clayboy54 Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 "I completely disagree and can't understand their point of view." Maybe that is exactly why he is not in our future plans. If your QB is not on the same page as the coaching staff, you clearly have to make a change. For whatever reason, it seems Drew feels that the team's direction was the problem. For this reason alone, I am glad to see him go.
Corp000085 Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 after reading his quotes, i can see why the team did what they did... Seems like someone still thinks cleopatria is the queen of denial.

Rico Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 But he is such a classy guy!!! 242358[/snapback] Classy, but sassy... too sassy for TD.
Arkady Renko Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Wow, someone actually overestimated his own ability? That's a big surprise, especially in an athlete.... In other news, Paul Krugman just wrote a column attacking Bush and the sun rose today.
Dan Gross Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Yeah, I know, you all expected him to say "well of course they're going to cut me. I suck." But he didn't. The reason why he was cut is that he still believes he's a starting-calibre QB. We'll see soon if one of the other 31 teams agrees with him, but if he didn't have that belief in himself, I can guarantee you that none of them would. If I'm a team looking for an interim QB, I certainly don't want to hear "Well, the team said they were going with Losman and once they explained why I said 'that makes sense.'" Of course, if he didn't have that belief in himself, we'd have our "veteran backup QB." What wonderful lives you all must lead to scoff at someone for believing in himself....it's not like he could say anything right by your eyes anyway.
Shameless Homer Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 But he is such a classy guy!!! 242358[/snapback] When I see type written this big I am reminded that this is..some...really..important..sh-t.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 He doesn't think JP is ready and/or Drew thinks that the team is close with him as starting QB. I guess we'll find out and I hope Drew is wrong now that it's over with him.

Boys and girls, the man just lost his job to a dude that has not proven jack sh**. A 12 year vet who ranks high in a number of stat categories is out of a job. A man who I REALLY believe wanted nothing more than to bring a championship to the city of Buffalo, now will no longer have that chance. And given all that, he still went out with more class than most of us would have given the same situation. In fact, given that we all know (or should know), that not every lost we suffered over the last 3 years was Drew's fault, I am surprised he was able to hold his mouth in check so well. Cut him some slack, wish him well and get off his back. We have a new future and direction to look forward to, I hope it's a good one. For MM and TD's sake.....it better be!!

You know, Travis also wants to be a starter. He wants out of Buffalo to be sure, but he is generally highly valued and well received on this board. I wish Drew well and thank him for lifting the franchise. Time to go? So be it. We DO have smart coaches and a smart GM. All we can do is trust their expertise and hope they are right. I STILL want to see a good backup brought in.
