OK. Since you are being rude and answering a question with a question, I'll take a shot at it.

1) Quick release.

2) Quick reads

3) Can be used in a more creative fashion.

4) Very enthusiastic

5) No deer in the head light look.

6) Injects energy into the team.

7) Spreads the ball around.

8) Keeps his head upfield and not at the oncoming rush.

I'll give you more when you give me some.

I was merely returning your rudeness with some of your own medicine. Can't handle it?

Bledsoe is the more complete QB IMO, and there's no question in my mind based on what I've seen from Romo. He is more careful with the ball, he has a better arm, he has experience, he is more of a leader, he can keep us in games, and there's more...

Bledsoe doesn't "watch the rush." IMO he spends too much time looking downfield waiting for the homerun to develop. Bledsoe spreads the ball around well enough IMO. And Romo merely injected energy into the crowd and the team because it was something new. If he struggles, which I expect as with any new starting QB, that will wear off.

Other than that, few of your points amount to more than "mobility and moxie." You're just restating them. Enthusiasm?? Yep, he was like a big dumb puppy dog tonight, and that's not intended in the endearing sense.

I'm throwing in the towel on Bledsoe, not the team. Actually despite the hadnwringing, I thought the defense played pretty well given the circumstances.
Well you just said, I doubt we'll win with Romo, but I've thrown in the towel there. What else could that mean??

Bledsoe, this year vs last year.

Last year - oh ****, hes gonna get sacked. Phew the ball is out...and when it was out, u had some confidence it was going to the right guy.

This year - Oh ****, he's gonna go down. **** the ball is out...it's getting picked

He has 8 pics in 6 games. 2 of them in the endzone.

This is not a fluke anymore its a trend.

Well you obviously haven't watch the more COMPLETE QB take his last two teams to exactly ZERO playoff games and there is no reason to believe this season would be any different. The guy is a has-been, he has taken way too much punishment over the years and is playing like a 45 year-old. It's over and the team's future cannot be wasted for an extra win and a 8-8 season with someone who has no place in the future of this relatively young football team.

Agree. It's very obvious he's playing much worse this year than last year and you can see the tentativeness he was playing with as he felt the pressure of being benched. Blesdoe was a dead end street that gave us no hope for the future.


I believe Romo can become a Delhomme/Brees type QB for us. Go check those guys stats the first year they played.

I saw a nervous QB who is indiscriminate in his throws and will turn the ball over.

Says the Bledsoe-backer.

I like Bledsoe and have defended him every time. But now that Romo has been inserted, I'm backing him. It's time for a change.

You want to know what he brings to the team that Drew doesn't? The ability to move. You say "mobility and moxie" like it's a bad thing. It isn't. What I saw with Romo tonight was his ability to escape. If things broke down, which they will tend to do with this OLine, he can get out of the pocket and find the open receiver. Because of this they will not need max protection as much. Notice how Witten had a big 2nd half? Ever wonder why? He wasn't wasting his time blocking for Bledsoe's slow butt.

If we have every had a team that could be good with a bus driver QB, this is it.

I believe that when the offense stops taking drive killing sacks, and throwing innoportune ints, the D will play better as well. They didnt play THAT bad. They had no help, again.

The running game has been good, except today.

Teams seems to realize, stop the run, and once you have Bledsoe in a must pass situation, you have the advantage.

It's amazing how someone will give Bledsoe 14 years to show improvement (which he really hasn't. Since his lone SB appearance he has slowly declined), yet Romo gets a half and all of a sudden, it's a "we can't win with Romo" parade. Get over it peplaw. Your guy sucks and it's obviously time to move on. Romo gives us no less of a chance to win than the statue does. That's painfully obvious............. to some.

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.

But that's all Bledsoe will get us: victories against bad teams, with an occasional victory against a solid team.

Smells like 9-7 to me; a mere repeat of last year.

Do we want to move forward in that direction? What does that do for us? Or is it time to bite the bullet and finally know what we have at quarterback so we can make an astute decision at the most critical position this coming offseason?

If we continue with Bledsoe this year, to me, this is what will happen: a) we'll miss the playoffs; b) we won't know about Romo; c) we might be tempted to start Romo next year to "find out" about him, thereby throwing in the towel if he's no good.

We're going nowhere with Bledsoe. Let's find out now about Romo so we know what to do next year.

We are here to win a Super Bowl. All 32 teams, except teh Lions and Cardinals, are.

You dont win the Super Bowl with a QB who struggles in almost every instance in which he faces a good team, specifically a team that can get to the QB.

Bledsoe isn't going to Solider Field, or anywhere else and winning us a playoff game, let alone 3. Because with him starting anymore games, we would be lucky to sneak in as a wild card.

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.


Well said.

Are you serious? Drew is more careful with the ball? Are you ***'ing kidding me? (obviously not)

Can you give me specifics please. What makes DB a more complete QB?



Bledsoe doesn't "watch the rush." IMO he spends too much time looking downfield waiting for the homerun to develop.

This is one of his problems. Shall I add that he also pats the ball. Doesn't throw a good short pass or screen. AW forget about it.

Bledsoe spreads the ball around well enough IMO[/QUOTE.]

To Whom? Where have Witten and Crayton been the last few weeks? Hell TG has been missing as well. I don't know what games you are watching?

And Romo merely injected energy into the crowd and the team because it was something new. If he struggles, which I expect as with any new starting QB, that will wear off.

OK. He merely passed for over 250 yards in one half. Everyone was involved in the passing game. You have to get excited about that. It has been a while since you didn't know who was going to get the ball. He made some pics but Drew has had games like that twice already this season and we only played 6 games!!


Other than that, few of your points amount to more than "mobility and moxie." You're just restating them. Enthusiasm?? Yep, he was like a big dumb puppy dog tonight, and that's not intended in the endearing sense.

HOw does quick release amount to mobility?

How does quick reads amount to mobility?

How does the Deer in the headlight look equate to mobility?

***Now if you want to add mobility and moxie into the equation that just makes more of a case for Tony.

This is all a scheme by Parcells to get Brady Quinn in the draft.
