Peter King says he thinks Dallas seriously considering Romo (1 Viewer)

[Mister CIA]

In my fantasy drama queen league, Jerry Jones, Bill Parcells and T.O. are referred to as the big 3.

Certainly Bledsoe controls the situation here...he put on a clinic tonight which, regardless of whether Mort and PK were getting good intel, kind of makes this a moot discussion for now.Woodrow

Not to mention Jerry Jones was in the booth saying it's Bledsoe.Jerry Jones thoughts > Peter King thoughts.

which was my point earlier.Bledsoe had not even played in a pre season game, so I think there was some jumping the gun. The Romo performance more directly affects the cowboys future, and henson. I think it is very clear if there is a QB of the future on the team his name is romo, and henson is expendable.Not that this news should be a shock to anyone

Bledsoe's case last night was definitely helped by 2 amazing endzone catches (and Hurd getting away with a little shove) combined with some poor DB play. Otherwise I think you're looking at 3 FGs. The completion numbers look good, but Glenn and Hurd definitely made him look a lot sharper than he actually was.

Productive, yes, but certainly not as efficient as you'd like to see out of your starting QB.

Either way, Bledsoe is the man in Dallas and it shouldn't be argued otherwise unless the offensive line is unable to protect him properly.

Disagree. I thought he put both passes where they needed to be. Great touch, IMO.

Couldn't disagree more. Exactly what was lacking in his performance? I guess you're saying he needed to throw those TDs such that the WRs didn't actually have to make plays...? That is some weak criticism.

[Urinal Mint]

And if that's the only criticism I can find for last night's performance, I'd say we're in pretty good shape in Dallas.

Sorry, I like to nitpick because I'm a perfectionist

Here's what Draft Sharks had to say about it:

** Yesterday morning SI's Peter King wrote that he "seriously" believed Cowboys QB Tony Romo might displace Drew Bledsoe as the starter. We thought salmonella couldn't survive in commercial mayonnaise but Pete proved that theory wrong. What a load of hooey. It's amazing how people forget about Bill Parcells' tired old head games.

Did everyone catch the Mort Backpedal at half time? Talking about how much Bledsoe gets sacked that Romo might have to come in at some point. Bledsoe getting banged up and being replaced by a backup is entirely different than Bledsoe losing his job coming out of TC. I've said it many times. Mort is an idiot. If I won that contest to have Mort with me at my draft I would ask if I could trade it for the 2nd place prize....

You can say the same thing about how Romo has looked. The fact of the matter is that Bledsoe and Romo are both playing well despite not having TO. The scenario that makes the most sense is that Parcells sees Romo as the possible QB of the team next year and needs him to play well in case of an injury to Bledsoe. Bledsoe is the starter, however, there is a lot on the line this year and the Cowboys expect to make a run for the SB. If the Cowboys lose a couple games because of Bledsoe than Parcells won't think twice to see what Romo can do. I just don't see Bledsoe doing that poorly, especially early in the year. In 2005, his worst games were on the road against the Giants and Redskins late in the year when he usually falters. This year he only plays one game on the road outside when it will be cold and that is at the Giants Dec. 3.

Romo puts up 19/25/1/0 for 235 yds against the Seahawks (#9 on FBG defensive ranking).

Bledsoe puts up 12/16/2/0 for 156 yds against the Saints (#31 on FBG defensive ranking).

Note: Romo put up 6/8/1/0 for 138 yds against the Saints as well.

Who had the better game?

2 games down, 2 to go. I still think there's a very good possibility that Dallas will be starting Romo sooner than later.

And it won't take a Bledsoe injury to make it happen...

How can you take anything a man with a sweater wrapped around him says seriously?

Yeah, I'd have to kick my own ### if I brought a guy dressed like that to a draft as some sort of consultant....

Did Hurd and Glenn make good catches? Absolutely. Did Bledsoe hit Witten in the hands in the endzone on the first drive that ended in a FG? Yep. Nice play by the defender to knock the ball loose. So yes, Bledsoe could have had 3 FGs. He could also have had 3 TDs.The botton line is that he made good decisions with the football. For things that he could control, he did very well. Once the ball leaves his hand, he has no control. Evaluate Bledsoe for what happens while he's in control of the situation. In that respect, he was very good last night.

In other news, the Panthers are considering Stephan LeFors to replace Delhomme.

Hey Bass,This is probably B.S. but don't completely discount this. Mort has been saying this for almost two weeks and Peter King would've been doing everything in his power to check on the validity. Love or hate PK, he's plugged into Parcells (always has been) and likely went to the Cowboys after Mort started saying this to anyone who would listen, expecting to hear a denial. The fact he's now agreeing with Mort and doing so in an open forum tells me this isn't random speculation. These two guys don't both go out on an unconventional call like this without there being internal sources fueling that story. My $0.02

Exactly. I love how people here just discount guys like King because he's made stupid FF picks before.Guy is as tuned into what happens in the league as anybody out there. I'd listen up.

I'm listening up.

Post #27 in this thread is as solid as forecasting gets.

 

[bullitt]

If Parcells feels that his line can't protect the statuesque Bledsoe properly, I think you'll see him move to Romo out of necessity. Mobility and ability to throw on the run (initial findings look good on Romo there) might outweigh inexperience in this case.

I'll give ya props on this one too. I have to say, it is interesting going back and reading these post's, after seeing how it worked out.

How is he owned? Mort was saying back in mid-August that Romo may start and people were going ape####. Now, in late October Romo plays (not starts) and has less than stellar fantasy numbers.

 

[bullitt]

What confusing?

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

Your point. In mid-August Peter King was talking about the possibility of Romo starting. Now in late October this thread gets bumped.

 

[Bri]

this preseason babble bumped? Geesh QB controversy is like a mandatory thing for columnists to write about every preseason.

My point was giving props to Urinal Mint, for calling the exact scenario that would get Bledsoe pulled and Romo in the game. He gave a good explanation, of the only way he saw Romo playing this season, and he was dead nutz right about it.
