Evaluate Romo's first 2 starts

[gbrittain]

It's already been established that QB is not the problem....both Bledsoe and Romo have made plays but the veteran gave us the best chance considering we are nothing more than a borderline rebuilding team at this point.

Munchis...Out!!

If we are a borderline rebuilding team why would you want a 34 year old guy at QB to rebuild with?

I didn't say that Romo failed. I said "they" failed. The problem is this. When the Cowboys don't win people put it all on Bledsoe when Bledsoe is the starter but point to the "guys around" Romo when Romo is the starter.

My point all along is that the QB was not the problem on this team. And so far, whether it has been Romo or Bledsoe, the results seem to be the same when the games are over.

I have been a big supporter of Bledsoe and still have a lot of respect for him but Romo is hands down playing the best at the QB position than I have seen in a long, long time. I agree teams win games not just 1 guy but when a QB is playing like Romo did yesterday then he deserves a lot of credit for that play despite the fact this team failed. To pretend that Romo is not playing at a very high level right now is crazy.

Stop it!! Applying intellectual logic to this situation makes no sense :laugh2:

I agree that frozen rope to TO from 40 yards was horrible. ALso, the 3rd and one to Crayton was terrible. Bench him, and bring back Drew. If you remember correctly had Drew been able to still throw the ball deep Glenn wouldn't have been tackled at the end of the Eagles game, and TO, provided he could have cought the pass, would have had a TD against the Jags putting us up 17-0!

Are you being facitious? I think it depends on whether we are still playing for this year or for next year. If for this year, go with the guy that had the team above 500 and was winning games, which was Bledsoe. If for next year, stick with Romo.

The equation really hasnt changed since pre-season. It's for Parcells to decide.

I think....

Munchis = Nors

Or one of the other Bledsoe lovers that we've banned for crossing over the line.

I'm sure Munchis isn't long for this planet either.

Do you even watch the games? Seriously. The Cowboys are night and day difference with Romo in the line up.

Yeah, I was very hard on Bledsoe after we lost, but it was not because we lost. It was because he was the major contributor for our losing.

1st loss @ Jacksonville - Bledsoe completed 48.5% of his passes, threw 1 TD, threw 3 INTs, a 45.8 QB rating

2nd loss @ Philly - Bledsoe completed 47.4% of his passes, 0 TDs, 3 INTs, a 33.1 QB rating, fumbled 3 times

3rd split loss NY Giants - Bledsoe completed 58.3% of his passes, 0 TDs, 1 INT, 54.5 QB rating

1st slip loss NY Giants - Romo completed 56% of his passes, 2 TDs, 3 INTs, 73.7 QB rating

2nd loss Washington - Romo completed 66.7% of his passes, 2 TDs, 0 INTs, 109.0 QB rating

Now I will give you the split loss to the Giants. Bledsoe played horrible and Romo did no better due to INTs. If you want to crucify him for that game be my guest.

However, in the loss versus the Skins, there is not really much more he could do other than catch the balls he threw himself.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Bledsoe in 5 games..3-2. Romo in 3 games..1-2. The Giants game was essentially tied when Romo took over.

I'm all for great individual stats but I want W's. To me, Romo looks great on paper but isnt getting it done any better than Bledsoe was.

I read stuff like this and words like... "knucklehead" come to mind.

You shouldn't even waste your time.

Anyone that even suggests that Romo's performance so far is on par with Bledsoe's is quite frankly f'ed up.

Yeah, I am waiting for a reason not to put Cowchips, and Munchies on the ignore list. Clearly they are just trying to get a rise out of people. There is another Drew pie doing the same thing but I can not remember their handle right now.

I would love to know which reincarnation of the previous banned Drew pies they are.

 

[tnewman41]

what are you talking about? Romo was the only one who didnt make a mistake yesturday. if bledsoe was in then it wouldve been alot worse. Romo has only 2 starts and hes done good so far

Cowchip has been irrelevent for a long time. The other goof is a reincarnation of some other Bledpie.

I agree but regardless of 2 starts or not Romo play over these last 2 games has been as good if not a lot better than guys with years of experiance. He is avoiding the mistakes by throwing it away when nothing is there and coming up with big plays when we need them. That was a big time throw he made to Witten in a pressure situation to get us in a position to win. I'm having a hard time seeing what some fans are looking at when disscussing Romo play

Cowchip just went on my ignore list and Munchy too. So problem taken care of.

The board will be a little bit nicer today. That they are on my ignore list now and Romo is playing great are the only things I got going for me today!:laugh2:

 

[sonnyboy]

Romo is playing at a probowl level. Thats right probowl level. He has exceeded even my lofty expectations to this point.
Great QB's take some bad sacks, throw ints, miss open recievers, misread defenses. These things happen to the BEST QB's almost every game. We've seen very little of this from Romo.
Two games is two games. Is doesn't make a career, it doesn't even make a season. But its all we have to go on now.
My only question on him going into this game was his ability to throw the deep ball. There is no doubt the throws to Crayton and Owens answered that!
At this point I see no flaws in his game. We might lose 1 in 10 games that our QB plays at the level Romo played yesterday. It might not feel like it today, but I think we are some of the luckiest fans in the country.

 

[SBChamps]

munchis cannot be nors. i remember nors well enuff to suspect he is, somewhere, giddily proclaiming himself an oracle on the subject of young QBs. that he saw romo coming from day-one.

I think he was more Anti-Henson then Pro-Romo back then.

Nors was one of the biggest Bledslow nuthuggers around. And Munchis' posts has the same Nors' ******** style to it.

Yeah they do to some extent.

 

[HTownCowboysFan]

Dude played very, very well. If friggin' TO had caught that pass for a TD, man his stats would've been much better.

I'm all for great individual stats but I want W's. To me, Romo looks great on paper but isnt getting it done any better than Bledsoe was.

The difference at least in the Washington game, was that Romo didn't committ the major mistake that cost them the game.

I agree, W is all I want too (especially against Washington), but so far, as far as our QBs go, I still think we're better off w/ Romo. The rest of the season is tough and will REALLY test him and teach us.

 

[StarAmongStars]

Romo has played OK, but to be honest there's nothing he's done that has 'wowed' me. Bledsoe can at least rush for TD's and throw the ball DEEP.

We were above .500 with Bledsoe, than Romo comes in and blows the Giants game. We beat a mediorce Carolina team on the road and then lose to a pathetic Commander team on the road.

Romo the answer? I think not....
