Imagine the stress on Bledsoe...

[juck]

just imagine the stress this man has this weekend to perform well.At home,primetime,division game thats extrememly important.I hope he has it inside him to perform .I think age is his downfall,I am rooting for the guy.I think this is the game that may decide his fate as well.IMO

 

[tecolote]

He may be playing for his job.

I like Bledsoe, he will respond. He is a class act.

Regardless of that, benching Bledsoe pretty much means writing off the season. Parcells won't do that until it's clear we have no shot at the playoffs.

I disagree that bencing him means writing the season off.Maybe Romo is our only shot.We will see.

Thats why he gets paid the big bucks.

In 2001, the Pats only won because they had the best defense and special teams in the league and didn't need too much production from their offense. In fact, the D and ST were producing 10-14 points per game on turnovers. Do you really think the Cowboys D and ST are in that class?

Romo may be good long term but for this year, it would be giving up on the season to put him in.

I am not a believer in Bledsoe, but I do like the guy. He is a warrior and a class act.

Benching Bledsoe does not mean that the season is being written off. If he fails to perform then not benching him would be writing off the season.

Play with me for a second on this one. For the record I have no idea if Romo is the answer or not and neither do you. Until the guy plays in real games everything is just speculation.

Clearly, it has been well documented on the board that Romo could come in and show that he is not the answer. That could very well be the case.

Romo, however, is not a green rookie. It would not be the most amazing thing in the world if he became the starter and is actually very good.

What if Bledsoe continues to play poorly against better teams? Wouldn't that take out our chances of the playoffs?

Exactly, look at Tampa, Arizona, Tennessee, etc. sometimes when you go with the young guy the team actually plays better.

That is a statement that I think most of us agree on, he is a good guy by all accounts, I just don´t think he is a good QB.

I agree wholeheartedly, Bledsoe is a class act and has been productive in the past and has been a durable and tough QB. But I think his day has come and gone. He reminds me a lot of the Dennis Quaid role in Any Given Sunday. Can he still play yes but is he still same QB he was? I don't think so. And at times he seems a little gun shy.

If we don't find out if Romo is the future that will leave a huge opening in our plans. Personally, I'd give him the steering wheel. This bus can be driven by the kid.

I'm hoping against hope that Bledsoe pulls out of this funk Monday Night. As much as I want to see Romo, I agree it would better for Bledsoe to simply perform at the level we need.

I guarantee you that starting Romo does not mean the end of the season. Parcells wouldn't do it unless he was sure the kid is ready. Trust me, when Romo does start, it will only be because Parcells is convinced he's the best option.

I agree, If Parcells benches DB that means he stunk it up enough to indicate that DB cannot get us to the playoffs. Inserting Romo may mean an attempt to salvage the season IMO.

If Romo isn't ready by now then part of the onus belongs on the coaches. He should be ready by now. And what if Bledsoe gets hurt? Does the automatically cancel any hopes for the playoffs? I sure hope not.

The difference between us and Tampa, Tennessee and Arizona is that we have aspirations of doing something big. They aren't close to the team we are so it's easier for them to trash this season and look down the line.

But as you can tell in Denny's press conference, at least the Cards are passionate about getting better now. I don't think they've totally trashed the season.

good, how many Sundays did Blowslow ruin for me. he better be stressed to play well and he better rip up the Gmen

If either QB can avoid turnovers, with our defense, running game, and special teams play, this team can win a lot of games. It's nice to be able to rely on Bledsoe's experience, but I don't think it's too much to ask of Romo to have him come in and not turn the ball over if it comes to that. By no means would our season be over.

By my count, one game this year. Jacksonville.
No way was he responsible for the loss in Philly.

That's the same thought I had watching that movie just last week. We need to sit Bledsoe for at least a few weeks to "heal up" from whatevers hindering his play. We can see what we have in Romo for 2-3 weeks and if we think we can benefit switching back to Bledsoe, he will be well rested and probably perform better.

 

[BAZ]

He deserves the pressure, everybody knows he holds on to the ball to long and makes some questionable decisions. Nobody even thought about a QB controversy in Chicago and now after a stinker of a game there are a few (albeit small) rumblings about it. It's not like it's just exclusive to Drew.

The two "playoff" teams he has played against this year he has looked horrible, so he needs to step up or at least perform better the rookie QB's that have been thrown to the lions (not the team) this year.

I do believe though good game or not, his job is safe for two games after this one.

Yes, the team plays better, takes the lead and then the coach tries to sit on the lead, lose the game.

BP Dennis Green, coaches created from the same mold.
