jad1 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 How about the sack stats? Drew was sacked more than 50 times in 02, and sacks were cut in half while Willis was in there, right? Don't you think that this matters at all? 364408[/snapback] I could look at that and say that even though Bledsoe was sacked that many times, he still managed to throw for 4,000 yards and 24 TDs. And while the sacks decreased in '04 from '02, so did his performance. So less sacks in '04, but also fewer yards and TDs. More proof that Bledsoe was in decline.

Ramius Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Did Drew get to the superbowl in NE? C'mon, you can do better than that. 364461[/snapback] And he promptly went 25-48 for 253 2 TD's and 4 INT's...now thats stepping up in the big game!

John from Riverside Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Im sorry I guess it just isn't sinking in for me..... Exactly HOW MANY times did we make the playoffs with Drew Bledsoe as our QB? hmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Did Drew get to the superbowl in NE? C'mon, you can do better than that. 364461[/snapback] You're right I can - I was just waiting for somebody to bring that up first I know Martin dominated the Steelers game that year in the playoffs, and they were up 13-6 on the Jags before a defensive TD iced the game late 4th Qtr, and then he set a SB record for int's. I'm trying to google the stats for what is his most "successful" postseason with a HOF RB, HOF coach, great TE, good WR's. I'm pretty sure they're not pretty.

Does this count? 364471[/snapback] If it does, than it also accounts for the higher number of sacks in '02, right? Or do we just keep blaming Henry for every sack the mobile Bledsoe has ever taken?

Are you doing so now? 364473[/snapback] And if Henry had fumbles that were returned for TDs against the Ravens, Steelers, and Pats (like Bledsoe did), you'd be blaming everyone else but him, right?

Alaska Darin Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 What did I prove. That Drew has put forth a good career and that Travis is a loser? 364442[/snapback] That you're willing to overlook Drew's recent (almost 2.5 seasons in Buffalo) performance and very large and obvious flaws because of past accompishments and better off field behavior while ripping Travis (correctly for the most part) for just about the same things. Sorry Bill, Drew being a warrior and a better than average QB at one point in his career doesn't change what he is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnykterstein Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 The *only* reason I'm down on Bledsoe is because he proved with pitt he cant be counted on in the big game where you need to count on him. I'm sure we could go 11-5 with bledsoe, but the problem is I'd have no hope of winning a superbowl since he would choke. Losman is fresh and new and has no such boundaries. its a risk but I like the all or none attitude. great risks reap great rewards and JP is indeed a great risk. Hopefully though it will result in thaat great reward we all covet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 If JP doesn't lead the offense to a TD on his first possession of the preseason, I'm packing it in. Hey, at least we're talking football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
