All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
By the way the Skins game is going we won't see any "Should've kept Bledsoe" threads
Re: By the way the Skins game is going we won't see any "Should've kept Bledsoe" threads
To be frank Bledsoe was not the problem.
The problem is that Donahoe horribly drafted JP when Bills had an above average QB on Bledsoe.
The problem is that Donahoe played fantasy football with McGahee when Bills had a probowl caliber RB in Travis.
The results are:
a) 4 wins,
b) two players to still "develop" in critical positions,
c) no solid depth at any position
d) 5 miserable and insane spent years

In light of his career, by what standard is Bledsoe "above average"? Efficiency? Results? Turnovers? Rising to the challenge of beating good defenses on the road?
How did Travis do this year in Tennessee? How would he have done if he stayed? How did he and Willis do on the same team last year?

In only one stat would I consider him above average - total yards. But that is mitigated with all of his other flaws, most notably his propensity to choke against good teams. I really would love to know his career record against teams over .500. I would almost bet it is less than 25%.

And what about his record against teams with 3-4 defenses?

I bet you were pretty PO'd the way he played against KC.
Re: By the way the Skins game is going we won't see any "Should've kept Bledsoe" threads
How he played against KC -- the same KC pass defense that's second-worst in the league and got torched by JP -- was to be expected. Drew has always fed on weak defenses, giving him the inflated stats that are the only thing his supporters can fall back on. Part of what makes a QB "above average" is how he rises to the challenge in adverse conditions against good defenses.

Re: By the way the Skins game is going we won't see any "Should've kept Bledsoe" threads
Bledsoe sucks ass! I had the unfortunate displeasure of actually being at that game. It was the worst football game I have ever been to in my entire life! Bledsuck got sacked THREE TIMES IN ONE DRIVE! Why Parcells didn't put the back-up in when the second half began and the Cowboys were down 28-0 is totally beyond me! I hate the Skins and I also hate Parcells, Beldsoe and Keshawn Johnson. Joey Galloway is a MUCH better player, IMHO and PArcells never should've traded him for Johnson. I think Parcells is a moron and should be fired immediately!

#1 If drew can't get rid of the Ball behind a line like Dallas has what makes you think he could have done it with our O line
#2 He was going against his old Head coach as the D-coordinator. Manboobs knows every weakness he has very well, He partly lost his job because of them.
