about Romo coming in:

"Drew is a great quarterback and he's around longer than I've been around. It's unfortunate to get replaced like that in the game. But, you know, you prepare for Drew Bledsoe. You don't really prepare for Romo.

And sometimes you get a back up quarterback that comes in and he just, you know--because he's unconscious basically, he's not really thinking, he's just trying to make something happen--he's successful. And today he came out and got a little hot but we were able to make some plays."

And when Romo is prepared for... I expect this road trip to be brutal if Romo is given the reigns.

Yeh, well you prepare for Bledsoe, and if you have a halfway decent defense..couh cough Jacksonville, Philly, NY...you have success.

Ill take my chances with Romo. At least he isn't 0-3 against good teams.

How much more brutal can it really get?

Yea, he has a winless lifetime record on pass to be sacked more than David Carr and set the NFL record for INTs.

This is going to be a bad road trip.


The worst decision since the 4 down run against the eagles some years ago.

He's 0-1 in my book, it was his INTs that cost us the game.

I would say Bledsoe also beat them last year, but actually JJ did most of the damage running for 190+

I'll take that. Aikman was 0 and 15 his 1st year. Edit: 1st year starting that is.. :)

Oh really....boy that dumb pic on the four yard line by the "vet" sure helped....or how about the drop by the star receiver on a fourth and two...that wasn't all that great either.

Face it...this team would have been smoked regardless of the QB. Bledsoe has had a year and half to prove he's useless. Time for the kid....sorry.

I thought Troy was 0-11.

As an aside, you can't possibly be comparing Romo to Aikman can you?

Agreed. Bledsoe is 0-2 vs. good teams. Romo 0-1.

i'm tired of seeing teams with any semblance of a defense pound a defenseless geezer. i'd rather see a young guy with the potential to improve. if we go 0-10 the rest of the way with romo - and we won't... we're better off in the long-sighted scheme of things.

drew is a short-term answer... and that answer is a resounding "NO".

it's time for tony romo.

Ummm, 3 picks in a half. The offense looking desperate, the running game being abandoned... I think Bledsoe could beat Washington and Arizona. Romo? Not so sure.

I'm comparing records, is that okay? You brought up him being 0 and 1, but we were losing before he took over, so you can say he is 1/2 and 1/2.

I'm not sure Bledsoe could beat a paper bag at this point.

Give Romo a week of practicing with the first team and a game plan centered on his talents and lets see what he does.

Keep in mind, I've defended Bledsoe hard on this board before. I just think he has lost it - badly.

If we lose to Carolina, then lose to Washington, we are tied for the NFC East basement.

How or why do you prepare for Bledsoe? Just bring your pass rush and you will be successful. How hard is that?
