Ray Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 He's doing the one thing Brady said he could do better than Bledsoe--work/prepare harder. I like the fact he is there first. Earns the respect of his teammates and especially the veterans. Much easier to work out at home in Venice Beach, but not nearly as productive. He needs SOOOOO much preparation and coaching, but glad he took the first step. Kudos to JP for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda of believe Mularkey was on the phone about one week ago to JPL and said:" Son you got two choices, be the first one in and compete for the job or come in when your ready and back up DB. What is it going to be?" It does make a difference you know. Doing something at the point of a bayonet is slightly different than doing something on your own accord.

Even TD agrees with us Drew Bashers that Drew cannot get it done. And the 3 ring SB Pats would probably agree with us, too. So there you go. The opinion of 2 pro football organizations (not to mention some of the other 30 like the Arizona Cards who want nothing to do with Bledsoe) against that of you, njsue, and a few other delusional Bills fans. Now njsue and a few others will argue that Drew can lead us to the promised land if he just has a better LT, LG, C, TE, and WR. But these certain people are obviously unaware of the salary cap. That's not possible, without also having to sacrifice our #2 D in the years ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact of the matter is, with one less mistake by NC, TH, CV, DB, EM, etc, etc, we would've been in the playoffs. To think that ANY QB would've done as well or better is just crazy talk. Even TD agrees with us Drew Bashers that Drew cannot get it done Based on...? Again, I havn't heard a single official word about the situation, only speculation.

splinter21 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I dont like bledsoe very much but i must say, that after the 2001 season, you have to admit he rekindled our hope for anything good happening for us. Now I know that we didnt make the playoffs but and im saying BUT we still jumped from 3-13 to 8-8. I mean come on guys that was amazing. And though drew crapped out the second half of 2002, he still uplifted the morale of our team and was able to make them believe that hey, maybe they could pull something off you know. if they got their sh** together they could be a legitimate threat. However he ended up crapping out even more in 2003. and he crapped out like anything beginning of this season. but you have to imagine where we would be if we had not acquired drew. Would we still be rebuilding with greggo and gillbride?? Maybe, in another bizzarro universe. That said, I know we havent seen what JP can do yet. But from what i have read about his days in tulane, he had a horrible o line. I mean if you think ours was bad last year try his. and this kid was still able to put up 3000 yds in a season. He has mobility very similar to flutie. keep in mind im not saying i know for a fact he will be good, but given the right tools i think he can flourish as our qb. I think with mularkey's system he can do a lot of things for us. NINJA VANISH!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP-era Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Nice......I like reading that. It shows me that he's eager to get to work on HIS team. 237322[/snapback] This was the first of many tests to come. In the last few weeks we have been discussing what JP has to do, to be doing things the RIGHT way. We all felt that it was imperative that he get in Buffalo as soon as possible and get to work. So, he passed his first test. I think this is a great sign that the guys "attitude" is in the right place. That he takes this very very serious and wants to win early and often. The other nice move was for the Bills to show him that they support him fully early if they have any intention of starting him at all next season. Eli suffered from getting thrown to the dogs. If your young QB gets every single snap with the first team it will only help speed up his "jelling" with the supporting cast on the O. The line need sto know what he can and cant do, how much time he needs, etc...The WR's need to know where he will bethrowing it, get their timing in sync with him, etc... So far, JP has been given everything he needs to be successfull as early as possible. He just returned the favor and showed the Bills he has the right attitude by getting to work. So far so great (I think better than good) Theres lots more to come as far as key moments in this thing. For one, the Bills need to further bolster their o-line. A young rattled QB= mistakes. The better the Bills o-line the more time he will have to think and the better he will play. As his confidence and experience grows, the need for a great line will diminish. Not to say we should start to ignore it, only that it can be a HUGE difference maker in speeding along JP's learning curve and in the Bills having success early. So, this offseason is pretty damn important. We need to lock up a few very good o-line folks. LT, whether Jennings or an upgrade is the most critical. We must protect JP's blindside to build his confidence and help his decision making by giving him time. We absolutely need to get a good/great LG. The next important thing to watch is training camp and pre-season. He needs to translate what he learns from the tapes to what he does on the field. Anyways, this was a very important first step both from the Bills showing they support him, and from JP showing hes taking this job very seriously. Great news.

JP-era Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 You mean like David Carr (HOU) and Aaron Brooks (NO)? Gotta be careful when you say things like "nobody" or "everybody." CW 237875[/snapback] Aaron Brooks is paid 3.25 in 2004 and 5.5 in 2005. Not sure if he has any bonus money on top of that. David Carr was paid 600K in 2004 and 5.5 mill in 2005. he has amortized bonus of 1.8 per year. So he would have made 2.4 in 2004 and 7.3 in 2005. You want to say that NO is stupid for paying Brooks that much and getting that little, you probably should. Most people wouldnt consider Carr anyhting less than a very good young QB and being so youngt with so much upside, they definetely could justify paying him the coin. Interesting part is, Drew makes more, in 2004 at least, and has a lower passers rating than BOTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
