Bledsoe or Romo?

A local knee doctor in Dallas is about to make a fortune with all of the knee-jerk reactions after Sunday’s Cowboys win over Houston. Take every play away except for two completions that Tony Romo threw, which happened to be his first two in his career. The one touchdown that Romo completed to Terrell Owens will have more people talking about him replacing Drew Bledsoe than anything Bledsoe could have done wrong.  Before Sunday, to me it was ridiculous to think that Romo could come in and be the leader of this team.  I still say that it’s ridiculous to think he can just overtake a veteran with only two NFL passes under his belt.  However, in the Romo-camp, they were treated with massive ammo with his brief performance.  Before, it was always said that he hasn’t even thrown a pass.  Now he has...two of them...and two really really good ones.  

I’m just interested to see how things play out from here with the quarterback situation.  I personally think you have to stick with Bledsoe because of his track record and stability.  I don’t, however, think he can guide you to a playoff win.  He seems to be the second coming of Danny White.  He’ll amaze you with numbers and he’ll beat the teams that he’s supposed to.  But when it comes down to crunch time, he doesn’t have it.

I could almost guarantee an new quarterback for the Cowboys next season.  But it’s all about knee-jerking now.
