    Drew vs. Brady

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    Drew has one LA.  And (not that I like Drew) if it wasn't for him Brady wouldn't have two.

    You know what all the assinine fans in Boston are going to point out? Is that Drew almost blew the AFC championship game at Pitt... But, then he didn't.

     

    All the DB haters won't be happy till they run him out of the league and vindicate their own beliefs. There would be a lot of teams that would be happy to have him

     

    Like the stats say... He is as stable as a rock... He has got a lot of viable years left.

     

    I wonder if someone could do a comparison with him and Joe Ferguson?

    It was a lot of bad management combined with Ralph's instincts at that point to keep his wallet in his pocket. 

     

    Harvey Johnson may have been a sweetheart of a man but as player personnel director, just check out most of the drafts between 1964 - 1980.  Stew Barber was a great offensive tackle, but as a general manager, he didn't have a clue.  The only good coach we hired in the 60's and 70's, Lou Saban (twice) had a Rick Pitino type need to change jobs every few years.  Chuck Knox came in the late 70's and started to build something, but he wanted to sign every vet in the NFL as a back up and Ralph rebelled and Knox left. 

     

    It is why I am a little more patient with Donohoe and Modrak than some of the younger fans who only remember the glory years.  I have seen bad management, this is nowhere close to that.

    I agree to some extent.

     

    It always seemed like bad management... The only thing that was bad is that there weren't any SB's then SB wins...

     

    RW is a good businessman... By managing the purse strings tightly, he might have saved the AFL and helped (with of course many other factors) force a merger... I think it was brought up that he bought stock in the Raiders and loaned Sullivan (Pats) money to save their respective franchises... Back then (even the OJ negotiations) he seemd like a cheap ass and always took flak. It is easy to pick him a part but, if it wasn't for the early years and fiscal prudence... Who knows what would have happened to the Bills in Buffalo, AFL, league...Etc...?

    winning in spite of bledsoe again, i see

    Your saying we should be satisfied with mediocrity in the most important position on the team just because we are currently winning? Just have to remind you we still havent played a killer sked. I guess with your reasoning the Steelers of the 70s had a great team and D and really didnt need Bradshaw to dominate. I'll put it to you straight. For our sked the last couple months Drew is a servicable qb. Against the big boys he just isnt and hasnt cut it. I guess this is the same kind of Bills fan mentality that  thinks the Bills D of the Super Bowl years is legendary. I for one, am not a "hater" as some love to put it. I just want and expect better at that position. And I do want him run out of town.

    Unfortunately a mediocre QB that doesn't make mistakes wins SB's... Take a look. Mediocrity doesn't put up all time passing yards like he did... He is above mediocre.

     

    All I am saying why scrap stability for something that will surley fail RIGHT NOW (JP)... I said RIGHT NOW.

    Rudi Johnson has been able to run on us all that long. Hope the Steelers coaches are not seeing this game.

    They will adjust... That is what happens in the NFL... Look teams were going crazy on the run against the Bengals...

     

    Good teams/Bad teams too much parity in the league.

    I have always been a DB supporter... Even when it wasn't in vogue... EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT!

     

    Sure I poke fun at him... He is still the best thing that happened to the Bills. HE IS STABLE! (yes stable when he is bad too)... MOST TEAMS WOULD KILL TO HAVE HIM... EVEN when he was playing bad!

     

    I have never been apt to dump Him.

     

    When it is time, he should retire a BILL!
