Why not Romo? Why not now?

[HighTechDave]

lol, was funny. new england comes to mind. Staubach too...

 

[peplaw06]

Except for being a high draft pick what did Philip Rivers do in a regular season game more than Romo has?
Not much if any.

You mean before he was handed the starting job?? Uhhh, well he had at least thrown one NFL pass.

And if you think you can use the argument that Romo may not be the future at qb then why did we sign him to a long term deal?

You mean that 1 year extension... definitely long term.

Everybody seems to think that if Romo comes into the season that we are giving up any real chance at the playoffs.
Like Romo is just as green as Young,Leinart and Cutler.
I don't buy it.
I think Romo is ready and Bledsoe's road games will cause us to find out sooner than later.

Let's see, Arizona has no shot at the playoffs, Tennessee has no shot at the playoffs, and Cutler isn't starting. What was your point there again??

Exactly

Bledsoe is making game altering negative decisions which are long term problems; hanging on to the ball too long, forcing the ball into coverage, and throwing the ball to no one in particular on the other team.

Yes, I've been a Bledsoe apologist for sometime and I've not given up on him. However he is driving me crazy with some very fundamental mistakes and sloppy play.

No way he throws that game ending INT Sunday. He still has two downs left to generate a TD.

However, those who think Romo will be the Golden Child need to rethink it over. He will make plays Bledsoe can't but will in general make more or possibly slightly less than Bledsoe and that is being extremely optimistic and generous.

I don't have the answer but I know some of the problems. And it all ain't Bledsoe.

I'm not assuming Romo will be a golden child, savior of the team, or the next Staubach, but if this organization honestly believes he can be the future starter for this team then put him out there. I can take rookie mistakes from a rookie or someone getting there first start I just can't take it from a 14 year veteran who's suppost to know better. And maybe 4 games in is too early to pull Bledsoe, but my fear is he's going to tease us all year long w/good game, bad game, great game, horrendous game until we end up w/him starting all year sinking w/the ship and goin 8-8 or 9-7 and missing the play-offs w/no chance at the Bowl or have any idea what Romo really has.

Steve Pelluer would suck too

boy do i have great memories of backup QB's everyone screamed for. Tom put him in, under pressure from everyone, and all we got was a big bag of suk.

folks, shut up and deal with what you have. no fixing your old 64 Chebby's suspension. It sucked from inception, just deal with the cool factor until we get the real long term QB.

I AM THE VOICE OF REASON!!!!!!!!

DEAL WITH IT, YOUR COWBOYS, ARE, JUST OK!!!!! Have fun with them.

Again, I don't want the change because I believe Romo is the future. I want it because if he's not I want to know so we can move on. I am sick of being in QB purgatory. It is time to move on up. Whether it be Romo (very long shot) or we draft one. Bledsoe aint the answer.

By the way nice avatar. Fritz and "the Claw"

 

[HighTechDave]

my friend.....

you are the very first to get the Avatar after all this time. You are a homeboy.

ok, with that, take a deep breath on the future part. Romo is only a "Backup" future. That guy is in no way a full time starting QB. an Excellent backup, yes absolutely! You are right on.

Our full time/long term, is not on the team yet, and Bill knows it. His Tuna gut will sour way before that.

 

[Ratmatt]

It's a 2 parter boys. I'm just curious what everyone's take on this is. If the braintrust of the Cowboys believe Romo is the future then why not now. I know, I know Bledsoe will win more games, maybe, but does anyone believe he will honestly get us to and win a SB? What in his career has said he's got it in him? Now I'll give Bledsoe his due. Apparently he is a great guy off the field and so on, but come on if you're still CONSISTENTLY making rookie mistakes after over 14 years in the league isn't it a time for a change. Give Romo the rest of the year and see if he's got IT. I mean the real IT. No more rethread QBs. Either he's the makings of a bona fide QB stud or we get to drafting. No time to find out like the present. And no time better to start than against Houston. Just my take.

What's yours?

I agree.I think it is time for a change.The thing is this team is not a super bowl contender with that offensive line.This is a 9-7 borderline playoff team with that O-line.When they lose back to back road games in carolina and washington,this town is going to come unglued.I believe bledsoe is the wrong QB to be playing behind that line.

I guess I'm just spoiled to great QBs. Makes me sick to have all these retreads come thru here and the only drafted qb we've had in 6 years was a 4th rounder we reached for in the 2nd who was more interested in drugs than football.

Now the Von Eriks (sp) they were some wrestlin dudes. I know they are from out around your way somewhere who's still w/us. They had a lot of tragedy in that family. Sad stuff.

Thanks for stayin on topic, especially this late in the game.

 

[Tricky-22]

Against who, the preseason come on. While I think he has tools at 2-2 and it is idiotic to turn the reins over to him and guarantee yourself a loosing season. This team isn't game planned for him and I am willing to bet many of the veterans will give up on the season and therefore guarantee a losing season. While I agree we need to see this guy in a game unless in 4 weeks we are .500 or close to it I don't see it happening.

If you are willing to accept another mediocre 8-8 or 9-7 season, then I say stick with the statue. If the Cowboys go with Romo, then we may very well have a worse record this season than with Bledsoe at QB, but Romo will be a better QB next season. Can you say that about Bledsoe? I think not.

 

[Nav22]

He stuck with the vinterception too, whats your point?

Hahaha... yeah, because playing Henson (like so many like you clamored for) was clearly the answer. Remember after Henson's debut in the Ravens game... all the idiots saying, "Bill KNOWS Henson would outplay Vinny if given the chance, that's why he's sticking with Vinny!" Sounds kinda like you and the rest of the Romosexuals clamoring for Tony now, doesn't it?

Where is Henson now, again? Starting for another team? Or out of the f***ing league?

If you are willing to accept another mediocre 8-8 or 9-7 season, then I say stick with the statue.

"Another"... you speak about Drew like you have years and years of experience watching him QB the Cowboys. We won 9 games last year with an OL that became ATROCIOUS after Flozell was lost. Remember? Or are you dense enough to think we'd have been Super Bowl contendors despite Petitti and Torrin Tucker, if we had a more mobile QB?

The funny thing is, all the people screaming for another QB are the SAME PEOPLE who wanted Troy benched for Steve Walsh... Troy benched for Randall Cunningham... Quincy benched for Hutchinson... Vinny benched for Henson... and now Bledsoe benched for Romo. Time has proven that NONE of these moves would have been wise. And yet, the lesson has yet to be learned. Pathetic.

For the record, I thought Drew Henson was a joke just like Drew Deadslow.

I speak that way of Deadslow because I have 13 years of watching this putz screw up football games as a turnover machine statue of a player. It doesnt matter how many years as a Cowboy I have seen, his track record of mediocrity speaks for itself. I have seen this all world QB chased out of two seperate cities, I think I know what I am talking about. He isnt going to miraculously pull his head out in Dallas if he hasnt been able to the past decade and a half.

The only thing that is pathetic are the people that STILL think deadslow can win a super bowl without the help of Super Tom Brady. This team is going nowhere fast with deadslow, just like every other team he has ever been apart of with the exception of the year he set the record for INT's in the super bowl.


Did you know Drew Bledsoes QB rating for the last 14 games he has played for the Cowboys is lower than QUINCY CARTERS? Chew on that, Mr. Bledsoe.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Sadly this is what Cowboy nation has become. Okay w/mediocre. It's what seperates most on this board. You can be in love w/mediocre to poor QB play all you want, but I expect more. And if the starter can't do more he rides the pine. I still can't believe that no one sees that Bledsoe makes ROOKIE mistakes that a guy that has been in the league 14 YEARS has to quit making. We just except this because we hope he might do better. That is a joke and this orginazation and even it's fans need get some pride and quit settling. you say he gives us the best chance to win. I say he hasn't proven that. Sure he'll beat the Texans, Cardinals, and Titans of the league and make it look easy, but when he faces a real defense that rattles that cage it's sack, int, worm burner football time. We'll check back on his progress at the end of the season, not by game 7, to see who hit this one on the head.
:bang2:

A-"freakin'-men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's unbelievable to me that people are ok with this dufus guised as a QB. He has thrown SEVEN interceptions in four games.....what would it take fourteen???? We are worried about replacing him with inexperience.....ahh hate to tell you but Bledsoe is playing like a rookie right now, so how much worse could it possibly be?

 

[Concord]

As long as Parcells is coach...Bledsoe will have to get killed for him to play Romo. He's such a hardheaded I'll never admit a mistake kind of guy...It's the thing I hate about him.

It's always...Listen guys I'm not switching QB's period no matter how bad he plays...That's So Old.

 

[Nav22]

He's such a hardheaded I'll never admit a mistake kind of guy...It's the thing I hate about him.

Then why did he cut Ryan Young? Why didn't Skyler Green make this team? Why has Bobby Carpenter been inactive in regular season games?

ahh hate to tell you but Bledsoe is playing like a rookie right now, so how much worse could it possibly be?

"Right now"... it's been 4 games. And he's been solid in 2 of them. Why don't we wait a few more weeks before committing to FLUSHING THE TOILET DOWN THE SEASON?

Here's what I'm wondering... after the Texans and Giants games, we go on the road for 3 straight... Commanders, Panthers, and Cards (not sure about in what order). If Bledsoe were to win at least 2 of those road games PLUS win the Texans and Giants games, would that shut you guys up about playing Romo? Would the season still be in the crapper? Would you jump back on the bandwagon? Because we'd be 6-3 or 7-2 at that point.

I already know the answers to those questions.

Yet again, you are acting like deadslow has only had 2 bad games as a Cowboy, and both of them have came this season.

The season is in the crapper with deadslows loser *** as the QB one way or the other.

 

[Beast_from_East]

If you're already assuming that we have no Super Bowl aspirations for THIS year, then guess what? You ARE flushing the season.

I'm not ready to do that, and I don't think any level-headed fan would be.

Get some damn perspective. We're 2-2, 1-1 in the division. LOTS of football left to be played. You people talk as if we're 0-4.

Dude, there are alot of level-headed fans on this board that want to see Romo. The reason is pretty simple, Bledslow has been in the league 14 freaking years and he is still making bone-head, rookie mistakes. He is one of the lowest rated QBs in the league and there is only 1 QB that has thrown more picks.

What everybody is starting to get pissed about is that Bledslow aint gonna get any better. If he cant avoid the rush after 14 seasons, he aint gonna start doing over night. It is like Tuna says, you are what the numbers say you are. Right now the numbers rank Bledslow as one of the worst QBs in the NFL, you cant argu with the numbers. That is why posters are pissed and want to see Romo

 

[Cochese]

flushing The Toilet Down The Season?

Lmao.

 

[Nav22]

Well, you never had any Super Bowl hopes for this year. Most Cowboys fans did. So I guess my angst isn't really directed at you... it's directed at fans jumping off the bandwagon because of a 2-2 start. I still think there's PLENTY of time to right the ship and make a playoff run with Bledsoe behind center... starting this week vs. Houston.

Right now the numbers rank Bledslow as one of the worst QBs in the NFL

Yes, because "the numbers" after week 5 are dead-on accurate and will dictate how the rest of the season will go. Like David Carr and Damon Huard being numbers 1 and 2 in QB rating. Like Frank Gore leading the NFL in rushing.
