Many are missing the point.
So we find a "young QB coach" and hand them the keys to the offense? Let them call all the plays and Coordinate for the first time? If not, who calls the plays? Our Defensive minded HC?
This OC hire has to be experienced. We can groom someone behind him.
I'd give up a 3rd for Romo right now. Romo to Sammy would be fun. Maybe we get lucky and he stays healthy for a year. I'm sure we could develop an offense that could minimize QB hits, especially with our run game.
Strong run game and Romo play action is a recipe for success
The problem, from a team perspective, is that contract. If he retires it frees up a bunch of space. If he decides to come back, the team really can't count on him but he still carries a big contract. Tough spot.
