It might be 2017, it might be 2018, but how would I have any idea where Romo will end up or how teams' QB needs will change.

Just another attempt at you to draw attention off of your own posts.

I love how you also avoid acknowledging that I'm not the only one saying this and acting like my ideas are "extreme positions."

I'm not taking shots at you so much as just pointing out that you tend to fall pretty hard for hype and then you move on to the next.  Honestly, who doesn't Dak Prescott look better than right at this very moment? Romo is old, Romo gets hurt, and Romo got his start because Drew Bledsoe was old and got hurt. I get it, Dak Prescott is lighting up the preseason and Romo is old and could very well be IR-ed after game 3.

This may very well be the passing of the proverbial torch BUT we've also seen QB's drop off the face of the earth after posting regular season stretches of greatness. Nick Foles was supposed to be the franchise savior of the Eagles, Josh McCown was supposed to steal Cutler's job, Josh Freeman had his breakout season and then fell off the radar, so on and so forth. People love a good narrative and the idea that this QB any team could have grabbed was passed over and will lead "America's Team" to greatness against all odds is the sort of headline the NFL has been dying to print since the Romo experiment started looking grim.

Like I said, it's possible Dak is the QB in Dallas next year and Romo is plugged into the Jets or the Browns or something, but I think you get too worked up over any player with a bunch of empty space on his resume.
