DB choked in big games with the Bills. I could care less about what he did in New England, prior to coming here. He had a very impressive first 8 games in 2002 and a less than impressive 40 games since. Stats don't tell the whole story or he'd still be here. The absolutely galling turnovers which cost the Bills key games, finally convinced the Coaching staff he could only do so much. The Bills had 10 total TD's in 2004 from the ST's and Defense. Drew did OK with a short field but played poorly in most games.
JP is completely unproven but so is every QB when he gets his first start. By your logic, Montana should have never replaced DeBerg, Eisason in for Ken Anderson, Marino in for Woodly, Pennington in for Testeverde and on and on and on. All those other vets with good career stats/success were replaced. But Bledsoe, the almighty Deity, cannot be replaced by a high draft pick.
I've been going to games since the '60's and know subpar play when I see it.
Drew Bledsoe deserved to be send packing after 2003, let alone last month. Feel free to keep perpetuating the myth. He's in Dallas and I wish him the best.
He offered this team little hope.
I'm very pumped for this upcoming season. Go Bills !
