too bad you can't promise the same for your fantasy team

None of that poor performance has anything to do with Drew. It's not his fault.

depends when they park Drew on the bench

Rob would be an improvement over Drew because he had escapability and he ocassionally did hit a big play.

Don't agree about the OL. QBs can throw the ball 20 yards downfield with a 3 step drop, which would negzate the pass rush. It's just that ours can't, because he has to wait until he sees the WR has 5 yards of separation - which isn't too often.

many would disagree and treat the benching as a ray of hope for THIS year.

quite the return on that $8.75 mil investment. could have bought an OL or two instead.

it is not Drew's fault that he is slow, has no pocket awareness and no confidence in his own ability.

from Drew's perspective, the Bills don't have "open" receivers very often becasuse they don't have 5 yards of seperation from the DB so Drew doesn't feef comfortable attempting the pass. NFL QBs need to throw the ball on the WRs break, not wait for coverage breakdowns. The opportunities are there, but our QB is incapable of even attempting to make a play.

Drew is done. He is not capable of starting for any NFL team that wants to win. Parcells hates turnovers, he will not tolerate a QB that kills drives with sacks and picks. Besides that - Drew Henson is a better QB right now than Bledsoe is.

for as effective as the passing game has been, they could go to the single wing with both Willis and Travis on the field and no QB. Marv ran it with the Chiefs, so it has been used before. Even Moulds looked good getting out of the pocket on his direct snap

and they didn't inflate those stats by playing the Bills offense. they have not allowed an offensive TD either

TD should have canned Gilbride at the bye and GW too if he refused to do it. By not taking any action, TD tanked teh season. It looks like this season may be going the same direction with the offene severely limited by our QB. Bye week is here - time to bench Drew and remove the cancer. Let Matthews play until Losman returns. Matthews can not produce any worse than Bledsoe

Mike just knows that with Drew at QB for the Bills, the Pats have one in the win column! B)

what was up with calling a TO with 10 seconds before the end of the 3rd quarter. Was that MM or Drew being confused? They could have just let the quarter run out and gotten a TV timeout. After the time out, they didn't even get the play off before the quarter ended.

since Drew has such a big arm, maybe they should let him stand 15 yards behind the line to give him more time. It seemed to work for Moorman.

Miami is no pushover. Their d has not allowed an offensive TD so far and their QB can actually throw the ball. However, their OL is much worse than the Bills. Wins over the Dolphins are not a sure thing.

the trade was a good move at the time. The real crime was extending Drew's contract and paying him $8.75 mil for 2004, after experiencing his ineptness firsthand. On top of that, TD then used 3 draft picks to acquire another QB. Why spend all that money on a short term, at best, answer at QB? That money should have gone to improving the OL.

maybe MM will put in Shane Matthews to play the RJ role, becuase it sure isn't going to be Drew producing against a Belicek defense.

Fortunately our O has been dumbed down to rookie level already to accomodate our Hall of Fame QB, so JP shouldn't have a problem running it.

maybe if TD used some of that $8.75 mil he paid to Drew on OL reinforcements, the OL would be better at run and pass blocking for a cheaper QB with some mobility.

unfortunately TD relied on your unwavering support in the offseason to extend Drew's contract use almost $9 mil in cash on a non-productive QB instead of on much needed OL improvements. thanks for your support.

Lack of talent on the OL is a direct result of paying Drew $8.75 mil in 2004 plus more in the future, instead of using that cash to acquire stud OL. Could have used that money to make a play for Pace or Tait or lower priced guards that could play.

try Shane Matthews. You're right that it would be almost impossible for him to produce less than Drew.

he couldn't make them last year either. that $8.75 mil sure looks like money well spent.
