Has anyone bothered to check out any of the Cowboys message boards? I wonder what the general reaction to signing Drew is?

 

I haven't had the opportunity to check them out but I would guess most would at least think it's an upgrade to Vinny?

I still can't believe that most teams, including the CARDINALS didn't want Bledsoe, and the fans of the team that did sign him can't stand him.

 

Yet fans here wanted to keep him? People just really hate change!

Fear of the unknown.

As opposed to fear of the known.

Jaws was on local radio last Friday. He said that Bledsoe is the prototypical NFL QB, and he can 'still make all the throws.' Someone should inform Jaws that what was prototypical 5-10 years ago is now obsolete. I guess it's OK to be a statue as long as you can 'make all the throws.'

 

He also trashed the Bills O-line...wait until DB takes a few snaps behind the pukes line. Unless there is a major overhaul he won't last through week 5.

 

Talked about how DB hasn't been the same since PP left. He needs targets to throw to etc. If I had to guess I would say that Jaws was saying what the pukes wanted to hear.

What was really missing from Beldsoe last year was that "ignite in the belly"

feel he had when he played the first game for us Vs the Jets. DB went back

into the game after getting some part of his chin stitched up. It showed his

commitment to excel and win. Sadly I couldn't see that in Drew last year.

Especially the game against the Steelers, he looked so flat and unfocussed,

having no spirit to rally the team around him.

i think the cowboys line is probably more solid than the bills line across the board. not great, but not as many question marks/weak links. allen remains at least a solid player, adams is pretty good, the center is solid. gurode isn't as good as people expected (he was drafted awfully high for a guard), but i'm guessing he's not terrible. forgot who the RT is, but that's not hard a position to address (and the cowboys already stated they'd do this). they have a way better TE than the bills have had in eons, and the receiving corps is roughly equal (maybe slightly worse) to the bills when healthy.

All of the Cowboys fans I know personally are all happy about it. Suckers... :doh:

they probably should be - i have every expectation that bledsoe will be at least moderately decent next year. and that's better than what they had the last few seasons. one thing people forget about DB is that for all of his flaws, he's essentially lost nothing -- he's genuinely exactly the same player as he was when he came into the league physically. he was immobile in 1993 and had a great arm, and you can say the same thing about him now.

Jaworski is inconsistent. He couldn't say enough positives about Losman when we drafted him 10 months ago. I DEFINITELY remember him saying he'd be starting by 2005. Now he's waxing nostalgic about Bledsoe ? Talk about playing to an audience.

 

Oh well, there was lots of toxins in Lackawanna where he grew up. :doh:

Given the overall weakness of the NFC and that Parcells made the playoffs with Quincy Carter as his QB, would it really suprise anybody that a Bledsoe lead Cowboys makes the playoffs?

By prototypical, I'm guessing that you and Jaws mean a pocket QB. And if that's the case, there are several successful pocket QBs in the league right now, including Brady, Manning, Roethlisberger, and Green. A guy's ability to sidestep the rush in the pocket does make him a scrambling or rollout QB.

 

Bledsoe was a pocket QB with increasingly slow feet and progressively bad decision making. There's nothing prototypical about that.

I raised a question, why should I make enemies or attract attacks...or am I only allowed to spout the Converntional Wisdom that Bledsoe sucks and it does not matter what team he plays for.

 

The more things change the more they stay the same....

To be honest with you, I thought Drew played "Too Careful" this past year. Almost like he was afraid of making the big mistakes.

Not to mention that he never lived in Buffalo in the offseason. Bledsoe's about as old school as it gets. He still thinks he can come in and out all year like the other position players, while new school guys like Brady and Losman are willing to do their homework year round. Bledsoe reached a plateau then it's as if he said that's it...I know everything I need to know, I'm going back to Montana, see you in August. That's not good enough to cut it in today's NFL.

I agree. In most instances, when the prototypical pocket QB played a critical game vs an out of the pocket QB, the pocket QB won.

 

Part of that is the role of THE OFFENSIVE LINE and the importance assigned to it. If Bledsoe has success in Dallas (Big If), it will be Parcells' priority to have a roadgrader O-Line.
