Re: Romo replacing Bledsoe

I would rather find out what Jason Campbell can do. I've seen enough of Brunnel and I'm tired of Dr. Dumpingstein. I would rather see Campbell go through the growing process than see a totally pathetic excuse for a quarterback who can't throw the ball 20 yards downfield. I'm such a diehard fan, I continue to watch despite hating every minute of it.

Re: Romo replacing Bledsoe

Not a good feeling today.

As to Bledsoe, I think he will retire rather than serve out the season as a backup.

I think there is no way he starts again this year barring injury.


Romo took a few snaps with the first team this week in practice and Terry Glenn said some people were told to get ready - for a QB change - just in case.

Romo looked good in stretches and really idiotic in others. He has been around for four years so he really needs to look a little better than a three int performance - ok two tipped but the third was horrid. Horrid!!

The team did get a spark from the change. I imagine the same from Washington if Brunell gets pulled.

We will see if Romo can behave like a QB next week, cause I don't think there is anyway that Bledsoe starts.

Re: Romo replacing Bledsoe

QB changes to a rookie QB, mid season, are not legendary for their success rate. Then there was......................Clint Longley

Brunell can still scramble and pass accurately. Bledsoe is like a giant statue, a colorblind statue.

Brunell = 90.4 QB rating (ranked 11th in NFL), 7TDs, 3 INTs, 1465 yards
Bledsoe = 69.2 QB rating (ranked 28th in NFL), 7 TDs, 8 INTs, 1164 yards, 1 lost fumble


Care to repeat what you said before? Both QBs have the same number of TD passes...only Bledsoe has 5 more picks and a lost fumble. The two can't be compared. Brunell is playing well. Bledsoe was one of the WORST QBs in the NFL.

Brunell is not a problem for the Skins. He's doing everything Saunders has asked him to and is playing well. However, the major problem is Saunders' playcalling...constant screens and dump-off passes for a few yards. Brunell proves he can still throw deep (68 yards to Moss against Jags, 52 yards to Lloyd against Titans) when ASKED to. They're not asking him though. Even in the ugly Colts game this week, Brunell was scrambling out of trouble a LOT, saving big losses and even turning them into nice passes to Cooley. He can still play...they're just not asking him too.

The Skins MAIN problem is their defense, it's been decimated by injuries this year.

I wouldn't complain if we started the Campbell era this year, but it wouldn't be because Brunell hasn't performed. If they make the change and keep the crappy playcalling, Campbell won't help the Skins win any more than Brunell.

I can't understand what happened to Al Saunders' "amazing" offensive schemes from the Chiefs. It's like he forgot to bring his playbook from his old office.

Honestly...the Raiders should try to make a deal for Drew. He'd actually be an upgrade. Andrew Walter has the same number of picks as Bledsoe, but in fewer games. That's the only team Bledsoe could start for in the NFL...anywhere else, he'll be a backup or even a 3rd-stringer. Now 2 of his three teams have given up on him...if this Romo experiment is for the rest of the season.

That's a "totally pathetic" statement. If Brunell was choosing the plays to run, you might have a point.

no just the fact that they made a QB change. this will be better for dallas in the long run, as it would if we made the change.

Time will tell. I think Parcells really screwed this one up though. I think Jerry Jones thinks the same thing. This is probably the beginning of the end for Parcells if you ask me.
