If your argument of Bledsoe was predictaed on one game than you would have a case, but it wasn't... Bledsoe was stinking up the joint before this game, and it was a consistent pattern. Further, the public opinion was alreadly blasting Parcells for sticking with Bledsoe... Bill Parcells was literally looking like a deer in the headlights before he inserted Romo... The guy pretty much was thinking it was a lost cause. But yeah, I'm sure he believed in Romo, despite the situation on his face......
Of course Parcells was nervous about the move - as would have Payton or any other coach. That's natural with a player that hasn't played.
Meanwhile, you seem to ignore the fact that Parcells could have cut Romo anytime over 4 years, and he wouldn't have got any resistence from Jerry Jones, who was not a Romo fan.

Based upon whose 'discovering him'? You think Bill would have had any clue about Romo if it weren't for the fact Sean Payton kept telling him about Romo. Sean Payton and Romo went to the same school. Sean Payton is the one who found Romo. That is JUST the reality of it. So what if Bill called him to convince him. How does that prove it was his find? ANd Bill could have called him because he thought he would be a legitimate BACK-UP......
You don't think 4 years worth of TC's and practices and preseason games would have given PArcells a clue ....... ?
It appears you are the one who is clueless.

First of all, you need a class in logic. Gushing about Romo doesn't mean Parcells discovered Romo. Second, the QB coach is obviously going to pay attention specifically to the QB, that is what he does, i.e. dedicates his time to coaching the QB. It doesn't mean that the QB coach found him or pushed for him to play. Sean Payton wen to the SAME SCHOOL as Romo.. The reality is Sean Payton brought in that talent, and that is why he was here...
If Parcells wanted to play his rookie, it doesn't take almost 4 years to put him in there... History belies all these claims... ...
Talk about needing a lesson in logic.
Who discovered Romo and whether PArcells wanted to play Romo are completely separate points - your logic is not only flawed, but non-existant on this point.
As for playing time - why is it so hard to believe that Parcells felt Romo had a future, but he needed to develop first. That's what Parcells said all along, and your hatred of Parcells can't override that.
Parcells felt the same about Henson.
And for more proof - look at the Giants. As with Romo, Parcells developed Hostetler for a number of years before moving him in to replace the veteran who had performed well for Parcells teams in the past.
It appears that, contrary to your words, history actually supports the idea that Parcells liked Romo.

Yeah, sure he would... I guess the fact that Sean Payton and Romo went to the same school has nothing to do with it. I'm sure Bill's ties with Eastern Illionois were greater than Sean Payton's, that he would know about Tony Romo..
First get a clue in logic, before you tell me to dance...
Again - whether Payton was aware of and fond of Romo before PArcells is irrelevent - your non-existent logic is what is showing up here.
The fact is that Parcells became a Romo fan, kept him onboard despite the fact that Jerry Jones was not fond of Romo, and then made the decision to replace Bledsoe with Romo - and AFTER Payton was already gone.
