  1. This whole thing reminds me of when Romo came in for Bledsoe 

     

    2006 season

    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

    The only thing we will miss about Tyrod is his running ability. I definitely won't miss short passes to Tolbert on 3rd and long. Peterman playing bad will look like Tyrod's best passing day of his life

     

    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 

  3. 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

  4. 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

    Look it up for your own edification.

    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

    Let's just get this out of the way now: HE'S GOING TO THROW MORE INTERCEPTIONS THAN TYROD.

     

    I hope people are prepared for that. Hopefully, those turnovers are offset by more passing yards and touchdowns and better run game.

     

    I'm fine with more interceptions if it means more yards through the air and more tds. I can handle an interception every game.

    I’m trying to think of a single reason I would ever tune into WGR Monday-Saturday. Maybe if life was going too good and I needed to bring myself down.

     

    I do actually like the morning show. They're a little more balanced than schoop and bulldog
