WHY we need to see Romo

[superpunk]

Take it easy, dang its only the internet. Your frustrated from trying to defend something thats indefensable. If Bledsoe hasnt corrected those problems after FOURTEEN YEARS.......GUESS WHAT????He's never gonna. Simple as that.

It has nothing to do with defending anything. It has to do with botched metaphors that are confusing you, and you responding to yourself.

What's Bledsoe's TD:INT ratio over those 14 years? I'm pretty sure it's not 1:3. but go on believing Bledsoe isn't better than what we saw last week.

Hey, I KNOW! For the last 14 years every Sunday I turn on the tv in October at noon and theres an NFL game on. Maybe for some crazy reason when I turn it on this Sunday theres gonna be Mongolian mudwresting on! LOL. Nahhhhhhhh, I dont think so, the 14 year track record would seem to indicate a pretty consistant pattern!....LOL

This thread sucks.

......WHEN are you going to GET that I am NOT talking about last Sunday? Ive said over and over again I am talking about a FOURTEEN YEAR history of what we can expect from Drew Bledsoe.

This thread sucks.

Then WHY prey tell are YOU such an active participant in it? You must enjoy suckyyness I guess. :bang2:

His 14 year, borderline HOF career? A guy who's been extremely successful with Parcells? A guy who played very well and wise last year when he had his starting LT healthy? Don't let all THOSE facts get in your way.

If it had nothing to to with Sunday's game, where was this thread before the season?

It had potential. Unfortunately, you're taking the potential out to the woodshed and lopping it's head off.

Or, I'm just participating to let you know how much it sucks.

I dunno.

And if BP felt the same way about 14 years of history Bledsoe would not be here. The reason he is here is Parcells feels he can win with Bledsoe. It really does not matter how you or I feel we are not the HC of the Cowboys BP is and right now BP has chosen Bledsoe as the starting QB of the Cowboys and that is just the way it is.

.....Would you say RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, that our O line is in the shape it needs to be in for Drew Bledsoe to take us to a Superbowl???????? I wouldnt. That also weighs heavily into the equation. I am merely being truthfull about the hand we were dealt.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

My biggest beef is what is Drew's valued experience doing for him? Experienced QB's take care of the ball and gives his team a chance to win. It's not the fact that he threw int's... it's when and how. They were just awful. I would feel great if I believed that his miscues and horrid play Sunday was just an abberation but it isn't. THIS IS WHAT DREW DOES. Has anybody looked up his playoff statistics? Drew needs a pretty clean pocket which won't happen all the time.

Very good points...OF course, you have to be careful with facts. Some people cannot process them as well as others!!!

...I too believe Parcells can WIN with Bledsoe. I just dont believe he can win a Superbowl with Bledsoe with the current team we have. THAT is my main concern. Gotta run. Check backlater. Should be fun! No hard feelings just good debate....

It was good enough on sunday. Bledsoe wasn't.

That's the difference. I think the line was playing up to it's potential. They held their own against one of the best Olines in the league. If everyone played as well as our Oline did against the Jags last sunday, they wouldn't have finished last season with 47 sacks.

Bledsoe, OTOH, played awful. We have NO reason to think he will continue to play like that. He will not continue to make those mistakes.

IF our line continues playing that well, and Bledsoe improves, it will be a scary team to contend with. It pretty much was on sundauy, Bledsoe was just off. IF he continues to be off - I'll jump to the Romo "ship". But there is no reason to say Romo needs to see the field, in the forseeable future.

This is crap. Drew does not typically have 3 interception games and make decisions as poorly as he did Sunday - if he did he would have been out of the league in 4 years rather than playing/starting in his 14th year.

Drew does have his shortcomings, but to say Sunday was the norm is bogus.

Sensible post. People need to take a breath and realize that every QB, no matter how talented, will have bad games, the best limit it to 2-3 a year. Bledsoe was way off Sunday and it's possible, maybe even likely, he was dinged up some and that had an effect on his accuracy. In any case this game coming up is much bigger than last week's. DB has to show up in this game. Remember last year he played well in the first game and then we ended up losing week 2 to the skins, which effectively kept us out of the playoffs. So 1-1 this year is actually ahead of last year's pace.

 

[peplaw06]

Bledsoe's Career TD:INT ratio is 245:201. If every week were like last Sunday and he had 245 TDs, his ratio would be 245:735. Definitely not the norm.

It's not the best ratio ever, but that's the nature of a gunslinger mentality. Favre is the biggest example of this. Guys have confidence in their arms, and feel they can fit it anywhere. that used to be Bledsoe's mentality. Bill has been trying to break him of it. Sometimes he regresses, but for the most part, last season he showed he's past that.

That's the best point you've made in this thread - I was starting to get worried about you for a while (where are the men in the white coats...).

With the current team the Boys have (on offense), neither QB will likely win a Super Bowl.

Parcells is going with the guy he has experience with; the guy that has thrown for over 40,000 yards in his career. Parcells is trying to get Romo ready to play in the regular season; he's brought Romo along like Landry used to do with his QB's - something that a few baseball players didn't get an opportunity to do... but that's an old worn out story!!!

Let's use the bus driver analogy for a minute: For now, Bledsoe is the bus driver; he has a much better resume than the backup bus driver; the backup bus driver hasn't been allowed to take the bus out on the street in traffic yet - he's been practicing around the parking lot for a while now...
Now let's take a look at the bus - the offensive bus. We've put some nice new wheels and some new tires on it and it looks better; but under that bus, there's a suspect suspension. The Suspension (offensive line) had some rust on it and a broken spring or two and JJ spent a little money fixing and replacing those parts.

Was it enough? We don't know yet. This past Sunday, the bus driver took out a few road signs. Was it totally his fault? At first glance, some of us would say "yeah!". End of analogy...

The run blocking and running game hasn't done much yet and that puts more pressure on the QB to produce.

You can't just look at the QB and say he's not doing his job; you have to look at the offense as a whole - and it starts in the trenches. If the offensive line isn't run blocking or pass blocking well enough, your offense will suffer.

Bledsoe had one bad game so far and yes he's had other bad games in his career; but he's had a boarderline HOF career; he's played well for Parcells before, I expect he will again.

I'd like to see what Romo can do in real games too, but it'll happen when it's time. Parcells does like Romo and I think he's bringing him along properly. Let's see how it plays out. Let's see how Bledsoe plays this week before we say he's finished...

I'm just as interested in how well this offensive line is going to gel as I am in the QB situation, but it's going to take more than a game or two!!!
