    Tony Romo to Start for Cowboys on Sunday

    [​IMG]

    Tony Romo is now the first-string quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, and will make his first career start Sunday night at Carolina.

    Coach Bill Parcells said Wednesday that Romo, who replaced 14-year veteran Drew Bledsoe in the second half of Monday night's 36-22 loss to the New York Giants, will start.

    "Any time you do something like this, it's not without a lot of consideration," Parcells said. "I've been thinking about it for some time. ... Hopefully, maybe as the team is comprised right now, he might be able to do a couple of things that assist us."

    Neither Bledsoe nor Romo appeared in the Cowboys locker room Wednesday.

    Romo, a fourth-year pro who had never thrown a pass in a game until this season, will be the ninth different starting quarterback for the Cowboys since Hall of Famer Troy Aikman retired after the 2001 season.

    Bledsoe joined Parcells in Dallas before the 2005 season, reuniting with the coach who made him the No. 1 pick in 1993 for the New England Patriots.

    His last pass Monday night was an interception at the goal line just before halftime when the Cowboys had a chance to take the lead. Bledsoe had already been sacked four times, once for a safety.

    Romo was intercepted on his first pass, on a ball tipped by Michael Strahan and caught by Antonio Pierce. He threw two more interceptions, one returned 96 yards for a touchdown.

    "He's got to be more careful with the ball than he was the other night," Parcells said.

    But Romo also showed he could be effective. He scrambled and completed 14 of 25 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns, and flashed more footwork running for a 2-point conversion.

    summary:

    regretful that he sucks and romo get to start

    he's not resigning, yet...

    extremely dissapointed that he's no longer starting

    says he'll be ready if he's called upon

    was suprised to get yanked at halftime, chris palmer (qb coach) told him

    thinks he gives the cowboys the best chance to win

    :D:D:D

    Prediction:

    Carolina will spank Dallas like a redheaded stepchild on Sunday, making Bill Parcell's decision not to return next year that much easier.

    This could happen as you state but I also know this is the same secondary that allowed Steve Smith only 1 catch for 18 yards last season in the Cowboys 24 - 20 win. This tells me that they have the ability to slow the man-child down but they do have to get in together becuase so far they have allowed some big plays.

    As far as Romo, I am exicted about the move. Everyone has written off the Cowboys so now maybe the can play loose and up to their potentail as it appears that some of the pressure has been taken off.

    Go Cowboys.

    last year kieth davis was playing safety instead of rookie pat watkins....

    then again the no coverage sooner roy williams was letting up huge passes last year as he is this year, so maybe they're due for a good game.
