BillsNYC Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I still can't believe that most teams, including the CARDINALS didn't want Bledsoe, and the fans of the team that did sign him can't stand him.

He said that Bledsoe is the prototypical NFL QB, and he can 'still make all the throws.' Someone should inform Jaws that what was prototypical 5-10 years ago is now obsolete. I guess it's OK to be a statue as long as you can 'make all the throws.' He also trashed the Bills O-line...wait until DB takes a few snaps behind the pukes line. Unless there is a major overhaul he won't last through week 5. Talked about how DB hasn't been the same since PP left. He needs targets to throw to etc. If I had to guess I would say that Jaws was saying what the pukes wanted to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganesh Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 What was really missing from Beldsoe last year was that "ignite in the belly" feel he had when he played the first game for us Vs the Jets. DB went back into the game after getting some part of his chin stitched up. It showed his commitment to excel and win. Sadly I couldn't see that in Drew last year. Especially the game against the Steelers, he looked so flat and unfocussed, having no spirit to rally the team around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if that's the case, there are several successful pocket QBs in the league right now, including Brady, Manning, Roethlisberger, and Green. A guy's ability to sidestep the rush in the pocket does make him a scrambling or rollout QB. Bledsoe was a pocket QB with increasingly slow feet and progressively bad decision making.

Bledsoe reached a plateau then it's as if he said that's it...I know everything I need to know, I'm going back to Montana, see you in August. That's not good enough to cut it in today's NFL.

CoachChuckDickerson Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 If my starting QB was Vinny last year, I would be excited about Drew.

Part of that is the role of THE OFFENSIVE LINE and the importance assigned to it. If Bledsoe has success in Dallas (Big If), it will be Parcells' priority to have a roadgrader O-Line.

Other offensive weapons though we have the nod. WR-our combo beats Glen and Johnson. RB--I like what I saw from WM. O-line I would lean towards the good guys. Tuna will protect his team's weaknessess better than most. He'll run the ball and try to win 7-6 because he knows DB can't carry a team. Trouble is their defense really sucked last year. If they don't upgrade on that side of the ball it will be a long year. Lots of noise that the boys will make a FA splash early and often. Time will tell.

Gibbs is in his 2nd year of rebuilding and he had the #1 defense in the NFC last year. His offense will only get better. The Giants will be rebuilding for a few more years...However Atlanta, Minnesota, Carolina, Green Bay will all be better than Dallas. Everyone keeps comparing our O with Dallas O and saying how they are better. Everyone has forgotten that the cowboys couldn't stop the run nor rush the passer and were way down on D and STs which are supposed to tbe the forte for Parcells.. We won many of games here because of our D and ST providing short field positions (plus they combined had 11 TDs returned last year, #1 in the NFL).

Most the best QBs are still the classic drop back and pass QB. Bledsoe's failings deal with not be able to make decisions right, not being able to feel the rush, and not being able to hit the short passes. If being able to scramble is so good, why did Rob Johnson constantly get sacked. He was extremely athletic and would often get big gains running. He is not the only so-called mobile QB that had problems with the rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no coincidence that the Pats, Steelers, and Ravens all returned Bledsoe turnovers for TDs this season. Donahoe and Mularkey could have kept him and skated by winning 8 or 9 games a season, while stomaching massacres at the hands of the better teams in the league until Drew retired.

Bill from NYC Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 What many in this thread seem to forget is that Drew played in Buffalo for 3 years. For 2 of those years, his headcoach was a boob. For the other, his headcoach was a rookie. Now, he is going to a team that is coached by an all time great. He is SO great, that he defeated the best coach we ever had in a superbowl, with an inferior team to boot. Add to this the fact that Drew is now in a weaker conference/division, and perhaps one could see a reason for optimism for cowboy fans.....that is IF you can get past the hate.

Maybe being just good enough is ok for you and Drew, but the QB position is too important for that kind of lackluster dedication.

Did they fail to read the blitz because they don't live in Buffalo either? Dammit Moulds, stop living in Mississippi and get your butt up to WNY. It takes two to play pitch and catch, and it wasn't 100% Bledsoe's fault. Sure, if a QB doesn't throw the ball away on a blitz, it appears to be the QB's fault, but it's not if he has nobody to throw it to (and taking a sack is better than throwing the ball away, as that'd be a 10 yard penalty as opposed to just lost yardsage). I'm not saying that every one of the sacks was the fault of the receivers, but a sizable chunk of them appeared to be from watching the games. To pin the blame 100% on the QB is crazy.
