cosjef Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Goat of the Week: Buffalo QB Drew Bledsoe. A grim, dinosaur-like performance by a guy who, when confronted by a confusing, attacking defense (New England, Pittsburgh) looks too old to be really good anymore. 14. Buffalo (9-7). In the end, quasi-frauds. 4. I think for all the guff I've given Buffalo GM Tom Donahoe over the last couple of years -- for drafting Willis McGahee when he didn't need another running back, for quite possibly overpaying for Drew Bledsoe, for being too quick to part with his first-round picks in exchange for immediate gratification -- some of the decisions I've rapped Donahoe for are starting to look good. Some of them look very good. McGahee is a 237-pound stud, a back for all seasons assuming he can stay healthy. Next year, he'll be one of the best three or four backs in football. The jury's still out on Bledsoe, who was horrendous against the Steelers, and J.P. Losman, the Tulane kid drafted last April to succeed Bledsoe with the first-rounder borrowed from the 2005 draft. The only thing that won't work out just the way Donahoe had planned is the deal he's going to have to strike to move Travis Henry in the offseason. Henry's been hurt and lousy this year, and I doubt with the collegiate riches in the running-back crop expected next April that Henry will fetch more than a low second-round pick or high third. But that proves what a good choice, in retrospect, McGahee was.
