IndyMark Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 While I can understand keeping up with ex-Bills that generated enormous emotions (pro and con) I would like to submit this note to TSW readers and posters....."DB is no longer a Bill. DB is no longer a Bill. DB is no longer a Bill. DB is no longer a Bill". By the way, DB is no longer a Bill. And finally, DB is no longer a Bill. Move on - show some restraint - why pick on him? At least TH is still technically a Bill, and once he is an ex-Bill there should be no reason to speak about him. Or keep it up and I will have to resort to posting multiple times everyday on the very emotive subject of "Flutie" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckeyeBill Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Some of you people make me sick. I'm going to stand up for Bledsoe here. He was NOT immobile. He did get sacked a lot, but that's because our line sucked BIG TIME!! Yes, there were times when he should have thrown the ball away, and took the sack... but I would say that he didn't exactly perform poor in the pocket. Do I think that Bledsoe was the best, no way... do I think that he was average... I would say a little better than average. I remember many times when I was like... "OH no, not another sack", and then amazingly Bledsoe would get out of it and throw the ball to TH or someone else for a few yards. If you are disagreeing with me right now, ask yourself this question. Who performed better in the pocket, RJ or DB? No-brainer, Bledsoe was much better. And Johnson could run faster too.

Bill from NYC Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 What a shock. Fezmid the first to defend Bledsoe... 302505[/snapback] But Ed, the facts are on his side. Does that matter? Besides, he didn't even bring up the W/L record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 You forgot to ask what it was with and without Henry as the starting RB. 302633[/snapback] The starting running back didn't matter much when the competition didn't suck. But let's pretend Travis Henry was the only problem with the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Bledsoe's mom and dad give seminars on boosting your child's self-esteem: "Mac and Barbara Bledsoe have been talking with parents for more than 20 years about how to help instill positive behavior and good decision-making skills in their children."
