Blue Chipper Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Im sure many of you watched the game last night. Bledsoe was his normal self- olding the ball, missing short throws to his running backs and getting sacked. But his "understudy" Drew Henson is just as bad. I remember there was talk on this board that the Bills should have gone after Henson. Glad they didnt. I think he will be a back up his entire career. But this is the Cowpokes problem and it couldnt happen to a better team and a better coach. Now Drew is the Tuna's headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 drew sucks, plain and simple. the only thing I cannot figure out is...why did parcells want this guy? 415403[/snapback] This is what happens when emotion and idiocy get together for drinks. Drew was vocal about not being a backup. The opportunity to be the starter in Dallas with a coach he knows was purely emotional because he needed to show his critics (whoever they are) that he was a valuable commodity in this league so instead of being patient and testing the waters, he took the first (and yes, possibly the only) offer thrown at him. Parcells, on the other hand, is an idiot for thinking that Bledsoe will get him to the promised land. As Madden commented last night, Parcells believes that if you "gimme a quarterback, I can get you to where we want to go faster. Without a quarterback, it will take time." What he should have said was "Give me a great quarterback..."and Bledsoe is not a great quarterback. This game is too fast for him. Way too fast. I liked having Drew as our qb and truly wish him success. I had visions of "John Elway grandeur" when he came in...the guy who got to the next level and brought it all home. But I was wrong in my thinking. And so is Bill Parcells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risin Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'm no bledsoe fan, but I think he came back and played pretty decent after the poor start. I still think he has a little left in the tank (had a nice 9 yard scramble on third down), and wouldn't be surprised if he plays much better then he had in his past 2 seasons here. As far as Drew Henson, yuck, I think Tony Romo will be the #2 QB some time this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Wasn't it Dallas that was the Bills trading partner that brought us JP Losman? Think they wish they had Losman in their camp now?

Cugalabanza Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 The new Drew (Drew who?), Haddad, is the true Drew! The others are through. Who knew? From me to you... his time is due...

JoeF Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Drew has well documented weaknesses that are easy to exploit--slow decision making/slow tracking through his progressions, lack of the intangible "feel for the rush", slow starter when he decides to run--his first two steps are really plodding..those are the key two steps when under a rush. The D can always send more people than the O can block with when a QB has these weaknesses--and with Drew--the vast majority of the time--he can not exploit any mismatches or one on one coverages sending more people creates. I was shocked after the '03 game against the Cowboys, when the Bills had the following sequence of drives in the second half, that Parcells would be interested: Buffalo Bills at 13:05, (1st play from scrimmage 13:00) 1-10-BUF 40 (13:00) 20-T.

Drew may quickly learn that Cowboy fans are just as critical as Bills fans with one big difference--a full gun rack in the back of the pick-up...

This being said, if Drew leads them to a championship, Parcells deserves a special Nobel prize, Time man of the year, Sportsman of year, and maybe a grammy, emmy and people's choice award for resurrecting the dead....and changing the world...

He hasn't been nearly as successful since Belichek bolted the Jets for NE. Now he is just like Drew, an outdated relic living off of his reputation.
