This is DEFINITELY Bledsoe's last year

[kdog]

good call and while we're at it could we have parcells leave with him.

 

[DBoys]

That Philly game was it for me and Bledsoe. While I support him because of the team he is on when he drops back I get scared. The only QB I feel confident about dropping back is Romo. I really like what I saw in the preaseason with Romo and I am ready to give him my support.

Anytime we play a good defense such as JAX or PHI we will see the same thing from Bledsoe.

If Bledsoe has 1 more bad game in the next 2 it is time to switch because we have some really good defenses coming up.

 

[Death Star]

The experience of the great majority of NFL teams is that a new QB struggles for a while. Romo is likely to be no different. My desire to win now is what makes me cautious on Romo.

Win what, wild card bragging rights? Bledsoe isn't going to get us anyplace that matters this year. Even if we somehow sniff the playoffs, we're not going to get far after that, Bledsoe would be destroyed by playoff caliber teams. So do we stick with him, get nowhere that matters, and then effectively throw away next year too because then we break in Romo?

This would mean we go into another draft wondering where we should take a QB. I say get Romo in now so we can see what we have. with Bleedslow we know what we have. 8-8 with a big bowl of mediocrity and yet another season of under performing with an over the hill QB at the helm.

Anyone who has looked at things without the homer glasses on realizes that with Bledsoe we need nearly perfect OL play and a dominating defense to win a championship.

Guess what?

We don't have either.

The OL is average and we have limited chances of Flo and Rivera getting better. Columbo and Kosier might, might not. Gurode and Johnson would be solid if we could combine their strong points. We have pretty much zip in depth.

The defense is young...which will lead to mistakes...inexperienced in the 3-4...which will lead to mistakes and forces us to play pretty vanilla...none of which lends itself to being the 85 Bears.

So why not look at Romo? Are we going to hear all that best chance to win BS we got with Vinny? Win what?

A few more games, big deal...unless it's a Super Bowl, I couldn't care less.

Finding a long term answer at QB is 10 X more important than winning a few more games in 2006. Is it Romo? Do we need to draft one? Neither of those questions get answered with Tony holding a clipboard.

By year's end most of our defense will be 2 years into the 3-4, Burnett and hopefully Carpenter, will be making more of a contribution. This defense could be that force that no team wants to face next year...do we really want to waste that by giving Romo his first real action then?

At some point you need to put the long term future ahead of now. And if Romo has the "moxie" Parcells brags about, the team will rally and not quit on the season.

You're making waaaay too much sense and because of this your view will be unpopular. I'm just warning you now.

Drew is done here in Dallas after this year, IMHO. Tony Romo will be the starter, maybe even before the end of this season.

Who hear wants to see this? I know I do. I like Drew. I really do. But he is becoming a liability. He has great games against inferior teams. And then teams like the Iggles come around, where we know we are the better team overall, and he ends up making costly mistakes.

I know... I know... it's not all Drew's fault. But I am beginning to question Drew's accuracy and decision making. He is losing what Romo has found... and that is his moxie and confidence. I believe players on this team are slowly beginning to lose faith in Bledsoe as each game passes. No pun intended.

Beast agrees 100%, Bledslow melts down like Chernobol against good defenses. We are going nowhere with this guy. We need to either play Romo or sign Chris Simms in the offseason. I would take Simms in a heartbeat over Bledslow, I would even throw in that bum Flo to sweeten the trade.:laugh1:

 

[Beast_from_East]

Why? Are you concerned about Romo throwing pics, Blesoe is throwing them. Are you concerned about Romo not avoiding the rush, Bledsoe can't avoid the rush. Are you concerned about Romo missing open recievers, Bledsoe is missing open recievers. I'm confused, why is it likely we would take a step backwards? I don't see it that way at all. Romo is no rookie. He has been around for awhile. He's accurate, mobile, smart, and hungry. Let him play!!!

 

[Big Country]

Next year could come this year if Bledsoe does not start overcoming some of his deficiencies (sp).

Those now outweigh the positives... Not a good sign

 

[Mansta54]

Thank you sir!!! I see you're tired of him missing WIDE OPEN recievers also.. Dude we should be 4-0 right now. He's killing us...

 

[TRUTH87]

I'm a young Fan, and I can say I only really saw Aikmans last years. but in reality all I've gotten from the Cowboys and seen is QB trouble. Its always the QB costing the Cowboys games..always. Dallas does not have a QB bla bla.

I've grown tired...

 

[Beast_from_East]

I don't really think the relative strengths of our wide receivers have anything to do with the basic issue here. Do you really think Romo COULDN'T POSSIBLY be worse?

Dude, look at the stats. Bledslow is statistically one of the worst QB in the NFL. The numbers dont lie and the numbers dont try to spin either. Dont take my word for it, go look up the stats yourself if you dont believe Beast.

So the argument that Romo would do so much worse does not hold water for Beast. The conclusion is that we need a new starting QB if we are going to be considered a playoff team.

Even freaking Jimmy Johnson (who everybody here credits for our SBs) says we are not going far with Bledslow.

YOU JUST SUMMED UP THE WHOLE QB DEBATE IN ONE POST......EXCELENT

"Dude," the burden of proof isn't on me (perhaps you didn't read the rest of the thread). My argument is with people who say Romo "couldn't possibly" do worse than Bledsoe. I'm not saying Romo wouldn't do better than Bledsoe--he quite possibly could--but he could also possibly be worse. Can you really argue with that?

How could he do worse? Bledsoe is missing WIDE OPEN recievers, throwing pics, taking sacks, and we're losing ball games that we should be winning. How could Romo do worse then that? Please tell me!!!

 

[Bleu Star]

I can argue with that simply because with Bleedslow I already know what I have. 8-8. With Romo you could actually have something better. That possibility intrigues me. I would rather take the unknown over the known today especially when the known is 8-8.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

If this is bledsoes last year than it probably means we got a future with Tony Romo.

If they feel Tony is not the future than chances are Drew stays here and they go after a QB in the draft...unless they go for one in FA.

My hope is Tony Romo pans out and we don't have to worry about trying to get another QB in here and wait for them to get ready.

I believe players on this team are slowly beginning to lose faith in Bledsoe as each game passes. No pun intended.

So holding a clipboard on the bench for 3 years gives one "moxie and confidence"? Parcells's actions have contradicted his statements about Romo.



In fact, Parcells created a monster here by allowing Romo to play so much in the preseason. If he had played Bledsoe for 3 quarters each of those games, none of u would even know who Romo is. I have a strong feeling that the Cowboys coaching staff knows a little bit more about their QB situation than any of us do. They see Romo run the first and second team offense everyday in practice. They see a lot of other things about Romo that none of us have any idea about. We only hear 10% of what goes on, and that's only the stuff they decide to tell us. For some reason, Dallas fans have turned Romo from the equivalent of somebody who has never read a word of the Bible into the Pope over 1 week.



I should go back into the old threads to see how long this has been happening. There's no point in lookin at QBs like Losman. Just think about what u all said in years past for in house QBs. I'm sure all of u called for Cunningham, Leaf, Anthony Wright, Hutchinson, Henson, and Quincy (after one of the many benchings) to replace a starter in the middle of a season. I'm sure all those guys had "moxie and confidence" at the time too.

This has been going on for years now. You guys are like a broken record. I love how people went from having some legit questions about Romo's abilities, to declaring him God.



Yeah Bledsoe played miserably that last game, but Parcells is a proven coach and there's a reason he's sticking with Drew.

 

[Frozen700]

yea we should get rid of bledsoe...i cant believe he got burnt on those 2 touchdown passes

 

[BadKarma]

Parcells said he wanted a good look at what he had with Romo. That's the reason he gave him the amount of reps he received.

At some point, we need to know what we have with our backups. In this case, Romo needed some time to showcase his abilities and allow the coaching staff a good assessment on whether the guy can play.

Bledsoe is obviously NOT the long-term solution for this team. Nor is he even the short-term for that matter. He's slow, takes too long to take his drop, is making rookie mistakes and isn't making the throws needed.

There's a reason why the Patriots and Bills let this guy go. He'll tease us with some good performance against average to good teams but will fall short against better teams.
