ROMO??? Why not JC???

[TheBigD]

FIRST, I want to say that I am not sold on Romo being that great, I am not saying that he will be playing in the pro-bowl (so if you do have a bad comment about his play save it to yourself, I am talking about QB changes here), but here what I do see, he did OK against a good D.

This is intersting since Dallas has to play Washington next Sunday. This reassures me that Jason Campbell would actually do better than MB. If not, then you will know little more about your QB of the future and if you might have to draft another one.

I mean in the preseason JC would play in the 3rd or 4th quarter against the 2nd or 3rd Defense and he still didn't look like he could play that well.

The otehr thing is the play-calling, I was watching Redskins pregame on Fox5 and they were talking about how AS is not the one calling the plays, I mean he is calling them but with restrictions. They were saying that they plays the Redskins are running right now are very similar to the ones last year. They said the Gibbs is not letting AS open-up his play-book.

I have to be honest that I was not looking forward to the game next Sunday, but now it will be worth watching, who knows any given sunday a team could win. I am not saying that Dallas will win but hey at least it LOOKS LIKE we have a shot at a chance. Meanwhile, the G-wimps will have an easy game against the Texans, I hate them just as much as you guys do.

I think changes are good sometimes regardless of the position and I think JC deserves a shot. Look at Leinart now or remeber Roethlisberger when he was a rookie, Chris Simms did OK, Delhome did OK, Jason Campbell should be a starter.

Not to say that Romo didn't play well, but if I'm Gregg Williams and I need to save the season, I'm thanking the football gods that I get to face Tony Romo and not Drew Bledsoe next week. Williams' defense hasn't confused anyone this year, and with Romo who is still very green, he gets another shot.

Jason Campbell will not make his first start against a division rival. He may play some in relief this week, but only if the situation appears dire.

sucks to say, but i thought Romo looked fantastic for his first start. fresh legs, fresh arm and fresh eyes. he scrambled for firsts, threw on the move, and used the entire field.

unlike Brunell and Bledsoe, he'd lock on to his receiver right after the drop (as Madden also astutely noted), and would gun it to his primary option in tight spaces. the result was T.O.'s best game ever as a Cowboy.

if Moss and Cooley caught as many in a game as T.O. and Whitten did tonight, we'd have a very different record, even with our beleagured defense.

i agree Gibbs won't start him next week, but how much *more* dire is dire enough?

why does AL Saunders continue to get a free pass? everyone looking for every reason in the world on why this offense is clicking. how about utilizing the players that we have, and not the ones we don't have. and our play calling has left alittle to be desired. i know for a fact that they ran the ball in Kansas city

I can say this. If the Cowboys go up by a couple of touchdowns or we have any problems scoring at all, I would hate to be Mark Brunell. FedEx will be getting ugly fast and calling for Brunell's head (even if it's our defenses fault).

[Twilbert07]

Romo provides a spark to the Cowboys in a way Brunell never could for the Skins (other than one game last year). That said, I hope Tony falls flat on his face Sunday. It's Dallas Week!

[RiggoRules]

Romo scares me far more than Bledoe. Just as Campbell should scare the Cowboys far more than Brunell.

Campbell and Romo are very similiar -- Campbell just has a better arm.

Look at Gibbs avatars. Thats the way he looks all game long. No passion no concern no urgency no excitement no interest no winning record. This is why will not see JC.

So what you're saying is that Gibbs couldn't care less about what's happening. That he puts forth no effort into this organization. That he'd rather be at home watching reruns of The Cosby Show...

Not at all...Im sure he cares but as a fan Id like to see more emotion. As im sure we all would. And Id say its a safe bet the players would too. The fought the guts out thing is old. Look at other coaches when a player F____ up. They get in their faces,stomp,throw things. Im not saying acting like an ass on the sideline would work but if Gibbs went postal a few times maybe the team would try harder. Hell im grasping for straws I know but just like any skin fan thats what we have to do.

What will more emotion from Gibbs accomplish other than making you feel better? You're basically asking him to be something he's not. He's always been stone faced in times of success or failure. That's just how he is, always even keeled.

He wasnt stone faced when we beat dallas last year. I thought he was gonna shit himself. I just dont see why so many people are defending EVERY thing he does. Im not gonna go into things that have been discussed a 1000 times but its tempting. Well one thing. If it aint broke dont fix it. Al Saunders.

Sure but that was a rare moment and very deserving of a celebration.

I'm not trying to defend everything he does, I'm just trying to figure out what stomping about or getting in players' faces will accomplish. You're the one that threw that out there, so I'd just like to hear some rationale behind it.

I dont guess it is rational. It would just be a change. Being calm all the time and bragging on players when they suck isnt working. So why not go ape shit a few times. Like I said Im just fishing in the dark.
