Tony Romo takes Drew Bledsoe’s job
Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells has announced that backup QB Tony Romo will start in place of Drew Bledsoe this Sunday against the Panthers. Bledsoe was benched Monday after throwing an end-zone interception just before halftime, while Romo not only threw an interception on his first pass, but threw 2 more in the half.
Just a few days ago, Romo went on record as saying Bledsoe - who is notorious for giving the cold shoulder to his competition - has barely spoken with him.
So basically, Bill Parcells thought it was a good idea to replace a guy who threw a 58% completion rate because of 1 interception with a guy who went on to throw 3. In the second half. And he thinks Romo gives them a better chance to win for the rest of the season. By that math, shouldn’t Ryan Leaf have led them to the Super Bowl?
