Times Dispatch - Redskins' QB Watches Parcells Move Pay Off

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -- Washington Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell stayed up to watch the whole game Sunday night when Tony Romo won as a first-time starter for the Dallas Cowboys.
"He kept his composure, played with a lot of poise," Campbell said Monday. "It's something you have to do when your first time comes."
Campbell did his best not to sound envious, but he is still waiting for his first time. And with the Cowboys coming to town this week, the debate over when that should happen will only intensify.
Romo's performance in the Cowboys' 35-14 victory at Carolina was vindication for Dallas coach Bill Parcells' decision to bench 30-something Drew Bledsoe and give an untested youngster a shot at energizing an inconsistent offense.

What bothers me about this, is you'd think that the way the Panthers played, the Cowboys would have STILL won even if Bledsoe was QB. Romo only had one touchdown.

Yeah, I'd agree with this statement, and Brunell has been so much better than Bledsoe this year it's not even funny.

Romo v Campbell is a rivalry that will begin next season.

Career-wise, Bledsoe is beyond the grave, while Brunell has a foot in it. The Cowboys needed that spark, and are fortunate that Tony Romo is the answer. I guess we'll see whether Brunell is really ready to go Sunday and take this offense to a level that really hasn't been seen yet this season.

It wasn't like Romo was making "money" throws. He overthrew and underthrew people a LOT. The Panthers played a piss-poor game.

I believe if the defense gets some stops and decent field position, our PPG will skyrocket in the second half of the year. We move the ball well and our redzone O isn't bad. We just always have poor field position and our TOP is low.

So one could argue that Brunell's "performance" is tied to that of his defense.

I wouldn't.

And thank God our QB's name doesn't rhyme with Homo.

judge romo after he plays a few more solid games, not just one, especially after how bad he was on his debut

Good or Carolina played pretty damn bad? He missed a lot of open guys. Carolina just GAVE them that game on a silver platter.

Does any one else think he scrambles too quickly? I know that's something younger QBs tend to do, but I'm going to find it really funny when Marcus Washington KOs him a yard past the line of scrimmage on Sunday.

he looked good scrambling for some key first downs, but more importantly, when he did pass, he'd acquire his downfield target and fire it to them right after the drop.

something sorely missing from "pat the ball and wait for the rush" Brunell, Bledsoe and even Ramsey back in the day. it's called attacking a defense, instead of being dictated to by them.

TheMalcolmConnection · 11-01-2006, 02:19 PM

Marcus hell. I want Sean Taylor to give him a welcome to the NFL. And honestly, I'll TAKE a penalty if Sean shows him what's up for at least ONE hit this game.
