Alaska Darin Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 So now we're lauding Drew for playing well in a preseason game against the Saints? Seriously? Good to know he can still do it in meaningless games against bad competition. That's his M.O. His record as a starter against teams that finish the season with 10 or more wins: 8 wins 38 losses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually in terms of Drew, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. He is probably not as good as I thought/hoped. He might however be better than you think because by mid season, he will probably be 6th in all time passing yards, and 9th or 10th in all time touchdown passes. IF he starts, that is.

34-78-83 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 FWIW, I thought he played pretty damn well last night. I've seen all that before from him, but under a one game scope, he looked pretty good, on target, and just barely mobile enough to make it work.

The receiver gets all the credit for those. Cripes, I could have thrown those passes! PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrite Gal Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 And you might very well be correct. At least I didn't see you on the thread below talking about how his touchdown passes sucked! 748986[/snapback] This all is fairly funny as I think folks are certainly correct in citing his lousy results against teams with 10 wins or more and even in their frustration with how horrible it is to watch DB feebly producing running a Kevin Killdrive O and producing better with better use in a Tom Clements O in 2004 (bit not being good enough to carry a team whose D gives up 100 yards+ to a scrub and whose ST suffers unexpected meltdowns in the game against Pitts). The true hilarity is that despite the rants of some about how horrendous DB is, my current guesstimate is the combination of: 1. Being the QB on a Pats team which made it to the SB under Parcells and coming in as a back-up for a Brady led 2001 team and throwing the winning TD in a must win game during their SB run. 2. The massive top 10 ever totals he has accumulated in several QB stat categories because he has played a long time. 3. His being thrown on the ashheap by NE to comeback with a deserved ProBowl season for the Bills in 2002 and then being thrown on the ashheap by TD and then being the QB on a Parcells led Dallas team which has been competitive. 4. Racked up a few very glitzy years in his career. Should result in him getting voted into the HOF (maybe even on his first ballot but as HOF membership is a popularity vote rather than being based solely on some selected stats it really depends a lot on when he retires and who elese is eligible as to whether or when he gets in. If the competition is Favre, Bledsoe will have to wait. If the competition is Vinny as the "other" famous QB then Bledsoe is in. Given the weak NFC competition and an AFC east in disarray, and a Dallas team with Parcells in charge, it is not an impossibility that Dallas may even make the playoffs this year. If DB rises pheonix like from the discard pile yet again to play QB for a team that Parcells, Julius Jones, Williams and even TO lead back to the playoffs, then it is almost a certainty that Bledsoe gets in on the first ballot. Football is a weird game, but in the end it is the Hall of FAME and not the Hall of specific statistical accomplishments and like it or not one will probably see Bledsoe's bust in Canton soon after he retires.
