Next up was a matchup with the Giants on Monday Night Football. Jerry Jones: "Bill said, 'You want to start him? Let's start him. Bill Parcells: "Going into the season, I would definitely not be afraid to use Romo. They were close, and they were good friends.

I don't think he thought he would have to play Tony. Chris Palmer: "I was very close with Drew. We went to the Super Bowl with him in New England, and it's a hard decision, but you get paid to make that decision. Tony Romo: "The hardest part is you root for all your teammates and your guys, and it's a bad deal if you're playing.

Marcus Spears: "It was an interesting dynamic because you saw [that] Bill wanted Drew to still be the guy that he knew, but it was time to give this young pup a shot because it wasn't going well for Drew -- taking hits, throwing interceptions and having people question his arm talent.

Patrick Crayton: "He started getting a few more reps in practice. You could get a sense that it might be a changing of the guard. Bledsoe was in Year He's not here for the long haul. Tony Sparano: "Prior to the Giants game, we had just finished practice, a two-minute drill and a heck of a period -- and Tony did what he always did, and I remember talking to Bill about it. Jerry Jones: "To make a change, it's going to take an event.

It could be poor play, it could be injury, but it's going to take an event. Those things are real hard decisions to make just because of a preference, so to speak. Obviously, you had the energy weighing to his youth, and Tony's career was ahead of him. You really need something to give you a better reason.

Drew, as much as we thought about him, gave us the reason. Drew Bledsoe, Cowboys quarterback, "Just no benefit to me in talking about it. If I told the truth Drew Bledsoe led the Cowboys to a record in , and he opened the season as the unquestioned starter.

The Giants battered Bledsoe in the first half. They sacked him four times and intercepted his final pass. With the Cowboys trailing , Romo replaced him to start the second half. He never relinquished his spot. Tony Romo: "I was walking out of the hotel [before the game], and Bill said, 'You ready to go tonight? I was like, 'Yes, sir. Chris Palmer: "I'm upstairs, and Bledsoe does some things that were uncharacteristic of him, so I think, 'Oh, maybe he got hit in the head. Stay with me.

Patrick Crayton: "We were all like, I think he's getting ready to bench Bledsoe. He had such a horrible first half. Tony Sparano: "We were almost drawing straws at that point. Who was gonna talk to Bill, and who was gonna say it? Bill Parcells: "We were in the red zone, and we had a pattern directed to the right side only. We had a couple of options on the right side, and the third option was to throw the ball away. Drew decided to improvise on his own and decided to throw to Terry Glenn, and he wasn't in the read at all and Sam Madison intercepted it.

This is not going well. Patrick Crayton: "At halftime, the coaches go into Bill's office, and then they come out. He kept them in there the whole time. Chris Palmer: "We come down. I'm in the locker room, and Bill comes up and says, 'You still want to do that?

Jason Witten, Cowboys tight end, present: "We were sitting there in old Texas Stadium, and Chris Palmer walked through and said, 'Drew, you're down, and Tony, you're up. Bill Parcells: "[Drew] didn't handle it very well. What do you expect?

Tony Romo: "Obviously [a million different things are going through your mind], but you try to focus on the task at hand. Jerry Jones: "I didn't necessarily see it as a monumental event. We're getting ready to see what Tony can do. These things usually don't start off impressive. It wasn't that way with Aikman, and it didn't evolve that way with Romo.

Tony Sparano: "Tony's first pass was a naked [bootleg]. We rolled him out, somebody tipped the ball and it ended up in somebody else's hands. Tony Romo: "That whole half I played like a chicken with its head cut off. You're running. You're throwing.

You're making people miss. You're throwing between two people. You throw two touchdowns and three interceptions in a half. Romo's stat line against the Giants wasn't pretty -- he was of passing for yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions -- but he did enough to earn the permanent job.

Romo finished of for yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions, and the Cowboys lost After the game, Parcells told reporters he had to "think that over" when asked who would start in Week 8. Bledsoe, however, never played another snap in the NFL. Tony Romo: "It would be a lot easier if I didn't like Drew. I felt like it was tough for him. They pulled him pretty quickly in that season comparatively to someone of his stature and ability.

If you look at it now, it was a very bold and aggressive decision at the time. The reality is, if you didn't have a really good player behind him, I don't think that happens. Stephen Jones: "Jerry and I, truth be known, would've pushed to have him in there sooner, but we kind of had our deal with Bill on how things would work.

David Lee: "Bill called a staff meeting after the Giants game and said, 'I want to clear this quarterback thing up. What do you think, Bledsoe or Romo?

Marcus Spears: "We had a team meeting, and I think [Bill] actually cried. He talked about how much respect he had for Drew and how tough the decision was. On the flip side, he said we're rolling with Tony, and I need you guys to rally behind him. There are gonna be some bumps and bruises, but this is our guy. But it hit him hard, man, it hit him hard.

Tony Sparano: "Really, everybody just followed this guy [Romo]. There really is something special about this guy. Larry Lacewell: "The quarterback journey is a miserable son of a bitch. You're miserable when you're on that journey, and some of those teams have been on that journey forever and ain't found one yet.
