Dawgg Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 This article points out what a nice guy Drew is... but it also points out what might be best for the team. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/p...331/1007/SPORTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 So they expect a starting quarterback in the NFL to walk over and say "take me out" NAME ONE FRIGGEN QB THAT WOULD DO THAT... Once you say put me on the bench....that is like admitting defeat....Drew Bledsoe is a competitor.....he will NEVER do that...... If he is doing poorly and the HC decides to make a move in a game to Mathews....I will cheer for Mathews to do well..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't raise a peep when Carson Palmer was annointed in the off-season. He volunteered for the change, according to rumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthews will provide a spark alright, and you'll be able to smell the fire from miles away when the team goes up in smoke. Impatient moronic ranting. The entire world seems to have forgotten that one single non-Bledsoe related play in both games and the Bills are 2-0 and you'd all be standing around bitching about Lindell.

Drew Bledsoe does many things on the football field I despise. One thing I admire about him though, is that no matter how bad his ass gets beat, he's in there trying to do well until the gun sounds. As far as your last point John, even though I know you're a fan of Drew, I don't doubt you'd support Matthews just as much. We could use a few more Bills fans like that...

Dawgg Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 Doug Flutie was with the Bills for 3 weeks before he came in and provided a spark. Kurt Warner was with the Rams for a week before he provided a spark. Marc Bulger was riding the pine for a few months before he provided a spark. Aaron Brooks had been with the team a few months before he provided a spark (when Jeff Blake went down with injury) Even Drew Bledsoe provided a spark for the Pats in the AFC Championship Game You're right. Bledsoe did not necessarily "cause" these 2 losses. But when looking for a spark, you don't get a new kicker or fullback. You put in a new QB. That's the pulse of the team... not that Shane Matthews is any good, nor is he a permanent solution. But a spark once in a while never hurts. Now go stroke your Bledsoe bobble-head doll Impatient moronic ranting. The entire world seems to have forgotten that one single non-Bledsoe related play in both games and the Bills are 2-0 and you'd all be standing around bitching about Lindell. 41546[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawgg Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 Point taken. I didn't really ever expect Bledsoe to voluntarily take himself out. I was more eluding to the fact that the team could use a short-term spark and that decision would rest with the head coach, not Drew. NAME ONE FRIGGEN QB THAT WOULD DO THAT...Once you say put me on the bench....that is like admitting defeat....Drew Bledsoe is a competitor.....he will NEVER do that...... 41496[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB2004 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I'm glad that Scott P is not the coach of this team. Drew will be the starter until he gets hurt. PERSERVERANCE is the key word here. Drew will come around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
