RJsackedagain Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Would you want to back up a guy with little experience when you have been a starter for almost 12 years in the league? Uh, the answer is NO! Cut Bledsoe some slack .... at least the dude wants to earn his paycheck even if his skills are declining and the game is too fast for him now to be an effective starter. After the whole mess with Flutie and Johnson and the Todd Collins Experiment, the Bills could have done a lot worse at QB the past 3 years.
JoeF Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 He was struggling for words at the end of that question. He is still angry and bitter..."no two bit almost rookie is better than me" is basically my interpretation of this. The guy is a competitor with 12 years experience--JP is unproven. JP needs to prove himself and now he has the opportunity... Give Drew a break on this one--just like Donahoe when we he had his brain fart at the Williams firing press conference.
eSJayDee Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 How 'bout just that their styles and strengths are so disparate that it wouldn't be a good fit?

plenzmd1 Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 he definately said that, i JUST listened to it. I dunno whether it reflects on maybe some bitterness like TH saying his job was not lost it was given away on Jan 3 or if he meant he didnt think JP was not good enough to lead the team or what. I was just commenting that he DID say it. 242357[/snapback] AS I posted earlier, y'all were absolutely correct and I was wrong. Maybe I was just hoping he didn't say it. Again, my aplogies

The dynamics are always the same. Player leaves town for whatever reason and we rush to prove "he was an **** anyway" By this time next week Bledsoe will be discovered to be gay, raped a girl scout, and someone will reveal that they saw him at a bar leave only a 10% tip.

Drew Bledsoe is a class act, always will be---he's just been faced with being told he's not good enough for probably the second time in his life (the other time was in NE when he recovered from injury and didn't go back in to replace Brady, but that was tempered by someone trading a first round draft pick for him). He just proved he was a little bit human. No rapist or !@#$ feeling here.
Shameless Homer Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Do you know a poster named Oneida Lake? 242394[/snapback] No, why do you ask?
MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Bledsoe didn't want to backup Brady, whom he mentored and was a (player who shouldn't have won a) SB MVP (but did). Why would he want to backup a guy he mentored but hasn't proven anything? Another way to take it is that he doens't see much in Losman yet, i.e. he's not even close to Bledsoe. And if you think Bledsoe sucks, you should be scared shitless by that thought.
Rico Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 No, why do you ask? 242398[/snapback] Just wondering.
CircleTheWagons Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 The only possible reason we are worried about what Drew thinks is that we believe he has some insight into JPs ability and he thinks he sucks. I'm not going to start trusting Drew's analysis NOW I hope JP heard the comments and we get to play against Drew's new team this year AND their starting qb is injured so Drew can play against our D.
BRH Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 There is way too much overreacting going on here. Let it go already.

His judgement is spot on...

DB's big talk about loving the preparation, practice and the game doesn't translate to a high level of play on the field. He's just jealous of JP at this point and his big impression of his abilities at this juncture are a figment of his own pride and ego. I understand that...He used to be damn good. Good Luck to the Guy.
eSJayDee Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 ... discovered to be gay, raped a girl scout Common man, be serious. If he was gay, why would he rape a girl?

I heard he walked out on the bill. Poor waitress had to pay the entire $300 tab from her meager paycheck.
Mike in Syracuse Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 yeah, this from a guy who would rather have a 4 second alarm clock go off in practice, than walk away with an ounce of dignity.
