Fake-Fat Sunny Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 If people have some answer besides yes or no (and no should include some statement of the their reasons for believing in Mattherws who after all was the top rated passer in the NFL in 2004 accirdubg to NFL.com), then I think you should include some explanation based on at which game you make the switch from Bledsoe to JP. I disagreed with resigning Bledsoe and not looking elsewhere, but once that error was made then I think the Bills started the right guy at QB all the way through the season. One mighj make a 20/20 hinsight case for starting JP in the last game but this strikes me as fantasy league silliness, I think having made the flawed decusion to go with Bledsoe (at least he made this error the best way it could have been done by resigning him to a cap friendly deal) the Bills made the right choices with their starting decision throughout the season. The even better news is that with TD saying Drew is #1 on the depth chart but he must win the job, he has created an opening for JP to take the job on the field of play if he is player enough to do so.

Gavin in Va Beach Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I'll offer up some flamebait. I voted 'no'. We have no idea if Matthews could have "managed the game" and helped Buffalo achieve the same winning streak against bad teams. I kinda believe he would have, and then not fugged up the Steeler game so badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I think if it were a true competition for QB, Travis Brown would have beat out Bledsoe. As it were, with the injury, Bledose was all we had to start the season, although during the bad stretch, Matthews probably would have been an improvement.

boomerjamhead Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Travis Brown would have singlehandedly manhandled the Stealers. BROWN, McGAHEE, EVANS - What could have been......... BTW - pun intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Don't forget TD could have brought in a Jeff Garcia or Jon Kitna as a FA. Either would have trumped Bledsoe. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
