Really does not look like your wishing the best but then I'm use to negitive remarks from you. God I would hate to live in your world if your this negitive about everything else. I don't know how Romo will do one way or the other but he deserves at least the benifet of the doubt and support of the fans in his 1st start.

As long as we stop shopping for quarterbacks in baseball dugouts, I'll support anyone that gets behind center.

I think we'll be in for a surprise once Romo gets settled in. It was just time to put him in there. I didn't think that I'd see him play this season, but Drew Bledsoe doesn't give our offense a chance when the opposing defense's main objective is to blitz and get pressure on him any way that they can (which isn't hard to do).

When you can design 3-4 ways to get pressure on Bledsoe, you effectively disassemble our entire offense.

I was the founder of the Romo banned wagon, but I just hope that our team does well even if we turn the job back over to Bledsoe.

I had high hopes for this team and I still do.

We've got a tough schedule ahead and this will be a true test of Romo's ability.

I've waited a long time for this....

If Romo can avoid the turnovers he has a chance to help this team. He must take care of the ball.

I think this. I think Parcells sat down and realized that with Bledsoe as the QB, we would simply be a 97-, maybe 10-6 team at the complete best, with a little luck to boot. I think he didn't see any way we could be better than that. A little above average, out in the first round, if at all.

With Romo, he saw a wild card. A guy that could spread the ball around and use the immense talent we have on offense. He sees a winner, a guy that could come in and win a Super Bowl in the next year or so if he performs. Or, a guy who will come in and totally destruct and leave us with a losing season, in which Parcells will leave after the season.

So, it becomes a gamble. With one or two years left in Dallas, you either play it safe with Bledsoe and end up with a good record, and no shot at the Championship. Or, you throw the kid in there and hope he lights the world on fire either this season, or possibly next if he shows a lot of promise.

Those were his only two choices. He chose to roll the dice and he will go out that way.

I agree.

By the way, Dooms, long time no see.

Do you ever find yourself missing the old Aus 360 days?

I think Bro. Greg is still over there.

:laugh2:

Cheers man.

Good to hear from you. It is been a while since I was at Austin360. I have to say I like this site much better.

He won't acknowledge your post...he just likes to come in, moan and groan, then leave...it's his M.O.

Mr. Happy is a hit and run type of person...pretty sad!

Eddie's been around a lot longer than you have, you'll forgive me if I don't put too much stock into your sniping.

I agree, those were his only two choices. And I think that you did a nice job of explaining it. Bledsoe gives you an average season, at best. If we had a top 5 offensive line and a better offensive coordinator, then it may be a little different story.

I think we miss Sean Payton quite a bitbanghead, and I think that Romo gives our team back some of what Payton brought, which is a more modern dynamic to the game.

Another problem is that T.O. hasn't even came close to living up to the hype. He drops more balls than anyone on the team and he looks so slow that anyone can cover him now. I remember a time when virtually nobody could cover T.O.. Now, half way through the season we're realizing that T.O. is more of a washed up headache than a talented game changer. He's simply not the player he once was.

Back to the point, I think that Parcells was left with the delimma of knowing that the chances of winning weren't good if he stayed with Bledsoe, and the same may be true with Romo, but when you compare the two players as far who can bring what to the table, the decision starts looking like an easier one to make in favor of Romo.

Romo has that competitiveness, that fierce competitiveness that you need, he lets us be a lot more unpredictable than Bledsoe. When you watch him play you see the same genetic component in him that players like Brett Favre have (notice that I didn't call him Brett Favre or marvel at his great phisical "potential" and I didn't use any puppy terms like pedigree).

It's just that feirce competitiveness... I think, that, coupled with Romo's poise and moxie gives this decision of Parcells a better chance of having a favorable outcome with this year's team.

Thank the Lawd above that we're not being forced to watch one-look Willie guide the team to defeat!

I think that Romo really does give us the best shot, and I think that Parcells finally sucked up his pride and allegiance to Bledsoe and made this decision.

It had to be a tough on the The Tuna to leave his darling DB for the beloved Romo... but he still has her. She'll just be catching touchdowns from a different quarterback.

I'm hoping to see number 9 make the connection to 83 on a regular basis.

Let's go, Romo! This is your shot at the big time, baby!

He's not really criticizing Eddie's longevity. More the value of his contributions. Seems to me a reasonable basis for criticism.

I'm assuming you mean TG there, not DB.

I don't think AGS, that Terry factored one iota into Bill's decision to go with Romo or not go with him, nor was T a factor in DB's length of tenure by as much as a second.

Good receivers indeed do adjust to any QB. Terry certainly made do with Quincy. He should do just fine with Tony .

As if I care what you think about me...! Go hug your Henson blow up doll and stop responding to me if you "don't put too much stock" into what I say.

Eddie is negative of most everything Cowboys that I read...unless of course it's the Cowboys on Madden...

Snipe that, boy...

That's not what I am saying at all, Barb. I don't think Terry had anything to do with it. It was Drew who couldn't get him the ball.

I was saying that Bill set aside his loyalties to DB because Romo gives the team a better chance. I was alluding to the fact that even though Parcells has broken off his marriage to Bledsoe that he still has "her", yes, meaning TG. My favorite Cowboy at the moment.
