News: Bledsoe takes shot at Romo

[America's Cowboy]

Drew Bledsoe lead a team to a Super Bowl, got a ring being a bench due to injury after starting ahead arguably the best QB that ever played the game. He was good enough to move on the Dallas as a starter ahead of Romo.

Why he would ever be jealous of a QB that never got a divisional round playoff victory. Romo got benched to retirement by Dak Prescott.

...Nuff Said.

 

[Staubacher]

Romo never took the game seriously, get out of here with that "studied the game" nonsense. He is busy "having lived a pretty good life" of NOT getting it done when it mattered most. He had more than enough chances to, and if Romo were really all that then it would have happened at least once. The fumbled FG chip shot was a microcosm of Romo's entire career.

He did study the game I don't care what your take on it is. He was very intelligent making reads and running an offense progressively throughout his career. That is just a statement of fact it's not your heated opinion about what he failed to do in the playoffs which is the same situation we have now and that's not what I'm talking about. And how can a fumbled snap be a microcosm of his career when it happened in the beginning of his career? He didn't fold after that and he did work hard to become a better quarterback and he did become a better quarterback. No one is saying he was a Super Bowl champion but it's also stupid to say that he didn't care and didn't have a good work ethic that is just simply false but you believe what you want.

Makes sense. Romo didn't mature from his reckless style of play until 2009, after the Giants loss to open the new stadium. Bledsoe was long gone by then.

 

[CCBoy]

Tell Bledsoe to shut up and stick to announcing the game he's at. He was in a different environment in a different era upon arrival being coached up and simply surviving to still be effective. Tell Bledsoe to keep a facial lady handy.

Stafford is making the HOF with his longevity and SB ring imo

He's gonna need some more accolades on top of his stats. He only has 2 pro bowls and zero first or 2nd team all pros. Zero chance right now of him getting in.

Longevity helps but you have to have at least some accolades besides raw stats.

Frank Gore for example. 80% of the reason he's getting in is longevity but even then he still has 2010s all decade team, 5x pro bowl, and 1x 2nd team all pro.

You and a few others never could handle the truth about Romo, even now when Bledsoe has come out and said the obvious for what some of us got blasted and suspended incessantly for years upon years for stating the obvious.

I never said he didn't have an ego. In the end he failed to get it done. What I don't do is pull up one failed QB to prop up another failed QB after the fact to deflect from the inadequacies of the second one. One thing Romo did that Dak never could? Elevate those around him. Dak needs everyone playing at a high level at all times to excel. Either way, neither could get it done though. If Dak would just get the mental issues holding him back taken care of, he might change that.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Is it really jealousy if it’s true? He backed up both BS, honestly looking at both QBs, wouldn’t be surprised at all if true.

I don't think Bledsoe ever enjoyed much popularity and Romo enjoys mega-popularity so ...

Bledsoe, jealous of Romo?

Dude actually won some games in the playoffs. Romo never even came remotely close to taking snaps in a Super Bowl. If you want to say Bledsoe is jealous because Romo married Miss Iowa, I'll hear you out.

I don't think the statements are far off. He was always arrogant and aloof at the same time.

It's a team game...until it conveniently isn't.

This guy demands we support Dak under any and every circumstance...yet look at him hating on Romo. Undrafted free agent...overachiever who busted his arse and body for the cowboys and THIS guy is who he did it for?

Master hypocrite! .

 

[Runwildboys]

Translation: “Romo immediately took command, he was an Alpha, Bledsoe was a Beta male. Probably hiding a man-bun under his helmet.

 

[Jumbo075]

I was a Bledsoe fan, and a Romo fan. Bledsoe cannot very well complain about getting replaced by Brady. He’d look stupid. But he can’t have liked having been replaced in three different places. You would think being replaced by Lossman in Buffalo would hurt more. But no one even remembers Lossman (yes, I know misspelling his name, because I think his name was appropriate for his career.) So, Bledsoe complains about Romo, because at least Romo was relevant.

If Bledsoe really has a complaint, it should be against Bill Parcells.

Like I said, I was a Bledsoe fan before I was a Romo fan. It took my a full season to get on board the Romo fan train. But in retrospect, it was more fun to watch Romo play than it was to watch Bledsoe.

If Bledsoe had a personal issue with Romo, and felt disrespected, that’s really between him and Romo. I don’t want to pick a side without a whole lot more information, which I doubt any of us will ever get.

Personally, I think most big time athletes have been coddled since they were teenagers, and have oversized egos. That includes those who are ultra successful at the pro level, and those who flame out. It’s a natural result of being treated like heroes since they were very young. The last thing I’m going to do is get in the middle of an argument between two people who both have an inflated value of there own self worth.

Romo is one of the most hated cowboys QB ever...come on you can see it right here....

all romo's fault we never won

What a bunch of malarkey. Dak can't elevate those players around him? Then what about Cole Beasley, Dez Bryant, Brice Butler, Terrance Williams, Cedrick Wilson, Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, Noah Brown, Randall Cobb, Allen Hurns, Tavon Austin, CeeDee Lamb, Kavante Turpin, Jalen Tolbert, Brandin Cook, etc.

What do you call that?

 

[Havic]

I believe it. Romo had a huge ego and it wasn't till his later years he learned.

Master hypocrite! .

Romo went Hollywood when he was given the starting job. It went to his head, and he acted as if he knew it all. Wasted his prime years. Drew Bledsoe just admitted as much, yet here you are throwing a hissy fit as if your girlfriend was offended with some truth bombs. Wow, talk about an extreme infatuation.

 

[MapleLeaf]

I was a huge Romo guy, but this isn’t exactly hard to believe. Early on Romo had a huge head on him.

There was a reason why Parcells made up the 11 commandments list for Romo. I think it was obvious to Bill and probably many of the staff what type of head Tony had.

 

[MapleLeaf]

If my quarterback for the #1 franchise in the world didnt have massive confidence and ego, I'd be worried.

But does he have to have a massive ego in the locker room? It one thing to be confident. It's another to be an a-hole - a celebrity one at that.

If there is one thing I would give to Dak is he is relatively quiet about his personal life and exudes the type of public and private leadership you want from your #1.

 

[charron]

Bledsoe was hurt he got benched for an unproven reckless rookie.. Romo wasn't the type to take guys under his wing. It's like oil and water in the same hot pan.

Dak doesn't have Romo's play making ability. Both have middling arm talent.

If there is one thing Dak doesn't do is take unecessary gunslinger type risks...but he doesn't feature alot of crazy play making ability because he doesn't take crazy risks.

At the end of the day the measure of success for both QBs was the team assembled around them. Romo played much of his career with average defences that were nothing to write home about. Tony never got the benefit of rookie Zeke.

Lots of missed opportunities along the way for the team. There is a reason why we are in the desert since 96. Romo plays a small role along with Dak in explaining the lack of playoff success. But they are not the only reasons.

For some throwback news

--------------------------------------------------------
13. Speaking of Brady, if you didn’t know, his former Patriots teammate, Drew Bledsoe, apparently greatly preferred backing up TB12 to former Cowboys star Tony Romo, who now broadcasts for network rival CBS. But now, we definitively know. "Romo, you know this is true,” Bledsoe said on a feature during ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown.” “The minute that he became the starter, he became pretty big in his own mind. He was no longer the curious, inquisitive guy. That was the difference between him and Tommy. … All of a sudden Romo was the guy that had all the answers."

Sounds like the disgruntled former 1st rd QB that was benched for an undrafted nobody.
