I wrote this a few minutes ago in the Opinions thread, but Colishaws article stimulated me to re-post it in its own thread. This stinking mess in Dallas has to change.
The article I wrote:
We are all steaming mad about the Cowboys debacle in Philly. We went in with the best talent, the best coach, the best team, and we got our ***** whipped. Yes, we were whipped. In the 1st quarter, I saw Bledsoe from a near straight-on shot as he looked downfield from the huddle. I moaned loudly and said to my wife that Bledsoe was scared. You can see the fear in his eyes in that 1st quarter video. They are big as saucers, with tiny orbs of color surrounded by a sea of white. The man was wetting his pants from the pressure, and he folded like a cheap tent in the game.
Bledsoe was a pretty good quarterback five years ago, but he is well down the backside of the Bell curve now. The Bell curve is a common statistical measurement of performance, etc. In Bledsoe's case, he started out pretty good as a college draftee/rookie, got better as he learned the job, peaked, was benched, traded, traded again and now he starts for our team over Tony Romo.
But Bledsoe is no good as a contending NFL starter. He is years beyond his prime, and in his prime he was only "better than average". We will never win the division with him, and have no possible chance of winning the superbowl with Bledsoe as starting QB for the Dallas Cowboys.
Start Romo now. He will screw up, sure. Who cares? Romo will just get better and better. He will improve and the man has the best instincts for football that I have seen in a Dallas QB in years. He reminds me of Joe Montana, a player the Cowboys thought too small to play pro ball.
If Romo does not start in the next game, we are dead for the season. If he starts two games from now, it will be too late. His first game will be a great game, but his second game will be very rough, I expect, as the excitement for him gives way to responsibility and new realities.
But we must transition from that proven loser Bledsoe to the current QB hope, Tony Romo. He has the instincts, the mobility to mitigate the piss poor performance of our offensive line, and a fresh body. Bledsoe is finished. After he takes a couple of hits, his brain just tanks. He is done, no better than a very good backup now.
Do not even think about his performance against the Titans last week. The Tits are a very, very bad team right now and 11 guys from this forum could at least score against them. No, Bledsoe is washed up. If Parcells keeps him as No. 1, then Parcells has simply slipped into the doddering old malaise of pre-retirement, where coaches stick with worn out, used-up players that they know from "way back", because he's familiar with the player and doesn't actually have to think anymore.
That's mine. Go Cowboys!
