QB Change in Big D?

Peter King just reported in his halftime segment during the Sunday Night game on NBC that it's possible that Bill Parcells could replace Drew Bledsoe with Tony Romo as the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys.

King noted that Romo is yet to throw a pass in an NFL game, but Dallas loved his accuracy, mobility and leadership qualities.

He's accurate onpasses he hasn't thrown yet?
He's showed leadership abilities, despite not playing a second of an NFL game?

With issues where there's smoke (Romo did play the entire pre-season game in Seattle), there's not necessarily fire. And I think this is a prime example of that.

Dallas has a legitimate opportunity to win the NFC East. If Terrell Owens ever decides he wants to be an NFL football player and stops babying his hamstring and practices, this is a team that could go deep into the NFC playoffs. Going with an untested, unproven QB, whose never played in an NFL game, would virtually guarantee a non-playoff season in Dallas.
