What If?

[CowboyBlog]

Ok, tomorrow is a big game. Romo fans are telling me we made the switch because Bledsoe cant win the big games. They tell me that he wins against the bad teams, but cant win in the big games. The conclusion is that Romo can win the big games. Also, that we are starting Romo because he gives us the best chance to "win now".

What if Romo looks horrible tomorrow and gets us blown out again? You guys have already admitted that Bledsoe can win the easy games. Wouldn't logic then say that we start Bledsoe again against Washington and Arizona so we can "win now."

If the Romo experiment is proven a failure tomorrow night, wouldn't we be giving ourselves the best chance to "win now" by starting Bledsoe in the following two games?

So if Romo gets blown out in the Big games and then loses against Washington, isn't that considered a failure. That is exactly worse than what the Bledsoe haters are telling me that Bledsoe is capable of.

Or, are you guys just happy enough to have Bledsoe gone that you will be ok with losing the easy games as well? That would seem like an extreme step backwards considering the purpose of the move to Romo is to "win now." If Romo cant win the easy ones, he shouldn't be the starter next year anyway. Might as well go back to Bledsoe.

Yawn!

How can Romo get us blown out again if he hasn't gotten us blown out yet?

 

[CowboyBlog]

Yawn!

Yea, season ending decisions by lame duck coaches are boring

Jesus romo fans have selective and short memories.

No. Our point is that Bledsoe can't win outside of bad competition, and even then, he isn't very sharp. That isn't good enough.

This is ridiculous. THe point is that Bledsoe isn't good enough - period.

Yes, but how do you save the season if Romo isn't good enough either?

We haven't seen enough of Romo to say he isn't good enough. We've seen too much of Bledsoe to rip our eyes out so we dont have to him again.

the ROmo homos are just tired of a 13-year vet making the same mistakes that a 'rookie', Romo, is making, in fact, I think we all are, plus we're tired of Bledsoe being a stationary target back there who locks onto one receiver, which is the opposite of said 'rookie'

You don't. THat's kinda the point. We have figured out that with Bledsoe, our season is pretty much shot. With Romo, it is likely shot, but we might be working on getting a quality QB for the future. Otherwise, we know what our priority is next offseason.

You are such a romophobe.

-For some reason I have a feeling your stay here won't be all that long.

it will, unfortunately, just look at how long our resident Eagle troll, Timbo, has lasted

Well, everyone has said that Bledsoe won against bad opponents.

I'm just asking what the team should do if it turns out that Romo is worse.

I dont wont people to get me wrong, I really hope Romo goes undefeated and wins it all. It is just to early to even know if he can get the team to the line of scrimage and get the ball snapped on time.

My anger is directed at Romo. My anger is directed at my franchise who with this move has proven that didn't have a plan to win this year.

It may work out fine, but the odds are that playoff hopes are gone. I was thinking we had a franchise that would plan better than to put superbowl hopes on a guy who may or may not be able to compete in the league.

His first test was Monday night. It was a miserable failure. The second test is tomorrow. How many does he get?

See post above. Why waste the season. Why bring in top veterans in a season when you have to turn it over to a guy who may or may not be good in the future?

What if Romo had taken sacks instead of thowing all those interceptions last week?

stick w/ Romo and see how he progresses, it takes more than 1, 2, even 16 games to gauge a QB

My anger is directed at my franchise who with this move has proven that didn't have a plan to win this year.

they did have a plan, to go to the playoffs and beyond w/ Bledsoe at the helm, just turns out that Bledsoe has regressed, it be the same situation if Bledsoe got hurt, everything can't go according to plan, some things just happen that are out of your control

His first test was Monday night. It was a miserable failure. The second test is tomorrow. How many does he get?

as many that it takes to accurately gauge him

yes our playoff chances have taken a hit, but in no way has the team given up on the season, still 10 games to be played, we shall see

Unfortunately for us, Bledsoe played well enough to keep his job last season, and with the rebuilding that has occurred over the last four years, no one, Parcells or Jones, has felt the need to bite the bullet and try hard to get a good, young, pedigree QB. Maybe they think we have something in Romo. I dunno - I haven't, nor has anyone else, seen enough of him to judge what kind of QB he will be.

That being said - with Bledsoe, the season is a waste, no matter what. Might as well bite the bullet and start trying to figure out what we will do at QB, either for this year (if he can do it) or next. Better late than never.

No. The conclusion is that Bledsoe can't win the big games.

We don't know what Romo can win or not win. But, we do know he gives us the "best chance to win" because that's the players that BP thinks he puts on the field. Personally, I think it comes three games too late, but I'm glad it's at least come.
