Cowboys Circus Run Out of Town Again,..

[dandy2004]

I found this quote posted by a viewer on the CBS Sportline site to be LMAO funny: "I liked how you put it that a trained monkey or a backup QB could be trained to handle holding for field goals. Since Bledsoe was the starter at the beginning of the season, that would have made Romo the backup QB, and a person (or a trained monkey, depending on your view) worthy of being trained how to hold for field goals...Guess now we know what happens when the monkey is given control of the circus...the tent collapses and the monkey is left sitting on the ground on national TV crying because he couldn t live up to his billing...."

Perhaps Romo was annointed the Cowboys saviour much to quickly..haha

It's quite possible of course that Romo could very well turn out to be a solid consistent QB next year. He would have to still play aggressive but cut down on his recent string of fumles/INTs that were not issues of discussion at all in his first 5 games. While defences seem to have got better reads and pressured him into getting rid of the ball quicker as the season progressed (to his credit) he did not fold and quit. He did have his moments in the sloppy Lions game inspite of misreads and fumbles. And he threw no INTs against the Seahawks. But his timing and concentration needs some work. If I were Parcells I would have platooned Romo/Bledsoe. In games where Romo struggled at the end, perhaps maybe 2 games or so could have turned out be wins with a shift in monentum or a change just to shake things up. A team with Dallas' kind of talent should have found a way to finish at least 11-5 in my view. But of course games are not one and lost on paper. Suspect coaching, organization and mental discipline (eg. Owens spitting incident) all factored in how a promising 8-4 team could wind up winning only one of it's next 5 games....
