I wouldn't report you even if you called me names directly. However, to say you were subtlely attacking me personally is laughable. I really couldn't care less.
Exactly, you claiming that was laughable.

Thank you.

If you're going with the concept, that Bledsoe is the deciding factor on whether the Cowboys win or lose, then you just don't understand professional football.

In the two losses this season, he was the deciding factor.

I get it. You think Bledsoe is better than Romo. I just don't understand why you think so poorly of Romo.
I don't. I've said so many times in this thread that I lost track that I like him better than Bledsoe because he's ours and not a retread.

I also like Lousaka Polite better than Thompson, Barber, and Jones. That doesn't mean I want him getting the bulk of the carries.

Okay, so I did say it that way. That isn't the way you were quoting me, but it's the same thought. I had previously said several times that Bledsoe earned the job and it hasn't been taken away from him. You rejected that. That is what I meant and what I mean. No handouts.
I think Romo looked better in preseason than Bledsoe. His mobility (or simply lack of Bledsoe's immobility) gives the offense a slight edge. I don't think he makes the same mental mistakes that Bledsoe makes either.

In my opinion, Bledsoe "won" the starting job because he is a veteran, not because he is better than Romo.

You are governed by your irrational dislike of Romo. Every time his name is brought up you say something bad. It's been pretty blatant this year. You don't like him. I get it. I just don't know why.

He's just upset that his boy is on the Minn scout team now.:D

I didn't mean "poorly" in the you don't like him personally sense. I meant it in a why do you think he is a worse option than Bledsoe sense.

I already understand this and I disagree with you. I think Bledsoe looked far better and I challenged you to find me an article leading up to the 1st week of the season that disagreed with that thinking.

No response. I'm still waiting. ;)

I keep answering this. Bledsoe outplayed him in the pre-season. In my opinion by a lot. Why is that so hard for you to accept? I get it that you disagree. Fine, disagree. It doesn't insult me.

I have not read the entire thread. However, for me it is not about who is better or not.

Chances are Bledsoe is better, but I know for fact that Bledsoe is not good enough now nor will he ever be.

I can not say that about Romo, he is unknown quantity. Time to see if he is worth keeping around or not.

Playing Bledsoe at this point is much like playing Vinny a few years ago. I do not see what we gain by keeping Bledsoe as the starter.

Honestly, I find it hard to believe that anyone without an agenda would think this.

Bledsoe always looks good with no pressure on him.

Ill tell you what Bledsoe is a better passer than Romo( hell most qbs in this league) when he has time to throw. But the problem is do you expect to give Bledsoe ample amount of time if we make it to the playoffs? When pressured i feel like Romo is a better option at the QB.

and i hate to inform you that like it or not There are going to be teams that put pressure on our QB ESPECIALLY in the Playoffs like it or not.

Fair enough, give me evidence beyond YOUR opinion. Because quite frankly that isn't going to ever sell and that isn't an insult.

Romo had better preseason stats. You really can't get much more than stats and opinion. I guess that's an impasse.

Fine, then find it hard to believe because I don't care. My conscience on that accusation is 100% clear.

He had one game to himself to pad those stats. In head to head comeptition in the rest of the games Bledsoe won the job.

Great?

No.

The Eagles played alright, but they didn't play great.

The Cowboys gift wrapped them 10 points in the first Quarter. Bledsoe's fumble and 3 INT's, underthrow to T.O., numerous bad passes and horrible decisions in the pocket are what kept them in the game, and subsequently led to them taking the lead.

Now, don't get Bob Dole wrong, the Eagles pass rush and offense had a little to do with that, but it was Bledsoe choking on offense that kept giving them those opportunities.

I agree 100%! The team may not have played great, but we were still in position to win this game up until the last 10 secs. But it was Bledsoe's INT's, fumbles, poor passes, lack of mobility and holding on to the ball to long that ultimatley did us in today. Don't get me wrong. I am not letting McrBriar, RW and Pat Watkins off the hook but this game came down to DB's bad play.

I really don't think Romo could have done much worse today even with the expected rookie mistakes. I think it is time to look to the future and see what Romo has to offer.

I agree with you on this.

Why not fix the OL if the QB is better?

It's like, "the car isn't running good so let's sell the truck."

Please. Anyone but Bledsoe for Christ sakes.
