What it will take for Bledsoe to get benched

[goshan]

Here is what I believe.
Bledsoe will get benched under the following circumstances:

1. Two consecutive losses where he throws multiple picks and we lose. Yes I think a loss this week to the Texans combined with a poor Bledsoe performance and Romo will become the starter. If Bledsoe has a good game this week, he will probably need two consecutive bad games before he is benched.

OR

2. Half-way through the season, we are below .500.

OR

3. Bledsoe is injured.

[skinsscalper]

A death.............of either Parcells or Beldsoe.

4. compound fracture and/or ruptured internal organ(s)

[LaTunaNostra]

1. An invasion by Mars with the space ships landing in Texas Stadium on game day and an ultimatum by the head Martian that Bledsoe be benched or the earth will be destroyed.

2. Phil Simms comes out of retirement.

3. The league abolishes offensive units.

Parcells would select Scott Brunner over Simms. :D

You put Romo in, the season is over.

I firmly believe that.

[Chuck 54]

If you think Romo will become the QB before this team is all but out of the playoff race, you're crazy. We will have to be on the verge of a lost season and total collapse with the team turning on Bledsoe before Parcells will make the move, and then it will be to deflect the blame from himself.

Bledsoe stays on pace and the season is over anyway. Believe THAT.

I believe that 100%.

He wouldnt even put Henson/Romo in when we were out of it in 2004. Just kept going with Vinny.

Possibly, but I think people are kidding themselves if they think Romo is going to lead us to the Playoffs.

I think he would take his lumps and get valuable experience but I doubt we make the playoffs.

Drew Bledsoe sucked it up big time, but alot of guys sucked it up.

The old saying always goes, "The most popular guy on the team is the backup QB."

Also one more point. Many said the same thing when Bledsoe went down in New England. We all know how that turned out. I'm not saying that Romo is Brady, but we won't know until we know. Brady was a sixth round pick for cryin' outloud. Look at Delhomme.Howlong did he sit on the bench, only for the entire league to find out that there was pretty damn good quaterback just sitting there. One thing I DO know is that Romo's a lot more mobile and apt to make a play (even if it's running for his life) when he's being pressured by the opposing defense. That, my friend, is a fact.

If this is a preview of what to expect for the remainder of the season, then don't be surprised with a 9-7 season and if we do make the playoff, expect an early exit.

I would rather suffer with a 7-9 record with Romo and have him ready for next year than to continue this crap another year. Bledsoe will NOT bring us a championship - New England knew it, and Buffalo knew it.

Parcells is just too damn stubborn or too full of himself to make the switch.

That last quote is very true, and I'm with ya on a lot of points, bro. But with THIS personel and THIS offensive line, Bledsoe's not the guy. With Seattle's, or Kansas City's line of last year Bledsoe would be a monster. But that's NOT what we have. Hell, if Bledsoe had the line that Aikman had in the 90's, you could make a strong arguement that Bledsoe himself might have three rings. But, it's not happening here. Not with this personel.

I think it would take a whole lot for Parcells to bench Bledsoe.

1) Bledsoe is one of Parcells' guys. Parcells drafted Bledsoe with the first pick in the draft in his first year with the Patriots. When they were together Bledsoe played very well for him.

2) If Parcells didn't think a whole lot of Bledsoe he would not have brought him to Dallas. That just showed how much Parcells likes and respects him.

3) Bledsoe has said on numerous occasions that he won't play for another team after he leaves Dallas. Thus, Parcells knows that if he benches Bledsoe that Bledsoe's career is basically over.

4) Parcells knows how close Bledsoe is to being seriously considered for the Hall of Fame. If Bledsoe could have a couple more years with a lot of yards he would get serious consideration. More importantly, if Bledsoe could win a Super Bowl he would probably be considered a likely Hall of Famer. Parcless won't want to take that away from him.

5) Parcells trusts Bledsoe more than Romo. It would take a whole lot for that to change. The only way Parcells decides to trust Romo more is if he truly believes that Bledsoe's career is over and he can't play anymore.

[Juke99]

I'll tell ya one thing, if Romo isn't the answer, this franchise is in for a long hard road.

And it's not as if he was a blue chipper. The odds are against him. That's not to say he won't be a good QB but my oh my if he isnt.

[chinch]

why?

it's very easy to draft at top QB and we can give up many picks to achieve this.

it's not like we're hurting in any position (as we were pre-Tuna).

.

we will see a lot more new starters other than Romo if we lose to the texans.

Seems to be exactly what you're saying.

Then maybe you should focus more on the comprehension part of reading and comprehension.

I don't think anywhere in my post I said "we've got Brady sitting on the bench". The point of my post was that WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE HAVE IN ROMO YET, but we DO KNOW what we have in Bledsoe. And, quite frankly, unless we play Houston, the Skins, and the Titans every week then we can expect to see much of the same. Unfortunately, our schedule gets TOUGHER after next weeks game not easier.

Hope that helps with your comprehension deficiency there, sport.

and that old saying never comes up if your starter is any good

it does however come up when you start the likes of Quincy Carter, Anthony Wright, Ryan Leaf ,Chad Hutchinson and Drew Bledsoe 2006

I find it funny that when anyone challenges someone's logic, said challengee always gets in a huff and says, "well, uhhhh, maybe you should learn to read... yeah, so there..."

Let's see, you drew the parallels that Bledsoe was starting at one time in New England, backed up by someone that was an relatively unheralded prospect coming out of college. Also said backup had never taken a snap in an NFL regular season game, so no one knew what the backup would provide.

And now you point out that Bledsoe is starting in Dallas with a parallel scenario. We won't know anything about Romo "until we know," just like Brady. Romo is more mobile than Bledsoe, just like Brady was. Romo's also more "apt to make a play," just like Brady was.

Oh but right you threw in that disclaimer... "I'm not saying Romo is Brady."

Well you may not be saying it per se, but you are definitely implying it. Don't insult our intelligence by saying that you're not saying it, and think that you can get away with it. It's elementary to recognize that it is what you were implying.

Comprehend THAT.

PS, you could also draw the parallels that Romo is in the same scenario as Henson, Hutchinson, etc. etc. were, but you didn't choose to make that implication did you? I bet if you did you wouldn't throw in a disclaimer that "I'm not saying Romo is Henson."

I dont know what games you are watching, but Bledsoe just isnt throwing well this yr...protection or no protection

he threw the ball very well last yr, but this yr he isnt...maybe its because he is urt or maybe its because he just doesnt have it anymore, but he stinks this yr

I don't think Jerry Jones will drop draft picks again after the Joey Galloway mess.

If Romo is not the answer (and we will not know that anytime soon), and Parcells retires (which means Bledsoe will leave) then we are toast.

[Da Hammer]

if Bledsoe continues to play we are screwed anyhow so we might as well let Romo play to see what we have in him even if he struggles

not a good example.

swapping #1s for an overrated WR (to compliment an aging Troy) is alot different than trading up for a young franchise QB.

not saying it's needed or going to happen but it's very possible.

the "toast" talk is really just a rationalization to hate Tuna.

I don't hate tuna per se. I think he's done a great job rebuilding almost every postion except QB and OL.

Right now, I just don't see Jerry trading away two or more picks to move up for a QB. But Jerry is a maverick, so anything is possible.

[kevwun]

Bledsoe is on pace for 28 interceptions and 12 fumbles. The only bus he should be driving is the short bus.

[ykc]

Here is Parcells dilema

He knows what he has in Bledsoe, if he can control his mistakes and keep a shot leesh, with this defense and offense weapons, he can lead this team to playoffs. Bledsoe is not Brady/Payton/Aikman but he is not Carter/Henson/Hutchinson either.

Romo is a big unknown right now. Would he take a gamble this early in the season on him? Remember, Romo might make plenty of mistakes too early in his career? what then if the Gamble didn't work? he can't go back to Bledsoe as he already indicated to his team, he is not good. The team would have lost confidense in him

In reality I don't think we will see Romo anytime soon unless we are eliminated from playoffs. Bledsoe will win one and lose one and when we are in the second half of the season fighting for playoffs, that would be the worst time to start Romo

BTW, I have completely given up on Bledsoe, I used to give him the benefit of doubt but after seeing the Jax/Philly games I just can't understand how he can just stand ther day dreaming forever holding on to the football
