Bledsoe was screwed because we couldn't block for him.

Teams would shoot right up the middle on him everytime and it was just getting to the point that he was useless for our offense.

Okay-what IF Tuna stubbornly stuck with Bledsoe last year?

1. We would have went goose-egg on that 3 game road trip

2. We would have lost to Indy

3. Tuna would have pulled a Jim Mora Sr and walked before T-Giving

4. We likely wouldn't have won another game the remainder

I thought Bledsoe was fine in '05-but, of course, he has a knack for playing gangbusters in yr 1 of his new team, then fall back to see old ways(i.e. he made the Pro Bowl in yr 1 Buffalo).


:confused: I wasn't arguing for Bledsoe? I said the 1996 version would probably be an upgrade not 2006

Is someone actually arguing that we should have kept Bledsoe instead of benching him for Romo? Wow. It was Romo's time. Sean Payton argued for starting Romo in 2005 in fact.

I read somewhere there was a want to start him as far back as his rookie year over what was in front of him. A lot of speculation -

It's 2007 and Romo is the man.

Glad we didn't because with the patience of the fans, and Ownership, Romo would have never made it in Dallas to this point.

Had he panned out for someone else we would really have egg on our face.

Can't believe I'm responding to such a ridiculous argument, but after a while draft status means squat. The cream must rise to the top, regardless of draft position, or they get released.

Using your draft logic, Tony Romo would be unemployed as we all marvel at the talents of Patrick Ramsey, Heath Shuler and Desmond Howard.

Ramsey is not intolerable, give him a smidgen of credit;)

I looked on Tony´s biography on wikipedia

Never trust Wikipedia. Anything on there might or might not be true.

Thats true about Wikipedia= never use if for anything important. Just about anyone can post and edit anything there.

I agree, but wikipedia is not bad to use for the references at the bottom. Usually, you can go straight to the real source from there.

However, a recent review in Nature compared Wikipedia entries on a variety of topic to some encyclopedias and found comparable accuracy.
