I have been a consistent defender of Drew Bledsoe as our starting QB since he was signed last year, since I felt he gave us the best chance to win. In fact, our ceiling may be a little higher if Drew was in there still. However, the difference between 8-8 and 9-7 is really not that large if you factor into this year as a learning period for 2007 and beyond for Romo. The worst case scenario is we know we have to draft a qb high next year (even if we have to give up picks)
What I saw out of Romo yesterday gave me alternating feelings of euphoria and horror. He made a few crucial mistakes that may have cost us the game. The good thing is these flaws are readily apparent in pressure situations an are correctable He made some plays last night that Drew most likely would have ended up sacked. he has that gunslinger-Favre-Young-Staubach mentality that greatly appeals to many Cowboys fans What I see is so tantalizing that I think we may have something with Romo if we can limit his mistakes. More than that, the team seems to rally around Romo more.
I still like Drew. I really do. His time in Big D , and maybe the NFL, is done unless he's willing to be a backup.I thought he would be able to finish out the season for us, but now that we made the decision to go to Romo, we can't go back IMO. We have to find out now about Romo. As a Bledsoe supporter (but more importantly a Dallas Cowboys fan )I think we as fans ought to rally around Romo and show the patience required for a QB learning the ropes.
What are our prospects with Romo? I'm not throwing in the towel yet. I would not be in the least surprised if we knocked off Carolina with him at the helm next week. Sometimes a team needs a kick in the pants to energize them. This may or may not be it, but I'm willing to give it a shot.
