Need some advice - QB Issue

[Roncatto]

Ok,

I'm 5-3 with the Cowboys, but mainly because the defense is playing well.

Romo is struggling. Hes thrown only 10 TD and 11 INT. 76.4 QBR.

Now in a road game against the Falcons, Romo went down early. Orton game in and lit it up. 145 QBR with 2 TD and 70% completion.

I'm only 1 game behind the Giants 6-2, so chance of playoffs.

Do I stick with Romo and hope he snaps out of it, or throw in Hot Orton.

Do I trade Romo at the end of the year? Draft QB?

Thoughts?

Put Orton in because you know Romo will choke in the playoffs.

Maybe you got better timing with Neckbeard or maybe it's just a fluke. Since Romo not doing that great just keep Neckbeard in and if it's just a fluke then, if he continues to light it up then just move Romo if he's not working out for you.

dumb question -- are you a fan of Romo and do you want him to play well?

The reason I ask is because sometimes in sports games when we control a player we want to do well with we overthink and force things. Its possible that with Orton you are just making throws instead of trying to be MVP.

It sounds odd but I sometimes do that. Don't know if others do as well though

Nope i'm a Falcons fan and have no real feelings towards either. Just set myself a challenge of trying to get the Lombardi trophy back to Dallas before Jerry Jones pops it

Yeah I figured it was a long shot.

Like someone else said it may be that your timing is just better with Orton.

Tough situation. My instinct would be try Orton for one more game and see how it pans out, if he lights it up again, keep him on. If not, go back to Romo.

Trade for draft picks. That's all Madden is about these days.
