Straw Poll: Right now...Do you want Romo?

[theogt]

Uh, no I'm not.

When the press was saying that Bledsoe "answered" his challenge was after the first half of week 2.

 

[kTXe]

Romo. Without a doubt.

Today's performance from our QB was one of the worst performances by an NFL QB I have seen. Ever.

 

[cowboys19]

Bledsoe is not going to win us the superbowl i guarantee you that.

So since we arent going to the superbowl with bledsoe, why not put in Romo?

Unless your really dumb and think we can go to the superbowl with Bledsoe?:laugh2:

 

[Martice]

I don't agree with that at all. In fact it is 180 degrees the other way. Even the media who love a QB controversy admitted that Bledsoe sowed up the starting job by outplaying Romo.

I hear you Hos. However, that was preseason. The same preseason that people use to discredit any progress that Romo seems to have made over the last year.

The bottom line is that Drew's short comings have been well documented even before he became a Cowboy. Every year it's the same thing with this guy. We played a poor game today but the Eagles gave us a chance to steal it like they did with the Giants earlier this year. The Giants and Eli took the candy from the baby. The Cowboys and Drew gave it back.

Romo. there just isnt any reason anymore to start Bledslow when he continues to take unnecessary sacks and for throwing so many bad passes. we are better off losing with Romo than with Bledslow, at least Romo gets some experience for the future

Everyone says "Romo would have saved us a few sacks." I doubt it he would had a vanilla playbook and wouldn't be allowed to audible to the max protect. Romo is more mobile then DB but he isn't McNabb.

 

[Hostile]

I would rather lose every game for the rest of the season and allow Romo to develop than to win 5-7 more games this year knowing that Bledsoe cannot win a pressure game to save his life. At least I can understand Romo making rookie mistakes. There is no excuse for the type of poor decisions that Bledsoe makes at clutch times. I finally realize know what the NE and Buffalo fans have been talking about all this time - and it really sucks to have to go through it as well.

With Romo starting at least we will know if we potentially have our QB of thefuture or focus on drafting one early next year.

I wouldn't mind knowing for sure at QB. Hell, I've been asking for this for 3 years. I don't think our ship is sunk yet. It's too early in the season to give up.

Once you make the move you cannot go back. At 2-2 I am not ready to take a CHANCE and HOPE it works out.

He also would have got the throws off quicker if they blitzed. They also wouldn't have blitzed like that with Romo.

 

[DallasCowboysRule!]

It's Romo time!

 

[Hostile]

No, but listening to logic would be a nice start

What logic? That a guy who has never thrown an NFL pass is our best option?

 

[Hostile]

Then I guess we'll have to agree to disagree

Nothing wrong with that.

 

[Undisputed]

I am not going to sit here and say that Bledsoe is worthless. But the advantages of playing him are outweighed by the disadvantages. It just isn't worth it. This guy needs a perfect OL to be effective and he is never going to get that. We need a QB who is going to roll with the punches and adapt to pressure. That isn't Bledsoe.

What good is a quick throw if your recivers are covered. A quick throw to the next down.

Here's some logic for you.

Premise:
1. Romo could not be worse than Bledsoe (though he could potentially be better).
2. Bledsoe can't get us to the playoffs.

Conclusion:
Start Romo.

Adapt to pressure but he is going to get killed first, then you are back to bledsoe.

 

[Cajuncowboy]

Here's the problem as I see it.

When we played tough teams, Jax and Philly, Bledsoe looked pedestrian at best while at the same time making bone head plays.

When we played teams that were not that good, Wash. and Tenn. he played very good.

This is why I thin we need to get Romo some snaps even if it means playing a tight game against Houston. (Though I don't think Houston can keep it close.)

And yes, I did see the Tenn/Indy game today.

I just think that now is the time that Parcells was talking about at the begging of the year.

They said it for the whole pre season too.

By all means show me an article the week before the season started that said Romo had earned the job.

I'll wait.

An article, not an opinion here.

So scrap any hope in the season 4 games in and gor for a top 5 pick. If that is what you are saying then fine but I still believe DB can get us 10-12 wins.

You're the king of changing the subject to suit your argument. It gets pretty annoying.
