I know what I express here isn't popular or PC for this board, but I'll say it anyway because it is true.
The mistake was made last year with the benching of Drew Henson at halftime of a Thanksgiving day game, and the stubborn insistence on playing Vinny Testaverde when we had absolutely nothing to gain.
The New York Giants, during the same season, chose to sit down an aging Kurt Warner who is playing his mediocre football for another losing team this season, and grow with a young, green, QB. As you saw today, they are STILL suffering with him.
Problem is, they are not BEHIND US are they? They are AHEAD OF US, and they are STILL developing their QB of the future.
Somewhere along the line a lot of Cowboys fans have forgotten that is isn't our goal to be RESPECTABLE. It is our goal to win championships isn't it? Isn't that a part of what it meant to be a Cowboys fan, to think that way?
5 Super Bowl victories, a few more NFC Championships, America's Team, and now all of the sudden we are satisfied with NEW YORK GIANTS football and RETREAD QB's.
I don't care what Drew Henson turns out to be one day, I'll say it for as long as I watch football, they have mishandled that kid. No one has ever disputed that he has the physical tools to play the QB position and what do our QB guru's do but go change his motion and treat him like an equal to a Division 2 or 3 (I forget), short little golfer who tries to immulate his hero Brett Favre.
I'm a Cowboys fan and have been for life. From the time I can remember watching football, I guess at about 6 or 7 years old until today, that is about 35 years, I have lived and died with our Cowboys.
But I don't like the approach we have taken of late. I would rather try to develop our own long term QB and fail several times before we hit on him than to keep importing Bill's kids.
For the record, and I hope you don't miss this, I THINK BLEDSOE HAS PLAYED WELL THIS YEAR. I think anyone jumping off the Bledsoe bandwagon after today is just plain wrong.
What I'm saying today I have said since last year. It has nothing to do with Bledsoe, it has to do WITH A PHILOSOPHY, and the current one disappoints me.
There, now maybe I'll feel better.

the line would be playing better and we would have thousands of yards running. J/k Remember this though, it started way before Parcells arrived. It was just to big a mess to clean up as quick as we liked.
