My Meaningless Thoughts on the Game...

[superpunk]

and that is all I really want to know...

is Romo the QB or do we need another...

And from last night, you've got to think we need another - yet, as it was so eloquently put by DW, people are intent on blowing sunshine up everyone's *** with "hope" at what Romo has shown. So far he's shown he can move the ball, show some nice flashes, get everyone excited, and then rip their heart out.

Some hope.

 

[Zaxor]

Yet the same can't be said of Bledsoe right?

Convenient.

no... 14 year vet making the same mistakes over and over again

 

[MichaelWinicki]

It's very simple Gentlemen......it all boils down one known fact. We need a QB. I think 90% would agree it's not Bledsoe. Many of us were against the signing of this bandaide when it happened.

Is it Romo???? We simply don't know.

So Don't you think it's time to find out? I do and so do you whether you want to admit it or not.

We all know we haven't had a QB since Aikman.....so lets get some questions answered and plan accordingly and put this question to bed.

How dare you come in and apply logic to this argument!

Don't you know that Romo was suppose to come in according the movie script others have written for him and completed 22 out of 24 with 5 TD's and no picks? I mean that's realistic right for a brand new QB facing one of the best defenses in the NFL?

Oh yeah, you also want to attempt 24 passes to 4 rushing attempts so that you "confuse" the defense-- I'm sure they would never pick up on that "pattern". (ahem)

 

[L-O-Jete]

how many snaps does a backup get? the answer not many

now how much actual game playing time is needed to work out flaws? what ever it is it certainly isn't 3 minutes

Romo should have been getting playing time every year he has been here if Bill thought him a keeper...

sorry but under no circumstances was Romo properly prepared...holding a clip board brings nothing to the table as far as the ins and outs of playing qb except to get an idea how the game is managed and that is all you can really learn from the bench

And you think he did a good job of that?

 

[Cbz40]

That is another perfect example why I dont believe in sitting young QBs on the bench for a year or years.

What is the point if they are still a "rookie" when they step out on the field?

Exactly......I almost got run off the board for saying that 1000 times a year ago.

Do you not understand that the argument is not "Bledsoe should still be in?" I think nearly everyone agrees the move needs to be made.

The issue comes up when people are so freaking happy that anyone but Bledsoe is in the game, that they bat their eyes and throw around words like hope and upside - which are both completely unfounded.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

If 4 years preparing isn't enough, what is?

Reading about sex in your dads "Playboy's" for 4 years isn't like "doing it" the first time either Hos.

That's all I'm saying. Is it Romo time... Yes. Will it be Romo time starting 2007... Don't think so.

First time I've ever been accused of that!!!!!

One thing for sure We aren't going anywhere Until we get a real QB.....

If it Romo GREAT!!!! If not ... lets go get one.

 

[Hostile]

And we proceeded to try to "fool" the defense and make our new QB a little more comfortable by passing 6 times for every time we ran the football.

You must live next to Mike Martz.

LOL

I'd be interested to see how the run to pass ratio reached 6 to 1. I highly doubt we abandoned the run until it was too late to go with it for fear of not having enough clock left.

 

[burmafrd]

Rivers sat for 2 years and is now doing well. Palmer sat for a year and did very well. Its a valid practice and was the way it was done for a long time in the NFl when you could afford to sit expensive guys and let them watch and learn. It will be very interesting to watch this next game- see what being prepared and knowing he will be starting does to Romo.

Hell, I'm not happy.

We had our arses handed to us in virtually every aspect of the game. We were embarrassed on national TV. Bledsoe sucked, Romo sucked, the coaching was horrid.

It was one of the lowest moments in my life as a Cowboy fan BUT where I'm 100% certain that Bledsoe is a POS I'm just don't know about Romo. I'm willing to give him more than a single half of football against an inspired and capable opponent.

Let's not forget that we have one of the worse Oline in football as well.

... I didn't even start an evaluation...much too early.. and I hope nobody did either...he did some good things and some bad but certainly not enough to be evaluated on

but yes there is hope...now that Bledsoe is gone (hopefully)

Bledsoe meant D O O M...mediocrity...14 year vet doing the same stupid things over and over again... no future, no present, no nothing

sheesh lets let Romo have atleast 10 games before we call him hopeless shall we..until than there is hope

I think we need an OL just as much.

I'm all for finding out if Romo is the QB, but don't throw out this BS about he made us hope again. No QB throwing 3 INTs in one half is going to give me hope. Not even Roger Staubach.

He played badly. Period.

Thrilled we got to finally see him, but there are no excuses for him. The field was ready to harvest and instead of a sickle he brought a hoe and chopped it down.

Hyperbole doesn't suit you MW. I didn't come anywhere close to making these kinds of statements. Not even in the neighborhood.

I also haven't praised a player for 3 INTs. Therein lies the difference.

That's fine - there is hope for the future. There always is. But there was no hope from that game. And I don't think anyone wants to hear about how much Romo did well after he tossed three picks in a half. I know I don't. Then again, I'm not creaming my pants just because Romo isn't Bledsoe. I need to see more than that.
