Yes Romo has the skill. He's looked sharped in pre-season and he is now the Cowboys future. He fits in the Tom Brady story scenario perfectly right now. You want him in your dynasty league, but for a redraft this year we'll have to wait and see if Bledsoe holds onto the job. If you can afford to take a flyer on a FA that has great ceiling but yet may never make a single start, take the gamble. I think there's a decent chance that Bledsoe gets hurt with his lack of scrambling ability. He might even get pulled for Romo if he makes more bad decisions like he did in week #1.
Agree w/ this assessment. I think the chance of Romo starting due to Bledsoe getting BENCHED (non-injury) is about 20%. Factor in the injury potential, and I think there's close to a 30% chance Romo gets the nod at some point this season (even if it's only for a game or two). Romo is an important pickup for Bledsoe owners IF your backup is not someone you'd be comfortable starting on a weekly basis. If you've got a solid backup, it's not as urgent to pickup Romo as insurance
I think that is a good estimate. If the Cowboys go 0-3 and Bledsoe continues to cost them games, I think the chance increases.Significant Shrinkage said:
He said "long term". TO and Glenn are old.
No, play Crayton in lieu of signing Owens.
Not with you on that one Red.Crayton is not all that.At best a possession WR.
Understood. I'm not at all saying Crayton would ever turn into a WR resembling Owens. I just think he's a guy with potential and in roughly the same age range as guys like JJ, MB, Witten, Romo, the o-linemen and the defense, all of whom in an "ideal world" you'd play to develop as the core of the Cowboys for the next 5+ years. TO's signing, while undeniably a boost to the talent level in that offense, necessarily symbolized a decision by the team to put some of their young talent's development on hold in an effort to win this year and maybe next year, while Parcells is still around. It may work out fine just the same, but that's my take. The fact that I view TO as a cancer who ultimately will melt down given time only encourages my thinking in this regard.
)Even so. Glenn has been a good WR for the Cowboys. I just disagree with that. And they can challenge for that division if their OL get's it together and that defense stop's underachieving. I am not a Cowboy fan but they have a talented group of playes and Owens was a huge signing for them. Glenn is the perfect compliment to TO as well.As far as Romo, he will not sniff the field ( other than an injury or garbage time) unless Bledsoe falls flat on his face and just stinks up the joint. I am not a huge Bledsoe fan, but like Warner he needs some time to throw and there were complete breakdowns in pass protection and he did not have a good pocket to throw the ball from on some of those turnovers. He does hold the ball too long, but he has a rifle for an arm and is a good leader. I suspect he will light it up this season. I have faith Bledsoe will get the ball to Owens enough and TO will make him look real good. I don't think Parcells is going to panic after one week. Adjustments will be made and I expect them to rebound this week against the Skins. I have a feeling Owens and Bledsoe will have a great Monday night, with Glenn getting into the act.
I'm not sure the accolades you give Bledsoe outweigh his negatives that you also admit. Romo has positives too. The only thing really keeping Bledsoe the starter over him is a lot more experience. No, Parcells will not panic, but he will likely choose the wisest path. That path may possibly lead to Romo by seasons end. Bill openly states he wants to get Romo in there. There's a reason they just gave Romo a contract and let Henson go.
Yeah a few reasons.1) Henson was a bust and was just bad.
Your comments seem contradictory to me. On one hand you say you think it would take "a lot more" than one game for change, but then you also say you can see it happening after the next two games. I also don't see similarity between Bledsoe falling flat on his face and being the reason they go 0-3.
Huh?I am saying that I think Bledsoe will be fine. My point is I don't see him being ineffective. So I don't think Romo is a worth a spot on a redraft roster. A deep dynasty roster yes. He is a good prospect.
He might not be ineffective..but he is indeed old and not mobile..Romo is young and mobile..in other words he can get hurt easy..so picking up Romo as Bledsoe backup is a best bet if you got Bledsoe..I always keep 3Qb's on my roster..my #1 his backup and a QB for my #1's bye week.
The highligted part of what
