BuffAlone Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) Was in Buffalo. Say's by far. Say's "if Bills ever get over the hump and win a championship, he may even paint his face. " That's pretty amazing considering he played in NE and Dallas but loved playing in Buffalo by far.

But its there to see if interested. Nobody wants to come to Buffalo, until they're here. Then they want to stay. Funny how that's always worked lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had an understandable reaction when the Bills drafted Losman and basically pushed him out. That doesn't mean he isn't capable of reflection. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did bash buffalo pretty hard when he went to Dallas. However he was ripping management. He was right in hindsight but unprofessional as to how he aired his laundry in the media. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Imo, letting bledsoe leave set this team back 2 or 3 years. Had bledsoe stayed, we probably would've been alot better in 05 and 06. Bledsoe leaving started a bad history of qbs in Buffalo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC When he left Buffalo. His attitude towards Buffalo was way different. Than now. He was pimping his winery once on a show. I thought he may have joked about Buffalo. Over course the clown twins had the reins then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he says "when people ask me where my favorite place to play was, I always tell them Buffalo." Cool to hear all the love once "superstars" join the team,sometimes via trade(and somewhat disgruntled) ,to have them fall in love with this city.

WhoTom Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 The Bills did him a favor when they let him go. What they should have done, in the interest of the team, was have an open competition for the starting QB position. If Losman won, so be it, but at least they'd have had Bledsoe to take over when JP failed. Drew didn't want to be a backup, so they released him. He was still under contract, so they could have traded him or kept him. Releasing him was good for Bledsoe and bad for the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun Facts: In 6 fewer starts, TT won as many games and had only 4 fewer TDs than DB. He also had a better completion % (63 v. 59), far fewer INTs (16 v. 43!). TT's YPA was also better (7.2 v. 6.6).

Bledsoe wasn't very good with the Bills. I do agree that bledsoe wasn't great. However, what mularky did with the bills was good and the team was on the rise. That 04 team had a ton of talent and I have no doubt that we wouldve been better in 05 with bledsoe. I think the front office was the biggest issue. The bills did not draft qbs nearly as much as they needed to. Losman, Edwards, Fitz, Ej. Other than Ej, the bills never took a 1st round qb after losman. That is truly absurd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills didn't need to take a QB in the 1st round to be set at QB right now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was decent his first season but our line couldn't protect him and he started getting PTSD his second year, once the defense got that first good hit on him he started throwing off his back foot, usually to check-downs and was kind of useless. We actually did him a favor sending him to Dallas because they were able to better protect him and he did better for a time. But even there, once he took a solid hit/sack he got jittery and mostly ineffective. I don't think he was ever mentally the same after that sheared artery. Pretty scary stuff.

stony Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 His winery puts out some of the best Cab in the country. So he's got that going for him. My two favorite games of Bledsoe were the Minny game we won in OT, and the snow game in Buff vs Miami, where Ricky ran for 200+. He chucked the ball all over the field in those games. Fun to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bledsoe leaving started a bad history of qbs in Buffalo I've kinda always thought that also and the playoff drought would've been more like 11-12 years had Bledsoe stayed. When Bledsoe left the team the defense was playoff caliber and the offense with him could do enough to make some noise as a whole. Losman was just a year with the team and basically on sabbatical year one due to the broken leg. Even one more year of seasoning wouldn't have hurt Losman and for the veterans on the team keeping Drew would have given them one more chance to do something. From what I have read most of the veteran players were furious when Drew was released because they knew it would be a step back with a rookie QB and most likely a wasted a year. I want to say it was Matt Bowen who said something to the effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
