Yes, because he has "moxie", has started more than 8 games since high school, is excellent at golf, and last but not least, he's not Drew Henson.

Nors, your not so subtle point that Henson has been eliminated from the competition did not go unnoticed.
But it will go uncommented on.
That Tony is capable of 'pushing' Drew Bledsoe is ludicrous. No matter how many camp fodder types he may light up in preseason.
Give the kid a break.
His competition is not with #11, it is with himself... and the guy on Tuna's speed dial.

Being the Patriots fan that you are (just kidding, NorsNors said:
), you fully know that it took a Mo Lewis hit to knock Bledsoe out of the starting slot for Belichick to replace him with Tom Brady. And that was during a 0-2 start for New England. Only a similar occurrence here will result in Bledsoe being benched this season.

Bledsoe starts unless he goes down before the season begins, no matter how badly he might play in exhibition games. Hence, there really is no "versus."
As for Tony Romo, nothing has been settled with the number two spot. Has the important phase of evaluation really even begun? I would believe game action would be an important part of the equation.
Bill Parcells loves to point out how one can never really know about a player until "he is under duress."
I do not believe we have anything like that to go by at this point.

I could be wrong but I think Nors was commenting on the fact that Romo went for a touchdown in the scrimmage yesterday with the second team offense against the starting defense and Bledsoe got a field goal with the starting offense against the starting defense.

From all I've read Romo has distanced himself from Henson and most prepared to run an NFL Offense. Now that said - could he take over for Bledsoe? On Henson, he is relegated to #3 and thats my opinion. The battle is really Romo and that guy on speed dial. If its VT I will officially bash Parcells. That would set this team so far back emotionally.
Romo is subtly on the spot as I read into the dynamics. Henson is going nowhere and will also not be #2. Its up to Romo to win backup job. That said Romo can go from #2 to cut if he fails in next week to 10 days.......
I'm pulling for the kid. And who's on speed dial?

where have you read anything about Romo distancing himself from anyone? I
I'm real curious, because I'd like to see it
I read his stats from last night but also read he was very underwhelming...he had one ball picked clean and two others that should have been picked...his td was a dink pass to a RB that ran the 15-20 yds to the endzone on his own
I also listened to Nick Eatman yesterday suggest if an outside QB is brought in to backup Bledsoe that Romo will probably be shown the door, and not Henson
that said, as I said in another thread I think Henson may have arm troubles and could end up on IR...you dont go from throwing the way he was to whats being reported now w/o something going on physically

I'm pulling for him too, because what could be on speed dial is scary.
Has Blake been released from Philly, btw? Huard from KC? (as an example)
We won't have to worry about something as ancient as Chris Chandler, (not after Vinnie) but ANY vet QB who has seen several (or a hundred) system and doesn't require milk feeding could be on that dial.
If anyone scoffs and says 'Tuna only trusts his guys and won't sign someone he has no history with', I think they are mistaken. Bill's just run out of those.
I recall Tuna once sounding off on why Scott Zolak was an excellent back up... we know what he's doing these days, Nors, but anything similar any bit younger could be on that dial.
It's up to YOUR boy to make sure that Bill doesn't have to dial up 1-800-hasbeen quarterback.

I applaud the fact that you're being realistic about this, Barb. You put some of the men on this board to shame.
I'm glad somebody gets it.
If only we could pull some of our other fellow fans heads' out of the sand.
This is a real possibility that another QB not on our roster could be brought in.
Why ignore it?
Props to you for not doing so.
