You can do the math yourself and multiply each stat by 2 to see what it would have averaged out for the entire season.

1999 Patriots 2-6

1,671 yards, 6 TD, 17 INT, 141 COMP, 268 ATT, 52.6 COMP%, 52.94 QB Rating

2000 Patriots 3-5

1,643 yards, 7 TD, 7 INT, 152 COMP, 262 ATT, 58.0 COMP%, 74.33 QB Rating

2001 Patriots n/a

did not play

2002 Bills 3-5

1,859 yards, 8 TD, 10 INT, 172 COMP, 292 ATT, 58.9 COMP%, 72.56 QB Rating

2003 Bills 2-6

1,112 yards, 5 TD, 4 INT, 116 COMP, 215 ATT, 53.9 COMP%, 68.59 QB Rating

2004 Bills 2-6

1,457 yards, 11 TD, 9 INT, 131 COMP, 229 ATT, 57.2 COMP%, 75.90 QB Rating

2005 Cowboys 4-4

1,620 yards, 10 TD, 11 INT, 144 COMP, 255 ATT, 56.5 COMP%, 70.71 QB Rating

Not exactly the stats of a spectacular QB, are they? Makes you wonder why so many people defend Bledsoe until death when confronted with the Romo challenge.

Here's some more second half stats for you:

1,524 yards, 8 TD, 8 INT, 139 COMP, 213 ATT, 65.2 COMP%, 83.15 QB Rating

pretty similar numbers, much better accuracy, here's the big difference though

7-1

It was Tom Brady's year that he replaced Drew Bledsoe in 2001.

Some fellas just have that sixth sense to play QB. You've all seen Romo in the pocket. He has it. He may not have the arm strength of Bledsoe but Brady didn't either.

If Bill make the switch, it needs to be soon. Let Romo have most of his growing pains early while the defense is so strong and other offenses are struggling. If he really is the next starter for Dallas, he should be ready to roll in the second half, albeit with a more limited offense. (Don't sell him short though, he may not have regular season experience but he's been on this team for a while. This won't be like playing a rookie.)

This has to be one of the most telling posts of the entire summer.
Great insight!

To be fair, those were all pretty bad teams.

Except that the 2000 Patriots went 5-11 with Bledsoe then the 2001 Patriots went 11-5 and Super Bowl victory the very next year.

The leading rusher for the Pats in 2000 had 540 yards while in 2001 the leading rusher have 1200 or something. 2000 was also BBs first year with them and he was trying to fix the mess Pete Carrol left behind.

Also look at 2001. Brady wasnt that great throwing for only 2800 yards in 15 games with 18 TDs and 12 INTs. He also only had 1 TD pass in the playoffs with it coming in the SB.

Just to correct something. The Bills finished the season 6-2 in 04 after starting out 0-4.

Go back further too if you want. In 93 the Pats finished 4-4 / in 94 they finished 7-1 / 95 they finished 4-4 / 96 they finished 6-2 / 97 they finished 5-3 / 98 they finished 4-4.

Bledsoe also played in the AFC East when it was the best division in the NFL. The Brady lead pats have played in a very weak AFC East.

The next great Dallas QB is still in college somewhere.

What's your point? The 2000 Patriots were different from the 2001 Patriots.

And sacks aren't included in those QB ratings.

Bledsoe is a solid enough vet who is filling a (hopefully short) gap of time until a good young QB comes along.

I didn't hype Chad Hutchinson.
I didn't believe in Quincy Carter.
I didn't have much support for Drew Henson.

Didn't see anything in 'em worth believing they were the next starter in Dallas.

Romo is the first backup I've seen who leads me to believe he could succeed as a long-term starter. You should be excited too! The kid has more natural instincts at QB than anyone we've fielded since Aikman.

You have zero idea how to make a compelling argument using statistics.

You cannot simply pick and choose the stats that you use and reducing his numbers to only half a season is not representative of anything other than your Romosexual lovefest. At the very least you should show the other half of the statistics and explain why the numbers are not to be used. I am assuming that his first half stats are pretty darn good and make your assertion here look pretty worthless.

Romo has played remarkably well but saying that he has some innate sixth seense after seeing preseason games is just laughable. In order to demonstrate having the proverbial 'it,' you would think that he would need to be gameplanned for and be shown more coverages that that simple zone a monkey could make reads on that Seattle ran all game long.

Its statements like this that lend you zero credibility.

Yeah in todays parity NFL we dont see teams go from bad to good all the time..... :rolleyes:

Bledsoe won the AFC championship game in 2001. I guess they did that despite him.

Why is it that we aren't looking at the entire season's stats rather than half the season?

What were the rushing stats for these teams?

What caliber of defense did these teams have?

What was the score in each of these games?

What do we have to go by to tell us that Romo will do any better in ANY part of the season? The answer to that is NOTHING!

Lets not pull the Global Warming method here and only use PART of the information to form our theories.

One more thing. Romo didnt get sacked against the Seahawks correct? Then why did he only have 1 TD pass and the team only score 13 points? A QB taking sacks and holding onto the ball are both overrated.

Take the bad with the good. You cant have your cake and eat it too.

Cowboy fans are hilarious. Just last year the board was full of "Isn't nice to get REAL QB play finally??" both during and after the season. One game by Romo and all of a sudden Bledsoe is finished.

Hilarious.

I won't deny preseason teams use vanilla defenses. Everyone has to start somewhere. I just think Bledsoe has reached his ceiling. I don't care how well he reads defenses, the man is a boulder when there's pressure. The team will simplify it for Romo if they have to. I think the offensive line is going to have some problems this year, and with such a great defense, Romo gives us the best chance to win. I'm not picking and chosing stats, I'm just showing that as teams get better as the year goes on, Bledsoe is an easy QB to figure out. That makes your argument about gameplanning for Romo null and void, cause it looks like teams have no problem figuring out Bledsoe, don't it?
