I can't help but wonder if Romo really can be the starting QB for the Cowboys this year or next. No one has really seen anything from him. Ok, we have all seen the pre-season games, and Romo looked really good. But in pre-season, no one runs their full defense. The regular season is far more difficult, and Romo has taken a snap in regular season. Henson had more starting time then Romo does currently. What makes anyone believe he can really be the starter for the Cowboys?
No, he is another Jason Garrett. Good off the bench, not so hot when teams prepare all week for him. I would like him in a pinch as a trustworthy quarterback but at best he would be a Jim Harbaugh or Jim McMahon, which is fine if the defense gells but at present it won't cut it.

Thanks scouting director, any other hot tips we should know?

It appears when Dallas blocks the offense performs much better.
Tackling has also tended to aid the defense in the past.

The only way we ever find out, is a serious injury to Deadslow or a Parcells firing/retirment.

Yeah...I don't think we'll see Romo [unless there is an injury to Bledsoe]

Bledsoe will bounce back...he always does.

I actually think he has a very good chance, some people say the odds are against him, but I think the odds were against him, he already beat a lot of those odds.

Small school, undrafted, etc., most in his position you are looking at the practice squad the first year, McDonald´s the next.

Players like, Delhomme, Hasselbeck, Warner, Brady, Brunnel, Green, Johnson, Bulger, etc., all beat those odds, backed up for a while, played good preseason games, except Warner who came out of nowhere, and went on to become good to great QBs.

What they have in common is this, they all went from backups to potential starters in the eyes of scouts and NFL coaches to the point that some of them were traded for high draft choices, even though they sometimes can be wrong, A.J. Feeley, they are often right, and I beleive Tony Romo is perceived that way. So the odds are not as long as some people might believe at this point in time.

By the way Warner, Brady and Delhomme all went to the Super Bowl in their first year as starters.

While I agree completely.... you cannot expect the oline to block and protect QB for every down of every game... its just not realistic... and if they could Drew would still lose us games that we should win... I am done with him....
