  1. This whole thing reminds me of when Romo came in for Bledsoe 2006 season Romo during the 2006 preseason Romo began the season as a backup to starter Drew Bledsoe. He took his first regular season snap at quarterback in a home game against the Houston Texans on October 15. His first NFL pass was a 33-yard completion to wide receiver Sam Hurd. His only other pass of the game was a two-yard touchdown pass, his first in the NFL, to wide receiver Terrell Owens.[18] One week later on October 23, 2006, Romo replaced Bledsoe for the start of the second half of a game against the New York Giants. His first pass was tipped and intercepted. His game stats in only his second NFL appearance were 14 completions on 25 attempts for 227 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions (one of which was returned for a touchdown). On October 25, Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells announced that Romo would be the Cowboys starting quarterback for the October 29 game against the Carolina Panthers on NBC Sunday Night Football, in Week 8 of the 2006 season. Romo led the Cowboys to victory in his first game as a starter, 35–14. In that game, Romo was Sunday Night Football's "Rock Star of the Game." On November 19, 2006, Romo led the Cowboys past the Indianapolis Colts, the NFL's last unbeaten team. He completed 19 of 23 passes as the Cowboys won against the Colts 21–14. Four days later he helped the Cowboys win in a Thanksgiving Day gameagainst the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by the score of 38–10. Romo went 22-29 with 306 yards and five touchdown passes and no interceptions.[19] For his performance, he was awarded FOX's Galloping Gobbler award as the Thanksgiving Day MVP. Romo aided the Cowboys in clinching a playoff spot, their second since Parcells became coach in 2003. He concluded the 2006 regular season with 220 completions on 337 pass attempts for 2,903 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions, with a passer rating of 95.1. The Cowboys played the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Wild Card playoff round on January 6, 2007. With the Cowboys trailing 21–20 on fourth-and-one with 1:19 left in the game, the Cowboys attempted a 19-yard field goal. Romo, the holder for the kick, fumbled the snap. He recovered the ball and attempted to run it in, but was tackled short of the first down marker, and turned the ball over on the Seattle 2-yard line. The Cowboys went on to lose the game.[20] Romo finished the 2006 season ranked seventh in the NFC in passing yards (2,903) and touchdown passes (19). Romo played in the 2007 Pro Bowl after Drew Brees went down with an elbow injury as a substitution for Marc Bulger. He threw one touchdown and one interception, and was the NFC's kickoff holder in the game
  2. This will never happen. This is the equivalent of Milton being told to move to the basement in office space
  3. If you watch any of Peterman's college highlights, he's actually a very good runner. He's definitely not that athlete Tyrod is, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Peterman get some first downs on his feet
  4. For me, I need more than one game, but it'd no doubt be disappointing.
  5. It is a little annoying, but it's kinda cool you can see the recievers run their routes
  6. Very stupid theory by vic. Tyrod has not been good at all this year. He's had some moments but that's about it. He's very consistent at being inconsistent. Even in our wins Tyrod has not looked very good. Oddly, tyrods best looking game (Imo) was against the jets 2 weeks ago. He handled pressure very well and threw for a good amount of yards. But then threw for 57 yards last week. Tyrod just isn't the guy. It's very easy to see. Simple as that
  7. Schoop is unlistenable these last few days. He sounds kind of like a miserable person in general, but since they announced they were starting Peterman, he sounds like his wife just left him
  8. Losman had a "strong" arm according to experts. How'd that work out? Yes he has some beautiful deep throws, but he needed much more than that to be successful
  9. This is just my opinion, but to me arm strength is the absolute dumbest argument to be made against a qb. For one, even the strongest qbs in the NFL over throw or under throw recievers at times. Does t matter who the qb is, they've done it. Two, unless a qb is trying to throw it 75 yards, this argument is void. Fitzpatrick was known to have a weak arm, but could still throw it 50 yards if necessary (I seem to remember Stevie Johnson making a crucial drop on a 50 yard bomb) Lastly, I don't know if I ever seen a qb in the NFL that couldn't throw the ball 20 yards or less. Which is the average pass by a qb. Not every throw made by a qb is a deep shot, home run throw. Just my opinion, but the whole arm strength argument is so over blown
  10. I'm pretty confident at least Tyrod knew something Sunday after the game (see my post "did anyone watch tyrods post game presser"). I wonder if he(Tyrod) was given a short leash after the jets game. Who knows. Maybe he just saw the writing on the wall
  11. I hate mike schoop lately, but I do tend to agree with him a bit when he said this was their plan all along. And I'm totally fine with that. Taylor is what he is
  12. As I suspected, alot of rush yards in those games. Eagles put up over 200 yards rushing. All the other games you mentioned had 120 yards or more rushing. I'm not in anyway overlooking the Chargers. I think they're much better than their record indicates. But the passing yards against them could be a little deceiving
  13. I think it was Rex if anyone. That dude loved to talk and I think he loves drama to a degree
  14. Alot of what the national media said is the same as what they always say/do. One guy thinks it's a bad move, the next guy thinks it's a great move blah blah. It's almost like they just script who's gonna argue one way and who will argue the other way.
  15. Because their is some coach out there that will see his td to interception ratio and think they can make him a great qb. And for his sake, I hope they can.
  16. This whole situation reminds me of when the cowboys benched Bledsoe for Romo. A veteran who had already reached his potential and a guy who'd never started a game. I realize comparing Bledsoe to Tyrod and Peterman to Romo is apples and oranges, but it just reminds me of that. Cowboys wernt out of the playoffs at that point either
  17. I'm fine with more interceptions if it means more yards through the air and more tds. I can handle an interception every game.
  18. I'm gonna be overly optimistic and say 275 with two tds and 1 interception. I realize this is a bit unrealistic, but also think he will take some deep shots and connect, which will pad his numbers a bit.
  19. I do actually like the morning show. They're a little more balanced than schoop and bulldog
  20. They're all haters until Peterman plays good and then they'll praise the bills and say "I agree with this decision"
  21. Yes, what did he say for those of us who wernt listening
  22. How did he incite racism? I wasn't listening
