Thats a mix of needing to get rid of the ball and a horrible Oline.

He'll be better next year.

Hes the reason we got to play in Seattle the other night. Without him we dont sniff the playoffs.

11 games is all this guy has played and he will be even better next year.

Totally agree.

This is really a silly question.

Can we compete in the NFC next year if Romo struggles?? WE DID THIS YEAR.

We did this year with a QB that never took a regular season snap until 5 1/2 games into season.

We were in position totake the NFC East title with a QB that never took a regular season snap until 5 1/2 games into season.

We were close to winning first playoff game in 10+ years with a QB that never took a regular season snap until 5 1/2 games into season.


And your question is can we do it NEXT YEAR? When he has a full training camp and almost a season under his belt....

like I said... just a silly question

Newflash. Romo is going to struggle. He's a good QB, but he's only had actual playing time for a half a season. Brees was a pretty average QB for years until Rivers was drafted. All of a sudden, Brees caught fire & has developed into a very good QB. Hasselbeck struggled for several years & made some pretty boneheaded plays (including a game-losing interception against the Packers in a playoff game). He's now developed into a pretty good QB. We'd all like to believe Romo was going to be Tom Brady, but he's not. He's the future of the team, but he is going to continue to have ups & downs while he develops.

Good post.

Although with a good O-line... Romo could more like Brady than not.

I think so to Mick. Man, I have watched for whatever reason this year a ton of Pats games, and their o line is killer. Never heard of most of them, but they don't let anybody near Brady! On a side note, you know they are showing all the Rocky movies on ESPN Classic this month on Sundays? Cought the end of Rocky II last night! Always tear up. It is the sensitive side of me I guess!

It's amazing that through 13 years of mediocrity you are still stuck in Bledsoe's jock, so much so that you just compared him to Elway, called him an 'all time great' and tried to use that comparison to defend his sub 80 career rating while trying to ridicule Romo's 95 rating.


Yet through 10 games, you've decided Romo is a bum.







When you're crazy....do you know you're crazy?

Never said Romo is a complete bum - jury is still out and will resume september 2007.

All I know is that this kid has a lot to prove given how the season ended....he's got some lofty shoes to fill replacing a guy like Bledsoe and there is only one Tom Brady in this league.

We were scoring more points with Bledsoe and had a legit shot to go all the way given this is another down year in the NFC. As a hardcore fan, I'm angry and hurt that we foolishly squandered it away.....

Romo is the least of my worries....The Oline and Defense will determine our success next season.

If Romo struggles then we would have a hard time making it. However if he continues to learn and improve which most would expect from any player as they gain more experience and playing time then Romo could very well lead us back to the playoffs.

Romo will be no better than his O-line. It is not going to be a very successful first half of the season.

Actually Romo made plays despite the fact of his OL. Problem is you can't expect him to do it all the time. Like any QB defense wants to get in their face and force them into mistakes. Romo is no different but given how poor the line was doing, Romo made a lot of big plays because of his ability. He may not have entered the league as a draft pick but it does not change the fact he has talent and highly accurate with his passes. No doubt better protection will be a big help but tell me one QB that does not apply too?
