Beast is very confused and needs somebody to explain how starting Romo means the season is over because of the mistakes he will make, but Bledslow has thrown more picks than 30 other starting QBs?

Seems to me Romo cant do much worse, but maybe I am missing something here?

:confused:

Cause most likely Romo can't deliver eldarado this year...

It isn't just about mistakes that Bledsoe has made.

I highly doubt Bledslow is going to deliver Eldarado either, you think Bledslow could go to Chicago in late January and beat the Bears?

Of course this situation is probably going to be avoided because at this rate Bledslow will have like 28 picks for the season and I highly doubt we even make playoffs then.:mad:

You can argue it either way, so you've got two different groups.

On one hand, Romo may not even be as good as Bledsoe. On the other hand, he might be an upgrade.

The truth is, none of us know. There isn't any evidence of Romo in a regular season game.

I honestly believe that if we see one more game like Bledsoe has had recently in the near future that Romo is going to get the call.

Unfortunately I believe that Bledsoe will put us through a yo-yo this season. He'll have a really bad game followed by a good game. The problem is that since we don't know what Romo can offer other than greater mobility than Bledsoe, nobody really knows how Romo will respond under pressure. Could Romo respond better under the blitzes? Or would he panic and make bad decisions? Honestly, I would really rather draft a qb on the first day in the next draft. But we'll see how that plays out next offseason.

Veteran choking vs Rookie who can scramble make plays

Bledsoe is a veteran, IMO its a rookie mistake to give up a game by a interception. It was what 2nd down and goal from with in the 5, A veteran would/should of known you have two more downs, if its not there, its not there, don't force it. Bledsoe gave the game away by forcing a throw on 2nd Down with the game on the line, Dejavu Seatle.

Romo is only a rookie in the sense that he has not had any 'real' regular season game experience.

isnt this why Parcells claimed he played Romo so much during the preseason? So he could find out what he had? Apparently they liked what they saw or else they wouldnt have given Romo a contract extension

He doesn't have to scramble --just move a step here and there and you have improvement----And he(romo) showed he could do that

Here's the question for me.

If a team is putting tons of pressure on our QB, who happens to be the least mobile QB in the game, why not change up to a guy who can move better?

It's not the end of the world. Parcells uses a RB by committee approach. Obviousy it's different with the QB position but why not just TRY it. There's nothing to say that you can't go back to Bledsoe.

Parcells would do this with any other position on the field. He's alternated centers. He's the only coach I've ever seen do that with such a critical position.

Simple answer when the media pushes and tries to create a controversy.

"We are going to look at the QB position the same as we would any other. We have two very different style QB's and each has their strengths and weaknesses. All according to the defense we are facing, we'll play to our strengths and use the QB who gives us the best chance to win THAT game"

If after all the Romo hype from Parcells....and after the guy has been sitting for FOUR years...we don't have the confidence to use this approach, then Romo shouldnt be here.

Parcells is a master of doublespeak.

He'll call out a "baby" rookie, but he'll "diaper" his 14 year veteran QB.

The only hope we have is that Bledslow is horrible again against the Texans and we lose because of it.

It may be a hard loss to stomach, but maybe it will finally get us some Romo Time.

My Thoughts exactly. Just to add a little more perspective, Through his last 9 games: Comp % 52, TD 12, INT 15, Sac 35, sac yds 208. Take out the game agaist the pathetic Titans and his stats are: Comp % - 50, TD 9, INT 15, Sac 31, sac yds 192.

I find it hard to believe that Romo will perform much worse than that given the opportunities. I still don't buy the rationale that DB gives us the best opportunity to win.

The problem with Bledslow is that you have to have 5 probowl linemen who will give him a clean pocket for about 8 secs. You blitz, he panics and tosses the pick.:bang2:

You're not missing anything Beast. It seems to me you don't need anything explained to you at all. :star:
