I may be wrong on this but I kind of doubt it.

I am pretty sure we have had longer threads in QB debates.

Naw, it's not even close yet.

Not even remotely close, I've seen these things hit 30+ pages

BTW, it's 5:38 PM Central Daylight Time and Drew Bledsoe is still looking for a receiver

I understand that every fan has an opinion, but this is just getting ridiculous. We have a 3-2 record and could very well be in the drivers seat in the NFC Beast after the next 3 weeks.....And of all the things to derive promise or hope from, more than half of the fan base is waiting for Bledsoe to get the hook, so we can mortgage the season with a virtual unkown in Tony Romo? Yes the same guy that nobody cared about when the other 'savior' Drew Henson was on the roster. I'm sick and tired about hearing about how 'mobile' Romo is...big deal so without any blocking up front either he can buy an extra second to still get sacked or make a game killing play?

Some of you 'fans' are so Naive and gullible. It makes me laugh to know that if Tony Romo didn't have such extensive playing time in the pre season than there wouldn't even be an argument going on right now. But everyone saw him do these "amazing" things against no pass rush, vanilla defenses, and scrubs that are now pumping gas and flipping burgers and this becomes enough to crown him our savior. Ironically this is basically from the same group of fans that rode Henson's Jock straight to the unemployment line. Newsflash: Remember Danny Wuerfel, his numbers were astronomical and he was a bigger preseason legend than Romo....where is he now I ask?

Why does it seem that cowboy fans are so out of touch with the reality of the NFL. There are some very intelligent fans on this board but its pathetic to see a once-proud cowboy nation get excited in thier pants everytime this team acquires a quarterback via trade or draft. From guys like Anthony Wright Clint Stoernor and Chad Hutchinson to the era of Drew Henson Tony Romo and Jeff Mroz, u almost always see a post with some "hopeful" cowboy fan talking about how special these guys can be, and comparing em to the likes of Kurt Warner Jake Delhomme and Trent Green, trying to convince themselves that the common every day undrafted free agent has what it takes to be the next "guy outta nowhere"....anything to get rid of 'the most overrated QB of all time' despite his gaudy resume and HOF numbers.

Just before pre season there was talk about how great the boys would be this year, and how Well Bledsoe Will play. Some of you guys predicted 30+ TDs, others said 3,800 yards, and now after 2 poor outtings against pass rushes that our O line simply couldn't block ( i'm no rocket scientist, but maybe that was the reason he got sacked) you guys are ready to send him to the pine because unlike last season, you've watched the back up QB play.

So to all you cowboys fans that are blowing this entire situation out of proportion, and are being too stubborn or too lazy to realize that the issues with this team lie far beyond the Quarterback position, i say to you legions of mindless cowboys fans OH WELL. IF BP wants to make a change he will, and if he doesn't want to then u guys gotta deal with it and stop wasting your time posting in "bench bledsoe" threads. Parcells is one of the greatest coaching minds in any professional sport and if he thought Tony Romo could walk on water than believe Bledsoe would be history by now. Please realize how greatful we are to have a capable veteran like Bledsoe and just let the Romo hype die....next year I'm all for an 'open' competition in camp and seeing who emerges as the better man, but 2006 is Bledsoe's show.

:starspin :starspin :starspin

Only one person has the ablility to shut these critics up and that is Drew Bledsoe himself. I fully support Bledsoe as the starting QB but nothing I can say or anyone else says will change the critics minds. Bledsoe is the one who can go out and shut people up it is on him.

How I hope Tony has it too...and that same germ of recognition is festering inside the Big Tuna's gut, even if it's just a suspicion. Only that element could sway the balance this year....Drew's arm, and experience will always trump Tony's 'mobility'..it's got to be something more 'important' than the ability to evade a blitz, imo, for Bill to make a switch.

MOXIE!!!!!!!!

LOL.. you almost made me spit my grey goose & cranberry all over my keyboard.

Not that anyone cares but I have to throw my 2 cents in and say that I think Elway was the best QB in the history of the NFL. He never had a running game until Davis came along and he never had a legitimate number one WR, he did have a great TE in Shannon Sharpe but he also got to a few Super Bowls before he came along. When the game was on the line and the Broncos needed him was there week after week. Growing up in Denver I got to see him play everyweek and even though I depised the Broncos I couldnt help but admire, respect or enjoy watching him play the game. He was Joe Montana on steroids with less talent around him, until the last few years of his career when the Broncos were pretty much unstoppable offensively. Just my opinion.

 

[Bleu Star]

pretty much unstoppable offensively.

I would like for our offense to be referred to in this manner. I'll keep wishing.

 

[Jack-Reacher]

True enough, Jon.

But you know what? Mumbles had a pretty good idea that Tom was something special, and that is why he had moved him up to the second team qb spot, getting rid of Michael Bishop so he could develop Brady. Yes, it took the Bledsoe injury to get Tom on the field, but Mumbles has subsequently hinted Drew's days wre numbered anyway, and that he realized in practice and preseason that Brady could read the field very well.

COULD be just post-mortem self back-slapping, but the bottom line is it was field processing that Belichick saw as Tom's advantage.

How I hope Tony has it too...and that same germ of recognition is festering inside the Big Tuna's gut, even if it's just a suspicion. Only that element could sway the balance this year....Drew's arm, and experience will always trump Tony's 'mobility'..it's got to be something more 'important' than the ability to evade a blitz, imo, for Bill to make a switch.

I concur completely. I think that Parcells feels that Romo does possess that certain something. I think that we all saw glimpses of it in preseason, the thing that concerns me the most is Parcells track record with QB's. Phil Simms was never an elite QB, the Giants defense was their trick pony. I don’t want to be in that position with this team, not with the weapons you mentioned earlier on offense. I would much rather have a solid defense to compliment a stunning offense. I think we all agree that Bledsoe has his faults, and he might not be capable of leading a stunning offense. The concern I have is that we don’t know if Romo can either.

Regardless of what happens this Monday, I agree that Bledsoe is on a shorter leash then he was at the beginning of the year. Based on his performance thus far this season, he should be as well. I would like to see Romo come in with a 14-point lead sometime and see what he can do. Rather than switching to time control game planning, let the kid go in and let's see what he has got when the opposing team is still fighting and the game hasn't been put out of reach. Then we would all have a better perspective on where we truly are in regards to the QB position.

By the way, I gotta agree with Brain Paint. No way does Elway not belong in the top group of elite QB's. To say he is mentally deficient in any way is off the mark IMO. Your team is down by 2 touchdowns with 7 minutes left in the game who do you want as your QB? I'll take the comeback kid everytime.

Roger Staubach... really


but Elway ain't a bad choice either

 

[Stautner]

And what you can't seem to get is I don't think he fits in that category.

Get it now?

I think Elway belongs in the first category.

Not sure why you don't get it.

Sure we all went around in circles spouting this point and that point and saying things over and over but if you want to boil it down to the finest point.

I just don't agree that he belongs in that category.

Fine and dandy.

OBVIOUSLY you don't think he fits in that category - I never said you thought he did. That's not a point of contention.

Once again you created something bogus to argue over.

All I was saying is that you were falsley accusing Michael Winicki of saying that Elway was the same calibre QB as Bledsoe and Bradshaw. He did not say that.

Don't make it worse by falsely accusing me of saying things I didn't say.

Sammy Winder made a couple of Pro-Bowls early in Elway's career.
