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.

So right. I wonder how many are tired of it. I know I am.

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.


This is spot on for me, nice post.

I too was and still am pulling for Henson to WIN the job, but he hasn't so it is what it is.

I think Romo right now looks better than Bledsoe.

You know this is the best comment on the whole QB debate. :)

Very wise, big dog.


BDC says some things on occasion that make sense ;) ........ however, if all we see is Bledsoe over the next 5 months..............where are we?

I think he can start. But most importantly, I think if the likely scenario occurs where we do need a back up to step in that Romo is ready mentally. Last night showed me that. I'm going to rest a lot easier this season knowing that Parcells has made the right moves. And you've got to admit, there is an upside to Romo over any of our other QB's.

I LOVE watching this kid play. Sometimes it's the things between the plays that you notice that make someone what they are. That guy is having fun. That's how he handles the "pressure".

People wrote this guy off to soon. Let's hope Bledsoe does well as the starter. If not, I've seen enough of Romo to have confidence that the guy can win some games. Nothing has been given to Romo. If anything, he has earned the right to be #2.

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.

Those questioning his armstrength after last nights game can see that his arm is fine. The attempt to devalue him by exaggerating his arm as being weak was a shot at Romo because he was a threat to Henson, not because he doesn't have the arm to play in this league. His arm is adequate.

Thanks for the kind words!

All I am saying isn't doesn't do any good to debate the hell out of the whole Henson/Romo situation at this point in time. Nothing is going to change in the next 2 weeks (or during the season for that matter) so lets see what develops between now and then and re-evaluate the situation. Hopefully both those guys will see some playing time this season (but seriously doubt it) so we can all see first hand how they are progressing.

Having said that Ben, Romo's clearly got the weakest arm of the 3 QB's, you must admit.

BDC usually has good stuff to say. I could be wrong but I think he finally has seen Morgan is not worth keeping. But hey BDC was big on Crayton long before I was. He thought the WR corp would be better than I did and I think he is right on that one.

BDC is also right on Zimmer to. So is HollywoodHenderson.

I'm happy at least Romo has stepped up his play. Good for him, he deserves it. I'm not happy with Henson's play, though I think the throwing motion work has been a big factor in his regress. Most importantly, I'm not all that happy with Bledsoe's play. He hasn't done that bad, but he hasn't done that good either. Hopefully we're just being kinda vanilla with our 1st team plays and we'll score more once the regular season starts.

I think Romo has a shot if Bledsoe goes down to see what he's got. What he does with it then is anyone's guess. Right now I don't think he has any regular season game time. I just hope one of them, Romo or Henson, can be the future. Right now, I'm thinking we need to draft a QB high to truely find the one.

Who cares?

At least he can make his reads, execute and buy time in the pocket. He brings intangibles important to the position that the other two don't. It's give and take, but his arm isn't weak. It's adequate. He made some good throws last night. Give the guy his props. He went out and earned it. I know that's a novel concept around here, but it's the truth.

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


So add Drew Henson to that list and we're on our way for sure, right? :rolleyes:

Give it a rest. You're bitter that Henson is a career clipboard holder with the metal capacity of a clown.

First off - who said I wasn't giving Romo his props?

Secondly, what intangibles, after seeing Romos' limited play this year, does he bring that Bledsoe and Henson don't?

Thirdly - who said his arm was 'weak?'

The competitiveness he displays when on the field. The feetwork. The recognition skills. The confidence. The moxie. :D Don't lie to yourself, Sarge. He's got intangibles.

A few of the jocksniffers were assuring us that his arm was weak weak weak. Clearly, if you watched the game last night you can see that his arm isn't weak.

Well, once again Ben, I don't deny he has intangibles. The question posed was what intangibles he has that BOTH Bledsoe and Henson don't.

As far as arm strength, he DOES have a weak arm when compared to both Henson and Bledsoe, that is simply not up for debate.

Having said the above, I am not rooting for any one of these guys in particular.

PS - what the hell is "feetwork?"

;)

Thanks for the kind words Wolve. Your memory is correct. Morgan......man don't get me started. What I was hearing behind the scemes was completely wrong. ARGH! Anyway we have Crayton showing up big time and I am loving it. I loved his game before he blew up Washington last year. I still think we are OK this year at WR but need to do something next off season. C-ya in the chatter room!

It's pretty obvious.

Give it a rest. His arm is not as NEAR as weak as some of the ostrich spectators around here have attempted to make it out to be. Anyone with a clue could see this last night.

I'm for the guy with the head to win games. End of story.

:confused:

Are you serious?

I'll give you a hint. His feet is one of the reasons I like him better than the other two. It's the way he takes steps in the pocket. His awareness of where defenders are and the way he moves to buy time back there.

I know there is no such thing as a stupid question, but if there was, this would be close to qualifying.

I think we will be good at WR. Alot better then I thought we would be. I am so glad Crayton is doing so good. I think we have our #2 WR of the future in him. If Key and Glenn can hold on through 2006 and Copper can improve more then maybe we can wait till 2007 draft for getting our #1 WR of the future.

I am not worried about WR now.

Ooooooooooooooh, FOOTwork you're talking about. OK.

I was busting your chops there Ben. ;) Ah, nevermind.

As for arm strength..........all I am, and have been saying, is that both Bledsoe and Henson have stronger arms. That is not up for debate. The degree of arm strength IS and therein lies the debate.

I personally feel that Romos' arm strength is suspect, just like I feel Bledsoes' ability to get rid of the ball is suspect, just like Hensons' decision making is suspect.

My point Ben, is this......they all have there positive and negative attributes, but all 3 have too many negative attributes for my liking at THIS point in time.

You seem to be assuming I am against Romo. Not the case. I'm for making the team better.

IMO, to make this team better, at the QB position, we may very well need to look elsewhere, ultimately.
