Is Romo our QB of the future.

[Wolverine]

Seriously he might just have a chance at it. You look for players to suddenly really step up and last night Romo did. Anyone who can't give Romo credit for the game last night is just not seein things right.

The offense looked slow and sad most of the time Bledsoe was in. Romo comes in and the offense starts to really move. Same thing happened in the Arizona game. I am beginning to think this team believes more in Romo then Bledsoe. Thats JMO.

Romo feels the pressure alot better then Bledsoe and escapes rushes much better. His reads are alot faster and makes his throws alot faster. He can still make plays without needing perfect protection like Bledsoe does. Those are things you just cant ignore.

Romo might just be a Bledsoe injury away from being our starter for a long time.

with BP as coach here anything is possible, BP stays true to his QB's.

It would not surprise me at all.

I know most people would never agree, but I think he has a shot at it.

There just seems to be someting about him. He just has a feel for the game that is hard to describe.

He is accurate, looks really good in the pocket, seems to be making good decisions for the most part, a couple of exceptions, and you have to love his moxie and confidence.

I really like Romo. A lot of people question his arm strenght, but I think it is good enough.

He really reminds me of Jake Delohmme (SP).

Jake has that same thing I am talking about, not that big, not the biggest arm, but just makes things happen, has a great feel for the game.

I am with you 100%...you've summed it up perfectly.
Good post!

Anything is possible, especially with a QB whose game is never going to be built around the tangibles.

When a guy's game is more towards the cerebral, towards footwork which can constantly be improved on, and less reliant on big arm, it's even harder to speculate where his learning curve may end.

Could be a career back up. Could be on the links for good by this time next year. Could be the next Joe Cool.

What ar eyou talking about? Just because everyone of the reporters at camp have written that Romo is way ahead of Henson, and is closer to Bledsoe than Henson is to Romo. Madden, Aikman, Babe, Dennis, Scruggs and Shore, and everyone else who has been asked has told us he is far and a way beter than Henson. He has clearly outplayed Henson in the pre-season games, and last night he clealy played as well Bledsoe.

That means nothing, everyone here hangs their hat on Henson having much stonger arm. Henson has the highest completion percentage in 7 on 7 drills, but has not been given enough chances or as many as Romo.

Well, the NFL is not 7 on 7 drills, and you have to earn your chances and not demand them because the team invested a pick and money on you. Maybe Scruggs and Shore were right when they said that many didn't think that Henson had the mental makeup to be a QB in the NFL.

I would feel good with Romo coming in in case of Bledsoe injury. Much better than Henson.

im done with drew henson.

Sure, a lot of fans thought Kevin Sweeney was the future.

 

[Chuck 54]

No...Romo is not the QB of the future for the Dallas Cowboys. As crappy as Henson has been, they continue to try and give him every opportunity. Long range, they know Romo is not an NFL championship QB.

Just think about it...BRADY, MANNING, McNABB, VICK...Romo. Yep, We are on our way to the Big Show!!!

 

[Bizwah]

For the life of me, I can't figure out why some fans have to choose one favorite, and one to hate.

Why is it so hard to hope that ONE of our QBs pans out? Why is it so hard to root for both of them? Is it pride at being able to choose? Did one beat you up as a kid?

I really hope Romo succeeds. I would love to see him beat out Bledsoe....not because I hate Bledsoe (whom I hope does well for us), but because I'd love to see us with a young, talented QB on our roster. It'd be nice to finally be settled at QB.

I want to see Henson succeed. I think he's the most talented of our QBs, and could be our "franchise" guy. But it's clear he's not ready yet......I do say yet. We can't right him off just yet. I think it'd be a mistake to do so. We need to be patient.......

Again.....why is it so hard to root for all the QBs on our roster?

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Romo may not be the championship quality QB, but he is far and away better than Henson...........so what does that say?

All I'm saying is that Romo is far and away better than Henson, everyone who was at camp has said it and written about it, we have seen it in the pre-season, yet so many here refuse to give him any credit.

 

[baj1dallas]

I honestly don't think Romo will ever be a good starter in the league. I still see him more as a better back up. Not just because he doesn't have a gun for an arm, but also because he continues to make the occasional bad decision. I could see him having a long career as a backup but I just don't see him being the "next Jake Delhomme". This is all regardless of whatever happens to Henson...I think they will give him another year to "figure it out" before they have any need to take a harder look at him.

 

[Wolverine]

What is sad is that some people in here seem pissed that Romo did good last night. At the same time there are people in here who are happy when Henson struggles.

I wanted Henson to get the #2 job but I am very happy that Romo has stepped it up. It makes me feel alot better now knowing that if Bledsoe goes down Romo can step in and our offense can still run smoothly.


To bad some people in here dont just back both QBs and hope for the best outta both of them. Sad that some people in here are so concerned about being right about Romo or Henson that they put them above being a Cowboy fan and a fan of the team.

I hope Romo continues to improve like he did last night. If he beats out Henson as our QB for the future so what. It means we got the best QB playing thats all.

 

[Sarge]

One of the main complaints I have of this team (for the last 3 years, and running) is the fact that we simply have no idea who the future QB of this team is.

I know for certain, Drew Bledsoe ISN'T. He's the immediate future, not the future I'm talking about.

Romo looks good this pre-season but he lacks arm strength and the pure talent that Henson has.

Henson, on the other hand, looks (and is) inexperienced at this level.

We (IMO) have no idea - at this point in time, who the next REAL QB is for this team.

Having said that, I want an answer to this question as soon as possible because this defense we appear to be assembling is impressive to say the least.

This is NOT a debate about Romo and Henson, for crying out loud!! Who cares if Henson stinks? To paraphrase what Parcells says all the time, Romo isn't just competing with Henson!!


Just because Romo can beat out Henson for a back-up job right now, does not mean Romo is capable of leading the Cowboys to the playoffs and the Super Bowl. And before I get accused of saying something I didn't say, let me add, I've never said Henson could do it.

We are trying to get to the Super Bowl and anyone who thinks Tony Romo is the QB who can get us to the level of competing with teams that have QBs like Brady, Manning, etc. are hoping against hope. The Cowboys need an elite QB and until we get one we won't get #6. at least Bledsoe has a background with Bill and the past "pedigree" to give some hope that he can re-capture some of the glory.

Yes, I realize it's possible that Romo could develop into a Delhomme-type QB, but there are a thousand undersized, UFA QBs who showed a little something in practice that simply could not perform as a starting level QB.

Dunno.

Even more mystifying is why the solid performance of two isn't a source of rejoicing, but a red flag to tear one of them down. Or start a poll

Some folks can't seem to live with Johnson AND Gurode being starter ready, with TT and Rob possibly having the goods to start, with Crayton, Glenn and KJ all worthy....Henson AND Romo being in the short and even long term future....one must die so the other can live. LOL!

I'm starting to feel like 'depth' is 'death' here.. or at the very least some wierd proof that if you can't hands down win your position by storm, if another guy is even vaguely competitive with you, you by extension stink.

Never seen anything like it.

Did you even read wolverines' post? It had nothing to do with that little rant of yours. He is not talking about Henson although you are trying really hard to spin it like that.

I just don't understand what it is with these blind QB bashings.

No, LTN, it's not a personal issue with the QBs, at least for me. It's because the QB position is the KEY to this franchise being able to compete with the best teams week in and week out.
Until we get that fixed and the fix may not be on the roster right now, we will be just one of the also-rans.

The hope that an UFA is the answer to get us to the elite level is not realistic, imo.

It's really simple.

It's not about the players it's personal. Some use Romo as a tool to pick at others about hoping Henson develops.

They don't care about what is good for the team, they just want to be right and do a little "I told you so," dance around the forum.
