The stage is set for a switch

IRVING - Anybody listening closely heard Coach Tuna set the stage for Drew Bledsoe to be fired as QB if things do not improve and quickly.
He did not say this, or really anything close Monday.
Coach Tuna actually shot me a Jedi death stare when I asked if he had considered switching QBs after Bledsoe's three-interception performance in a loss to Philly.
"No," he snapped. "Not right at this moment. No."
His answer to "why not?" was equally adamant and loaded with disclaimers.
"Because I don't think that's the answer right this minute," he said.
What separated Coach Tuna's definitive debunking of QBC 3.0 from QBC-Bledsoe 2.0 and QBC-Vinny 1.0 was how he answered my final question.
What, if anything, do you say to Bledsoe about his turnover malfunctions?
"We absolutely have to make protecting the football our No. 1 priority," Parcells said. "We're doing everything else -- we're scoring points, we're fourth or fifth in rushing, we got time of possession, we're converting third downs, we're moving the ball....
"So protecting the ball is the primary thing we have to do. Until we do that, we're not going to be very good."
What he said, without exactly saying it, was the only thing keeping the Cowboys from becoming a playoff contender is turnovers. And who is the main turner-over? Bledsoe, of course.
So either his QB needs to start taking better care of the ball or he will not be his QB. The stage has been set. The next move belongs to Bledsoe.
Just wondering: Why is it, if FOB reports from training camp of Coach Tuna's love affair with Tony Romo were true, did Parcells not make a change already?
Go sell stupid elsewhere: For all of you T.O. enablers who are selling he said nothing with his "Who's pulling the trigger?" rant in Philly, explain what his not-so-cryptic hints about anybody who saw the game knows who to blame were about.
I sent her some emails indicating that she may be brain-damaged for coming out with her rant that it was TO's fault that we lost. I forwarded her some information making it clear that most people with that attitude were in fact brain-damaged. I will have to catch up with my email to see if she responded... At least Galloway had it pegged for a change.
New campaign: Hire Joe Torre.
Just wondering, Part II: What QB do Deion Sanders and Michael Irvin believe is good enough for T.O.?
Speaking of, the LBOH just-shut-up award goes to ... : Deion. Not unlike Irvin opining T.O. deserved a real QB like Brett Favre rather than Donovan McNabb a year ago, Deion spewed "Bench Bledsoe" to his NFL Network buddies.
That's an ender: Mark me down as believing Bledsoe bounces back and leads this Cowboys team to a playoff berth.
