There isn't a team in the NFL who can hold blitzing linebackers out of the backfield for long. You must make quick decisions and make the first guy miss to be successful. Bledsoe can't do it. I have a feeling Romo can do it but who knows until Bledsoe is out of the picture? The Cowboys will never go to the superbowl with Bledsoe. Never. Playoff teams will blitz the hell out of him time and time again. Oh, but we can blame it on the offensive line then too.

Exactly.
To further prove your point, note what happened during the Dallas corner blitz: the corner almost got to McNabb, but he evaded and got an extra 1.5 seconds. Thats all he needed for the 83-yard TD.
The difference in the game was that McNabb could routinely get an extra couple of seconds during a blitz, and Bledsoe could not.
