Ramius Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Losman or Bledsoe. Assuming both play 16 gmes next year. Who has the better QB rating and why? 287674[/snapback] I say Losman will be about the same as last year, and be a 79 or an 80, and Bledsoe should drop to an 85, cuz madden still gets wood over him... oh wait, QB rating, not madden rating...

VABills Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Hard to tell, until we find out if we have a healthy TE, and a line to block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Losman. He's basically a rookie starter so the coaching staff isn't gonna just hand him the ball and tell him to go win the game. Rather he'll just be expected to not lose it while McGahee and the Defense do the rest Bledsoe on the other hand is teaming up with Meshawn, Terry Glenn, no running game and a poor defense. The Big Tuna's gonna hand him the ball and tell him to pass like its 1999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwovince Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Get over comparing to Bledsoe already. BLEDSOE IS GONE! Im sure Jp wants to be compared to noone but JP. JP is now OUR QB. Jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 In all fairness, remember the first few games Bledsoe had here? He was on fire. Why? The 'lightning out of the bottle' effect (as Howard Simon put it). They DO have a decent run game with Julius Jones, Keyshawn and Terry are above average wideouts, and the defense is getting better... Drew will likely have a few great games, bolstering his average into the low-80s, making the Bills release of Drew look bad (only temporarily). In the end though, the "pat, sack, fumble" engine will start reving up. Just for fun: Bledsoe- 77 (by end of year), Losman- 79. One is a washup, the other a rookie. It's going to be interesting to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I can guarantee one thing: Whichever of those two has the higher QB rating, it will mean pretty close to nothing about which of those two played better or was more important to his team.

Fact is, most QBs don't last a full 16 games. DB does, and Favre does, but not many others. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 more sacks and no wins in big games. And again, Bledsoe was sacked less per game than Brady was, once we put WM in the game. I can also guarantee that Losman will lose "big games" because the definition of that around here is "Superbowl." Unrealistic, but that's the definition I've been given.

He has a top notch TE, better than average receivers, and a very good offensive line...not sure where you get the "no runnig game" thing either...Julius Jones was very impressive for the Cowboys in the latter half of 2004. The Cowboys will be better with Bledsoe. I am not saying they are a cinch to make the playoffs, but they will be better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be interesting to say the least. 287725[/snapback] I wouldn't be show sure about this. Parcells really developed the model for having team success with Bledsoe in the season he had Bledsoe QB them to an SB berth. A key to this was his coaching Bledsoe away from the pat, sack, fumble model y harping on Bledsoe to "just pass the damn ball" in pracice after practice when he would hang onto it looking to thread it in to a receiver using his cannon arm. The success of this being the way for a team to get the most out of Bledsoe was underscored by Bledsoe ironically turning into the perfect #2 QB when Lewis unceremoniously benched him with a collapsed lung. Bledsoe turned out to be the perfect guy for the Frank Reich role as Brady has given him ample credit for helping him learn the Pro game in his first season playing by standing on the sideline and giving Brady vet advice of what Bledsoe could see but the youngater Brady had never seen before whenever he came to the sideline (Bledsoe does not appear to be capable of doing the walking and chewing gum at the same time of making the right pass while waiting to get hit, but there appears to be nothing wrong with his ability to dissect the game from the sideline. Further, to the key point of this thread, when Bledsoe was forced into the championship game by an injury to Brady, he not only threw the winning pass as a sub, but fortunately for the Pats, he struggled a bit with an offense made more conservative for Brady and created no QB controversy by winning the game with no style points whatsoever. If this was not enough of a lesson that the way to get the most productivity out of Bledsoe is to use him as a change-up rather than rely on his extraordinary arm, Killdrive as has been pointed out had great success iniitially being pass-happy with Bledsoe, but as the season went on and opposing teams got more tape on Bledsoe, they figured out with Belichectk providing a textbook in his games against the Bills how to neurtalize him using his bad tendenices Killdrive stuck with. Lo and behold, the Bills in 04 got off to a lurching start with Bledsoe at the helm last year. but MM and Clements used an alarm clock set for 4 seconds after the snap to remind Bledsoe to throw the damn ball and even did a mcu better job neutralizing the blitz as a guranteed tool against Bledsoe using the outside running threat of WM, employing the Bledsoe years to successfully pull off a number of flea flickers and shockingly even using Bledsoe to run the QB draw which I don't remember Killdrive doing at all. Will Bledsoe have a better year with the Cowboys than the Bills? Hard to say as so much depends on how the team plays around your whether a QB will have a good year (W/L is really the only important measure). However, I would not be surprised to se Bledsoe have a very good year in terms of QB rating (not the same thing at all as W/L as folks really overemphasize the import of the QB to winning the game). All through his career we have seen lesson after lesson in how to actually get your team far with Bledsoe as a player and how to not do well at all with Bledsoe as your QB. The key to production for the team with him as QB is to use his arm as a threat and not to depend on him combining his arm and head to carry your team. Bledsoe is simply not good enough to do this. The interesting thing is that as Bledsoe gets older if he ever gets it through his athletic pride that the way for him to do more (winning) is for him to do less (passing) I think he will do well. Both Bledsoe and his coaches unfortunately as I think Clements relied on him a bit too much against Pitts last year seem to have to learn this lesson again and again.
