Is it Time For Romo To Call It Quits

It seems that every time Tony Romo is hit by contact he goes down for a half a season.  This weekend a simple run out of the pocket trying to avoid a tackle he folded up under a mediocre tackle.  It was the first time he has been touched this preseason after missing most of last year with another that knocked him out for the season.

Can the Dallas  Cowboys continue to pay Tony  Romo the millions he get to sit in a doctor office getting MRI's?.  As the norm several major players has been lost for the season with injuries already this season.  It has been suggested that already this preseason that it is time to either eliminate preseason or cut it back to two games.  It is time to do it something because players are costing teams too much money to not be on the field.  

This weekend if they were only playing two exhibition games then this week 3rd preseason game would have been first game of the season.  What is the difference if the the 3rd practice game a player goes down or the third game of the season.  They are still high priced and collecting checks with cast on.

Now the sad case of Colin Kapernick.  The last two preseason games  has failed to stand for the National Anthem.  He claims he is protesting the way minorities are treated in this country.  He is a quarterback that had a great rookie year and has failed to come any where close to his first production.  I find it hard to believe that life style he lives he shows much compassion for those that don't have it no where near as good as he has.  Not standing for the National Anthem is a cheap way to get big headline.

As far as I am concerned with the lifestyle he lives I invite him to move to another country where minorities are treated better if he can find one.  The NFL can't do much to him an even the 49'ers are over a rock and a hard place.  Could it be that Kaepernick might be on the verge of being cut and this is a play on his part to keep them from cutting him.  How would it look for the 49'ers to cut him with all this going now.
