LabattBlue Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 What a dick. Get the F**K out of the NFL if you can't be an asset to a team as a backup, go to Montana and hopefully never be heard from again. December 10, 2006, 08:31 Cowboys :: QB QB Maddox Works Out For Cowboys Mac Engel, Clarence E. Hill Jr., Fort Worth Star-Telegram - [Full Article] The Cowboys brought in NFL veteran QB Tommy Maddox for a workout, according to a source. It may be an attempt by HC Bill Parcells to motivate backup QB Drew Bledsoe, or simply an effort to add depth. Parcells has said he is concerned about Bledsoe, and that he is not comfortable with #3 QB Matt Baker playing. Earlier in the week Parcells expressed concern about Bledsoe, and his preparation since being demoted.
ajzepp Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Bledsoe is a kitty. When he went down to injury in 2001, he had a case for why he should have gotten his starting job back later in the year. Obviously the Pats made the right decision (one of the greatest decisions in their history...makes me want to vomit), but you could still make a case for Drew. But now he's been replaced by young, unproven QBs THREE DAMN TIMES. He throws red zone pics as often or more than he throws redzone TDs. How does this most recent incident put all this into even clearer perspective? Cause it shows just how much of a 'me' guy Bledsoe is. He acts like he just can't BELIEVE that he's lost his job not once, not twice, but three times. When he went to Dallas he acted like the Pats, Bills, and everyone else in the league was just crazy for not keeping him around. And now, even when the guy who DRAFTED him demotes him for another unproven guy, Bledsoe apparently still can't see it. Instead of maybe getting a clue and realizing that you're not the best option for the team right now - a team that is paying you MILLIONS of dollars - he sulks and becomes apathetic. If Drew can't have his wittle starting job back, he takes his ball and goes home.....he's a fuggin LOSER and if he ever gets a sniff of the HOF, it will be an embarrassment and an insult to all the other great QBs who have been deservingly inducted. If Drew isn't going to prepare himself and do what's best for the team, then he should quit stealing Jerry Jones' money, resign, and go home.
Rico Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 No surprise at all, I hope Al Michaels and John Madden further humiliate him during tonight's game. And Fez, I will let you off the hook for our bet if you will post in this thread & admit that I am right and you are wrong about Drew.

Will Drew be a first ballot Hall of Famer? Ummm, probably. My $100 against your $10 that this doesn't happen. As I posted in the forums, you're on. And don't think that I'll forget in 6-10 years! CW Deal!

Here was Travis Henry who did such a fantastic job for this team for 3 years and he was held like a prisoner to get a draft choice from another team. And then Losman is preferred over Bledsoe and TD releases him the next day for FREE so that he can sign with another team as a starter. What Double standards.

Marv Levy Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Everyone here is just upset because Drew didn't bring us a SuperBowl!
Arkady Renko Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 I am not sure why this is so surprising or that this is such a black mark on Bledsoe's character. The guy was drafted #1, started right away and has never been a backup for more than half a season. Human nature is that people hate demotions far more than they like promotions. I think lot of people when demoted at their job would have a hard time being motivated especially if they are very self-confident and have been a higher-up for a long time. The fact that he is well-situated financially makes it even harder for him to push himself.
eball Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Apparently Mac didn't teach Drew about "Preparing with Dignity?"
ganesh Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Travis was worth something in return 862953[/snapback] I guess

If you're a mature professional, you get it done anyway.

Who knows how bad it actually is.
pBills Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Sorry, I still like Bledsoe he has been crapped on for years... and now after his third demotion they expect him to all giddy about preparing for a game? I don't blame him one bit and certainly wouldn't call him a pu$$y.
