For all you Drew Supporters

[Kaika]

I'm not a Drew Bledoe hater ,but can you supporters of him tell me what he has done in three years for the Boys???
I mean look at his record. He may be a nice guy and have a good arm ,but he's not the man he used to be.

Can you supporters of D.B. actually and truthfully say he can take us to the play offs and possibly (gulp) the SB.

Ask yourself that question and we all know the answer.

Romo may not be the answer this year but we know what we have in Drew , T.R. is still a mystery.

If we're going to go down, lets at least try something different. We all know the old way isn't working.
And again ,I hear that T.R. doesn't have any experience.

Come on Now!!!!!!!! When you were younger and looking for your first job and you were told that "Sorry we're looking for someone with experience" ,What was you answer?????







sorry for the rant

While his four years with this team, Romo has taken snaps in two games.

One as mop-up and another as a picthing change.

He was of no significance in the first, and lost the second by his first pass.

Terry Glenn is 30+.

TO is 30+.

Fergusson is 30+.

Rivera is 30+.

Flo is nearing 30+.

Pretty significant positions to replace as we wait for the answer to the Romo queston .

You see, it's not really a Bledsoe will or will not take us to the play-offs for some.

It's how long do we watch Romo, and go through the growing pains before we know the answer?

And after 10 years of mediocrity, some of us held out hope that this season might be different.

So, if it takes the kid 18 months to show what he has, are you prepared? Another two seasons of losing before you know if he can be the guy?

Are you prepared to venture that risk on a guy that did not play division 1, wasn't drafted, sat on the bench four years, and in his first extended play as a pro, threw three picks, two sacks, gave up 14 points and the game?

When he was behind by 5 and had the ball at the beginning of the second half.

Are you prepared for two seasons of waiting, and then finding out he will never be the guy and we have to start over?

For some of us, that is the burning question.

Quincy Carter is better than Drew Bledsoe... and if it wasnt for Parcells, Drew would be calling u at dinner asking how much life insurance you have!!!

I think we'll know a lot about Romo a month from now. He made some horrendous plays last night....4 by my count. He also made some very good plays and totally changed the game away from nothing but pressure. That's an improvement. We also KNOW Bledsoe was not taking us anywhere. You would have to be blind to not see that.

Absolutely the most misinformed and biased post I have seen except one today.

And that post said the poster would rather lose every game than see Bledsoe behind center ever again.

And this was from a Cowboy fan.

When you take emotion out of the equation, then seeing this issue makes it easier to post without drivel.

And wasn't this the EXACT comments made about Quincy?

makking excuses for his play by the glimpse of hope he might give us by one or two passes thrown each game.

I'm not calling you out, sir.

Just wondering how we can look at last night and see a terrible half of football and then say anything positive comes from Romo's play.

Think the Giants played the same game plan after the touchdown off Romo's first turnover gave them an insurmountable lead?

That is a factor.

 

[SuspectCorner]

can't anybody construct a nice board-dividing poll? YOU KNOW? one with names attached so you can view the physical division and who's on what side of the line.

What other team at the time of his release would have signed him to be their starter?

 

[TwoDeep3]

If we outright released Romo today, what team would pick him up to be their starter right this minute?

See how ridiculous that sounds?

So was your question.

 

[Danny White]

I am a Drew Bledsoe fan... I've always been a fan of his since I saw him play in High School.

That said, his flaws are undeniable, and given the shoddy play of our O-Line, it was time to give Romo a chance. I am a firm believer that Romo should get the start next week, and should continue to start unless he really really stinks it up.

So there, I'm a Bledsoe fan, but a Romo supporter.

Two things about the posts over the last 24 hours make me absolutely sick, though.

1) The needless hatred of Drew Bledsoe that many posters are displaying here.

2) The blind butt-kissing of Romo's play last night that completely dismisses how poor his overall performance was.

Both are disgusting to me.

But there you have it from one of Drew's biggest fans on the board.

I don't qualify to answer this since I'm one of his biggest critics, but I thought I'd wade.

This is Drew's 2nd year here, not his 3rd. Let's start with that.

Can you supporters of D.B. actually and truthfully say he can take us to the play offs and possibly (gulp) the SB.

Ask yourself that question and we all know the answer.

No. I couldn't before the season, and I can't now. I can't say Romo can either. But I prefer Romo to Bledsoe personally. It's a roots with the Cowboys thing for me.

Romo may not be the answer this year but we know what we have in Drew , T.R. is still a mystery.

Agreed, but I'm not sure this is good.

If we're going to go down, lets at least try something different. We all know the old way isn't working.
And again ,I hear that T.R. doesn't have any experience.

I can't sit here and say I know for sure we'd have lost last night if Bledsoe finished the game. I don't have that kind of omniscience. So, maybe the "old way" could have worked. Moot point.

Come on Now!!!!!!!! When you were younger and looking for your first job and you were told that "Sorry we're looking for someone with experience" ,What was you answer?????

It's never happened to me. People ask me to work for them, I don't apply.

sorry for the rant

Why? It clears the blood.

 

[mwj473]

So was your question.

The poster you were referring to basically said Drew would be unemployed if it weren't for us.

You said hogwash

So I basically asked who else would have giving him a starting job, since you know he was not going to be a backup.

Can you not answer the question? Romo has nothing to do with this.

The poster who said that was wrong. When you look at the Raiders bringing back what's his name that had retired a few years ago, that should tell you the league will give a player a chance.

So his point, which you echoed is moot.

My point, which is pertenent, is that the implication is that Bledsoe is worthless, thus Romo has value per the original comment.

And I used your logic to shatter that illusion.

Because Miami would take Bledsoe immediately upon our cutting him and start him over Culpepper right now.

The Raiders might do that as well.

But i doubt either team woyuld even sign Romo.

he would get signed to do what he did here.

Crack wise on the sidelines and hold a clipboard.

We'll just have to disagree on this. I have no idea who you are referring to that the Raiders brought back to start for them & I don't think Miami would have any interest in him at all with both Harrington & Culpepper there. That's just my opinion. I think all 31 other teams know that DB can be easily defensed now. He was very good at 1 point in his career, but something has happened to him over the years, and it is getting worse this year. I will say that the original poster is wrong that QC is better than DB, that is pure fabrication.

The guy drafted by the Colts. he played but was a malcontent.

I cannot remember his name right now.

And are you meaning the 1-6 Miami Dolphins?

Yes they would.

Because unlike messageboards filled with people who look at things emotionally, coaches tend to look at what works and how to create a culture where that is prevalent.

Culpepper is wasted space. And if Miami was serious about turning around their season, were Bledsoe available, they would move on that.

This is just insane.
If Bledsoe were to leave, it would be because the 3rd team he played for in his career gave up on him. The last stop being coached by a guy who was once of Bledsoe's biggest fans.
The Raiders might take a chance on Bledsoe. Because their owner is a crazy, doddering, old man.
By the way, how many guys has Parcells written off in Dallas and been wrong on?

 

[TwoDeep3]

Jeff George is the guy.

The were looking for someone to wash dishes and take the trash out.....

 

[Tricky-22]

Its funny, Bledsoe has two multi pick games this season and yet its not his fault. He somehow just played a bad game, or his receivers ran the wrong route.

And yet Romo throws a few picks in his first extended action in NFL and he is a failure. I will agree that he made some terrible mistakes by throwing passes that shouldn't have been thrown. He paid for those mistakes with Int's.

My question is this, who would you rather see make stupid mistakes? A guy seeing his first NFL action, or a guy who has been in the league for 12 years?

I don't hate Drew Bledsoe. I don't hate anyone. In fact, I think that if he had a better offensive line in front of him, then he could be a very good QB. I do believe that Tony Romo will get better, I can't say that about Bledsoe. Can You?

One thing that impressed me about Romo last night was the energy and excitement that he brought into the game. The whole offense seemed to feed off of his energy. He reminds me of a young Brett Farve. I'm not saying that he is the next Brett Farve, but I do see a lot of the same qualities in Romo.

 

[TwoDeep3]

I stole this but it speaks volumes.

Steamed soup said this.

I understand people want to excuse Romo's bad decisions. He's young, they say. He's just trying to make things happens, they say. He needs to make mistakes to learn from mistakes, and he's not getting much help anyway. He's not a 13 year vet like Bledsoe is and it'd be wrong to expect him to play like he is. But, then, why are we playing him at all if we don't expect him to be better than Bledsoe? I mean, are we or are we not a team looking for a playoff berth this year?
