money is there to sign or draft a back up. But getting someone isn`t the proble. Signing someone that`s ready to step in is key!
