There were definitely some plays yesterday where he kept his feet where there's no doubt Bledsoe would have folded. :thumbsup:

Another blown opportunity by the Cowboys to close out a win.

were you sold on him after the Washington game? Will he be able to be that productive against a good team? Arizonia is pretty lackluster. One week everyone will hate him the next everyone will love him. All depends on how they finish each week. I predict the Boys go 8-8 and make tee times early again this winter.

TO dropped a 70 yard td pass in that game as well. With little time left in the game he drove his team into field goal range only to have it blocked. What else is he supposed to do? Go out and beat up the stupid ref that called a personal foul on that facemask penalty?

He was playing Washington. The only good team he has faced is Carolina, and he did ok against them. They have Indy, Tampa, NYG, New Orleans, Atlanta, and Philly all next, we will see how well he does against them.

Romo is 2nd (behind Peyton Manning) in QB rating.

Carolina's defense in 9th against the pass and Romo threw for 270 against them with 1 TD and 1 Int. (not great, but pretty darn good)

I just wish they would start playing better from the start of football games. No more of this not scoring in the first quarter stuff.

I am having so much fun watching the Cowboys now! It's also nice to see Romo, having FUN playing the game, you just see his big smile. I think he is doing an excellent job, for the Cowboys.

On a side note, it was sad to hear about Ellis, he had been doing great, at his new position, for it to end just like that. I hope he has a full recovery and comes back next season.

Me too, and I also agree with you on the chances gone up for the playoffs, with Romo at the helm.

Cardinals or not, on one play he broke the tackles of 2 defensive linemen then threw a long completion. Something Bledsoe could never do.

Bledsoe fell over in the wake of linemen... he couldn't scramble an egg...

ROMO scrambles eggs better than IHOP and doesn't fall down like a puss...

Romo at times has appear to rush some passes and throw them short and with that he still playing great, few more games under his belt and he will be hard to stop. Cowboys have outscored the Colts 250 to 249 and the Colts are clicking on all cylinders lol.

I know that this isn't really being debated here but the in the argument of who is better, Romo or Bledsoe, everyone is looking at the wrong part. I don't think Romo is a better QB but I think he is the better QB for the Cowboys because their O-Line is awful and Romo can move. If their O-line was as good as the Cowboy lines of yore then this wouldn't even be a debate. Take for example Emmit Smith, is he the best RB to ever play the game?? NO, but he did have the best O-line assembled in the NFL and thats why he is the all time leading rusher. Anyone disagree?

look at how when Dallas won with bledsoe they were blowouts because of no pressure and had time to throw and when he gets some time he tear up a defense.But and a Big But if any little pressure he crumbles which is a indication that time has pass him by.

Sure, the Cowboys Oline isn't the greatest, but these days the OLINE's and defenses are more evenly matched than they were let's say 10 years ago.. basically in this day and age you need a more mobile QB, one who doesn't throw in the towel at the first site of things going wrong... that's this day and age... in this day and age Romo is the better decision...

Emmit Smith is the all time leading rusher only because Barry Sanders pulled his stunt. If Barry had finished his career out playing the last 5 or 6 years he would be a long way past Smith.

Ya, that is what I was saying. Smith wasn't the best RB ever just had the best line.

Barry Sanders, his initials are BS and thats all that talk is. you cant say if barry sanders this or that. Well, what if shaun alexander had every year like he did last year? he didnt, he got hurt. who knows what happens to a running back. Smith was durable, tough, and arguably the best runner in the history of the NFL. you can say what you want, but you cant dispute the facts

Tony Romo is a breath of fresh air for the Cowboy's! It's about time the Cowboy's use a young Q.B. to run thier offence. Tony reminds me a little of Brett Farve in his style of Q.B.

All you have to do is listen to Emmit in his interviews. He himself says that if Barry Sanders hadn't retired everyone would be chasing Barry and not Emmit.

Kind of funny that BEFORe Emmit became the stud RB 3 starters in that great line were Nate Newton who was considered to fat and slow before Emmit..Pro Bowl after....Mark Stepnoski before Emmit..to small to be a center..after Emmit Pro Bowl...Mark Tunei before Emmit...a converted DL who was a project..after Emmit a Pro Bowler

IMO Emmit was as good for the line as the line was as good for him

All of these what ifs...Well you know what, Barry Sanders didnt rush for over 18,000 yards. It doesnt matter what he could have done, he didnt. I couldve caught that ball...I mean if I would have been in...if I hadnt gotten hurt...if I wouldn't have called it quits...IF doesnt matter. Emmit went out and got it done, and he did it with class as well. I will say, though, I see him as second on my list, behind Earl Campbell. Earl Campbell was just amazing. He had no line. And as for Emmits line, look at what txbroadcaster said...proves the point that Emmit helped his line out.
