QB debuts against the Panthers over the years

[Montsta]

Just as it's a widely accepted truth that Peppers used to always get owned by rookie offensive tackles, it seems to also be an accepted truth that quarterbacks making their first start fair well against our team. Because this is a pretty particular thing to try and google to find out, I was hoping I could pick everyones brain for how rookie or first time QB's have actually faired against our team. I realize this is not Beck's first start on Sunday, but it has been a while since he has been a starter so I thought it might be an interesting topic for discussion regardless. I may just be drunk, but didn't Tony Romo start his first game againt us once upon a time?

Kevin Kolb and Blaine Gabbert didn't look very good this season.

All three of their TD passes were just LOL plays by our defense.

Tony Romo

Romo began the season as a backup to starter Drew Bledsoe. He took his first regular season snap at quarterback in a home game against the Houston Texans on October 15. His first NFL pass was a 33 yard completion to Sam Hurd. His only other pass of the game was a two-yard touchdown pass, his first in the NFL, to Terrell Owens.[11]

One week later on October 23, 2006, Romo replaced Drew Bledsoe for the start of the second half of a game against the New York Giants. His first pass was tipped and intercepted. His game stats in only his second NFL appearance were: 14 completions on 25 attempts for 227 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions (one of which was returned for a touchdown). Two days later, on October 25, Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells announced that Romo would be the Cowboys starting quarterback for the October 29 game against the Carolina Panthers on NBC Sunday Night Football, in Week 8 of the 2006 season. Romo led the Cowboys to victory in his first game as a starter, 35–14. In that game, Romo was Sunday Night Football's "Rock Star of the Game."

I remember Gus Frerotte for the Vikings in 2008 lighting us up... Threw for over 200yrds.. That was also the game with the infamous Gamble, Marshall, lateral toss.

I seem to recall that this is an issue as well. When we face a new starting QB we tend to have a hard time.

[Panthro]

Yeah I don't think it's first career starts as much as it is getting beat by backups

Not to nitpick, but I think that lateral toss disaster was when we played them in the second week of 2006. Smith had the bad hammy, and we had Keshawn that year. Remember, shortly after we botched that lateral, was when the Vikings faked a field goal and threw a TD? Peppers was a beast that game, all over Brad Johnson. We had them beat until that stupid call by our former head coach.

I don't think Gamble was doing punt returns in 2008.

We are 1-0 against qb's making their first start this year. Thats all that matters.

Hopefully 2-0 after this weekend. :)
