They brought in Bledsoe and Romo continued to beat out Henson for the #2 despite Henson having a big contract...and before the final year Henson started the extended Romo before the season started because they knew he was going to unseat Bledsoe and wanted him to play for cheap the next two years so they could evaluate him.
Payton picked out Romo from the combine QB's that weren't even invites...just there to throw some passes. I wish we had an eye for talent at that position like Sean Payton.
(Didn't hurt that Payton was a stud QB at EIU...just like Romo...) |
Romo sat on the bench for 3 and half years. Bill Parcells said that if Romo had been forced to play his first year, he'd be long out of the league.
Period.
