What is the Big Deal?

[CrazyCowboy]

I am not ready to put Bledsoe in retirement .....yet!

 

[Doomsday101]

After 3 years and he's not ready then the problem is with the coaches. That has been plenty of time to get him ready. What if Drew gets knocked out of the game. Will he be ready then? I like the idea. It's nothing different than what Pittsburgh did with Ben. And against the Texans it would be a good time to get his feet wet. If he can't play then why is he here?

I did not say he could not play I'm saying Bledsoe is the better of the 2 at this stage regarless of what you think and Parcells is not going to treat this season as some training camp experiment with Romo to make some fans happy. Romo will get his chance but they are not going to do it at this stage of the season. What Pitt did with Rothlisberge happened because of an injury to their starting QB they were not planing on putting him out there. Once they did Pitt relied heavy on their running game and defense and ask little for Rothlisberger in the passing game

Well I'm hearing about poorly ran routs from the Cowboy coach right now I'm seeing poor blitz pick ups and throwing Romo out there at this stage is too much of a chance this early in the season. I like Romo and when his time comes I'll be in his corner all the way but right now no I don't think it is wise to put our season in his hands at this stage. I keep hearing Bledsoe can only beat easy team well we don't know if Romo can do that right now and the fact is Bledsoe has played well aginst some good teams. I also feel playing training camp at this point in my opinion is not a good option. Pre-season is not the same as the reg season

These are good points and I hope you are right about Bledsoe. But the trend of playing good against bad teams and playing bad against good team will not stop anytime soon. Sure he played decent last season against teams like giants, kc, philly...but boy I cant help but notice the many times bledsoe left sooo many tds on the field. It kinda reminds me of hambrick leaving sooo many yards on the fields because of his lack of speed and flexibility. I understand that bledsoe is what he is and will not change period. But his play always seems to have you begging for more and I dont think he has anything else to give. Romo may or may not be the answer but i think if you are a very good football team with a solid defense then you dont need a HOF qb to lead you. Just drive the bus(as BP says) and dont make mistakes! examples include ben in pittsburg (2nd yr guy), dilfer w/baltimore, bradys first SB,...hell Q-car got us to the playoffs by just driving and not making mistakes. Doomsday, Deadslow is prone to make big mistakes in crucial times. I just think its not a bad idea to let romo not make mistakes.

Why do we have to wait for an injury? Or for the season to be lost? At that point and time we have no choice. There were games late last season where yes we had a miniscule chance of making the playoffs, but realisitically we were done. A few snaps for Romo might have been appropriate.

I like Drew, don't get me wrong but it's very frustrating to see him repeat the same kind of plays over and over. We can't afford to just beat bad teams and lose to good teams. This team deserves better.

We've heard all about poorly ran routes, poor protection and every other excuse. That last int was good protection. Witten wasn't open. What happened to checking off to another option? He had time. He panicked like a QB who has never thrown an NFL regular season pass. OH my bad that would be Romo not a 14 year vet.

Just get me some wins.

Beast agrees, why wait until we are 6-6 and the season is done before getting Romo some snaps? Bledslow is a freaking 14 year vet throwing pics all over the field and posters are saying Romo is not ready? Go look up INTs and QB Ratings at NFL.com and tell me how Bledslow give us the best chance to win........freaking amazing:bang2:

I'll admit I was one, after Sunday's loss, to say pull Bledsoe and start Romo now. I've relaxed a little bit, but I still fear Bledsoe is going to drag us thru this season letting us down against the tuff teams and wowing us against the mediocre to bad ones. And we're right back where we were last year.

That said. Does anyone here think Ben Rothlisberger or Phillip Rivers are great QBs. I don't think they are yet, but the teams around them are outstanding so they are not expected to win games yet just manage them.

So I'm back to Romo why couldn't he be the same. Now I know we can't compare our o-line to Pitts but one of the things that Ben does so well and I think Rivers to is move around just enough to buy there recievers time to get open and make things happen. Seems to me Romo may have that mobility to have more time to throw by moving around in the pocket or just cutting loose and running. Before I'm attacked that he was undrafted and played DIAA ball and that anyone who would pull Bledsoe and start "the golden boy/new toy" is a crack job relax it is all opinions and we won't really know till the end of the season who's was right. It just seems, and I'm not overlooking them, that the perfect time to start him would be against Houston. Either way I'll pull for whoever is under center cause at the end of the day I'm Boys fan thru and thru.

 

[mr.jameswoods]

Your right 100 post of replace Bledsoe is good analysis? Give me a break. :laugh2:

So what is the alternative, saying Bledsoe is fine after he tanks big games?

J-VILLE............STRIKE 1
PHILLY.............STRIKE 2

BLEDSLOW HAS 1 CHANCE LEFT, HE BLOWS ANOTHER GAME AND HE HAS TO SIT....PERIOD

 

[Clove]

I've come to the conclusion that some people are too nervous to put Romo in. They feel more comfortable losing with Bledsoe than losing with Romo.

 

[Future]

After 3 years and he's not ready then the problem is with the coaches. That has been plenty of time to get him ready. What if Drew gets knocked out of the game. Will he be ready then? I like the idea. It's nothing different than what Pittsburgh did with Ben. And against the Texans it would be a good time to get his feet wet. If he can't play then why is he here?

so that there is a reason to start hundreds of threads

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Yet it was Bledsoe who came in during the championship game to help NE get to the show. The only stubborness I see is by the fans who actually think they know Romo is ready and are unwilling to accept any thing else. The staff sees Romo day in and day out. I do think they think highly of Romo but they are not going to make a change at this stage and risk the season. We are 2-2 not 0-4

Yes Bledsoe did... it was on the spot and one part of a game. You are asking for most of the season. Aint happenin'

Its kind of scary because 6-6 is very possible. If we play like we have been playing... beat bad teams and lose to good team....

Look at the next 8 games

Texans - W
Giants - L
Panthers - W
Skins - W/L ?
Cards - W
Colts - L
Bucs - W
Giants - W/L ?

In your opinion. Dallas will play the games and we will see what happens. To say with any certainty what is going to happen is foolish. It would be like me saying I know for sure we will make it to the SB. Truth is none of us know which again is why they play the games. Right now Bledsoe is the starting QB and if he continues to struggle then chances are he will not keep the job on the other hand Drew is very capable of going out and playing very good football.

And for all you know those could all be L if Romo was thrown out there. Dallas is not going to risk the season at this stage just so some fans can see for themselfs.

As we both know. This has been beaten to death.
Drew is what he is. He does what he does. It aint enough.

We will endure yet another b/s 9-7 or so season where we probable dont even make playoffs.
I.... quite frankly.... am sick of it.

What you are not understanding is... I dont WANT/NEED to see Romo.. I am just done with Drew.

Where the hell is Jeff George?

 

[gbrittain]

And where the heck have you been...long time no read!

You will feel the way you want to feel, I think Bledsoe along with this team can do the job. We will see what happens.

 

[WV Cowboy]

I don't view playing Romo as panic, or throwing the towel in for the season.

I look at it as stopping the bleeding.

DB's immobility has become a liability.

Defense's can cheat on us and we can't stop it because DB can't get out of his own way.

He has his strengths, but getting out of trouble in the pocket is not one.
