I rewatched all of the games played this year and noticed something interesting.
Bledsoe seems to feel the pressure of the moment more than the pass rush.
It appears he is a little ignorant of the chaos around him at times.
He pats the ball when he is under pressure and then throws quickly when he has time.
There was sacks that he had nothing to do with, but many unwarranted throws when pressure wasn't an issue.
He threw many poor passes into the dirt and numerous occassions he was unable to find the open reciever.
I think he lost confidence and felt the pressure of expectations from the start.
You know some QB's have it and for all the physical gifts and toughness Drew has his lack of pressure decision making has haunted him EVERYWHERE he has played.
Time to move on to whomever, because MEDIOCRECY is unacceptable.
Lets see what we have? I dont care if Romo is bust we need to find a winner here. Bus drivers dont win Superbowls unless your packin 85 Bears, 2000 Ravens & we aint!

The thing about Bledsoe is we knew what we had. He had his strengths and his flaws and he wasn't going to get any better. He had no upside. In fact, he was only going to get worse with time.

Romo has his flaws, but he will get better. He has upside. That is the big difference between the two. Parcells seems unusually confident of Romo's ability and that is also encouraging.

You know, it is odd considering just how well he played in the preaseason.

Lots of guys play well in the pre-season. Romo played well in the pre-season and may not play well in the regular seasaon. Quincy Carter had a pretty good pre-season in 2003 and not so good regular season. Drew played more poorly in the post-season than regular season during his career. The pressure goes up and some people aren't up for it. Hopefully Romo plays up to his pre-season level.

Bledsoe has not looked confident or comfortable in the pocket regardless of opponenent or game situation and it seems we always start out bumpy, the whole offense seems to be unable to get into a rythym or flow.
