Down But Not Out

Well as i watch the Cowboys beating wind down, i cant help but think that this is exactly what i thought would happen. The exception to that statement is that i never thought Parcells would go to the kid so soon. I applaud the move despite Romo's 3 picks, and honestly hope that Romo continues to start at least the next few games. if he continues to throw 3 pics a half then then maybe we go back to Bledsoe, but i'm ready to give Romo his chance.
I love Drew Bledsoe. He is the consumate professional and i have defended him all year. I watched the pass rush tonight and still thought that there was nothing that Drew could have done. The interception at the end of the half, however, was inexcusable. Veterans just cant make that throw. I wouldnt even have made that throw. But he did and thats why he is no longer out starting QB.
Romo certainly has some learning to do. His second interception was helter skelter to be kind. It was the type of backyard impovisation that has no place in the NFL. And it practially sealed the game when we still had a good chance. But i saw somthing in him that i hope he can harness. He had a spark that the offense responded too, and the giant's defense as well. Defenses simply didnt respect Bledsoe anymore. They came into games planning on blitzing as much as possible, knowing that more often than not they would get the better of the statue. Ususally that doesnt happen to teams that have as many weapons as the Cowboys. That shows the complete disrespect for Bledsoe. Romo has the athleticism to escape the rush and make teams pay when they blitz. not every time mind you, but hopefully enough times to back defenses off. Also, Romo has brought Jason Witten back to the league. Welcome back JW, we've missed you.

Drew, thanks for the effort, and never blaming anyone. thanks for the totally professional attitude you brought to the office every single day. Thankyou in advance for carrying the clipboard and doing everything you can to help Romo find his way in this league. You are a special person and a talented passer. You have absolutly nothing to be ashamed of. You are done, relax and enjoy the view.

Romo, you're in. Be young, have fun, win games.
