View Full Version : Will You Support Bledsoe in Dallas

I know there has been much discussion, and all the arguments have been explored.
So lets make this easy!
Simple, Will you support the Dallas Cowboys signing Drew Bledsoe?
I would. I don't think he's a significant upgrade, but he does represent an attempt at improving the position in my humble opinion. Hasselbeck and Brees are the only guys I really look at as significantly better potential free agents, but even those guys have concerns. Hasselbeck has done his damage in the west coast offense and Brees is coming off a career year and will cost a lot of picks. Considering he was well below average prior to this season, is he really a guy we should give up 2 1st rounders for? Call me chicken, but I'm not convinced.
If Henson is the guy Parcells wants to develop at quarterback and he's merely waiting until he's ready, I think Bledsoe is a fine "transition". If Henson isn't a guy Parcells likes much at all, and he signs Bledsoe without getting another young guy in here, then I don't know what the hell's going on.
I like Henson and want to see him as much as the next guy, but I've been ready to admit for a while that it may take him quite some time before he's truly ready to get on the field.

You need to add catagories...
Bledsoe as starter?
Bledsoe as backup?
No Bledsoe at all?
I'm all for it as a backup, unless he beats the hell out of Henson in pre-season...

That's the thing. If Henson is to win the job, he needs to do it by beating out someone that is halfway competent...in other words, someone with more skill than Tony Romo. Considering Henson's not a high draft pick or being paid a lot of money, I don't see him necessarily being handed a starting position like Palmer and Manning were.

I don't believe Drew Bledsoe comes here unless he knows for certain the starting job is his. Given how he is not a clear upgrade over what was here last season, I do not see how we could guarantee him anything like that.
If the Cowboys wish to upgrade the position by actually spending money on a considerably better option at quarterback, then I am all in favor of such a move. That said, I don't see too many options being availalble.
Given the option of signing Bledsoe with the idea of him starting or going with Henson and a journeyman vet as the number two, gimme the latter.

As a fan you gotta support whoever is behind center. IMO.
For you guys to say NO just means that you are content with growing pains for the next few seasons.
Growing pains dont usually equate to a lot of wins.

I'll support him if he comes here, even if it's to start. What I won't support is bringing him here without a serious attempt at beefing up the O-line. The guy can't move around in the pocket, but given time he can pick a defense apart.
I will say this.... When BP was hired I thought this was going to be something special.....to me all he is doing is trying to recycle his old success through his old players and it's getting old.
As much as I'd like to see Henson get his chance, nobody knows what he can do and bringing Bledsoe in, imo, would not only be an upgrade but a security blanket for atleast a few years just in case Henson isn't going to be the guy.
thats just my opinion.

Not disagreeing with this...however he has stated that... "tip my hat and head back to the northwest" if he does not start.
I'm all for a FAIR competition and best man win, but I doubt Henson would get the FAIR end of the deal going against Bledsoe. I just don't...would love BP to prove me wrong!
Then this begs the question...Drew Henson beats him out...what does Bledsoe do? physically? To the locker room? Vet leadership? Mentor???
I'm not 100% convinced Henson is "IT"...hell no one does until he proves it, but he needs that chance unless he simply sucks, which I do not think will happen given the chance.

I am not saying that you have to be a fan of that player.
Hell, I am not impressed by any of the 3 Redskins QBs at this present time; but as a fan I have to root for them.
I think we are similar in that thinking. Because I hate Brad Johnson yet while he was a Redskin I had no other choice but to root for him to win even though I always saw him as a scrub.

Of course I would. If he were signed, he would be a Cowboy and so, I would support him.
I will say this. If he can't produce, and I think this likely with our OLine, I expect every last one of you posters that are yelling for Bledsoe and crucifying Vinnie, to be among the first ones to cry about his play. There will be a lot of backing up on your opinions and in the end, you will almost to a man, say that you never liked Bledsoe, that it was BPs man love for him and that there really was no choice. I'm saying here and now that there are choices.
Be careful what you wish for gentleman.
That's the thing. If Henson is to win the job, he needs to do it by beating out someone that is halfway competent...in other words, someone with more skill than Tony Romo. Considering Henson's not a high draft pick or being paid a lot of money, I don't see him necessarily being handed a starting position like Palmer and Manning were.
If Henson can't beat Bledsoe out what does that say. I think The Henson supporters see that Henson may not be ready, and fear open competition.
Bledsoe can start immediately and is a high class guy, I bet a better mentor than the soft spoken and shy VT. - JMO

It says that he got less then one game of experience in the NFL and he's not ready. Basically, what any reasonable individual that isn't leaking cerebral fluid from the brain pan would think.

Saying "I didn't support Quincy" does NOT mean I was rooting for him to do bad in games. What I didn't support, was him being the starting quarterback.

If he is a Cowboy I support him.
I think if he comes here he beats out Henson, and I think that worries some of the faithful who have already given Henson the reigns as the "Next" Aikman. We have no clue what Henson can do. He played sparingly in COllege, and in 2 games the last 4 years. Bledsoe is way better than Vinny as a backup or a starter.
Personally I'd rather have Troy, but since that isn't going to happen, let the chips fall were they may and whomever is starting next year will get my full support until the play like a washed up/never was reject like Vinny.

I'm just stunned anyone could watch Bledsoe play this last year and believe that not only is he a good QB, but that's he's an improvement. He was a bad QB in Buffalo, just like VT was a bad 4th quarter QB. Bledsoe couldn't throw short with accuracy. He couldn't throw medium range with any accuracy. He had a better run game, better defense, better ST, and he was still bad.
25th in the league, total offense v. Dallas at 14.
25th in the league, passing offense v. Dallas at 15
13th in the league, rush offense v. Dallas at 20.
He!!, Buffalo punted more times than Dallas . . .
And please don't tell me his stats when he played with Parcells a decade ago. Phil Simms had good stats to, with a ring - anybody what him this fall??
I just don't get it. Some of y'all are worshiping a mirage . . .

I'm just stunned anyone could watch Bledsoe play this last year and believe that not only is he a good QB, but that's he's an improvement. He was a bad QB in Buffalo, just like VT was a bad 4th quarter QB. Bledsoe couldn't throw short with accuracy. He couldn't throw medium range with any accuracy. He had a better run game, better defense, better ST, and he was still bad.
25th in the league, total offense v. Dallas at 14.
25th in the league, passing offense v. Dallas at 15
13th in the league, rush offense v. Dallas at 20.
He!!, Buffalo punted more times than Dallas . . .
And please don't tell me his stats when he played with Parcells a decade ago. Phil Simms had good stats to, with a ring - anybody what him this fall??
I just don't get it. Some of y'all are worshiping a mirage . . .
Drew also played didn't play in a JV conference called the NFC.

yoneElse]I'll support him if he comes here, even if it's to start. What I won't support is bringing him here without a serious attempt at beefing up the O-line. The guy can't move around in the pocket, but given time he can pick a defense apart.
I will say this.... When BP was hired I thought this was going to be something special.....to me all he is doing is trying to recycle his old success through his old players and it's getting old.
As much as I'd like to see Henson get his chance, nobody knows what he can do and bringing Bledsoe in, imo, would not only be an upgrade but a security blanket for atleast a few years just in case Henson isn't going to be the guy.
thats just my opinion.[/QUOTE]
Allthough it is really sucks seeing ex Bill players come in ,and one has to wonder why he seems to need that sort of security blanket( which is a whole nother subject) .I think Bleeds can be an up grade,if he can come in with the right attitude concerning our long term hopes. Bill has had some success with ex players.Vinnie had a chance to take this team to the playoffs,injuries to safety ,corner ,tight end,WR and especially runningback we would have made the playoffs,(did I forget kicker and poor Defense) Key and glenn are damn good #2 receivers with a couple of yrs. left, all we need is a # 1 receiver (which could/should have been A B before his meltdown).All we need is a # 1 receiver and Key and Glenn have enough game to allow us to draft for the future by the time they are used up,not a bad plan really.
I can see the benefit of having a loyal attitude towords players to a degree.I can see Bill wanting to right a mistake calling Glenn a she,and in the context of the plan that he is trying to emplement .I feel it was a good move ,and did not hurt the team,and did cleanse both souls to a great degree.I think he preformed well and can still contribute to a playoff team.
Key for Galloway ,I'm OK with that.
For certain Injuries and Bill's mistakes hurt this past year.But he is bringing in some players worthy a contender.
Cambell, A real player
Written , A true pro bowler
Newman, K-state shut down,Bank it
J jones, Looks to be great
Henson, Many believe can be a true top QB
Al Johnson , Solid player
James (LB), could very well wreck havoc soon
Hunter/Frazier , Potental
I would like to see Bledsoes stats last season,Probably an up grade from Vinnie.
Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to see Henson the Cowboy's QB.
Bill will Bounce back,winning will settle some confidence .We have injured players returning ,aggresive FA stance,Cap room and draft picks.
Gentlemen, We are gameplanned and Poised to be Contenders.....

The topic of the thread and the question of the poll are very different.
Of course I'll support Bledsoe if he's a Cowboy, but as of right now I do not support the Cowboys signing him to the team. So I voted no to the poll...I do not support Bledsoe coming to Dallas.

Put me in the "pick a Drew, any Drew" camp. Henson, Bledsoe, Brees (if he doesn't cost too much), whichever. Just pick one and fix the secondary and DL.

Gosh I don't think so. The Eagles aren't going anywhere and we can't seem to beat them and haven't for sometime and we just keep playing with old retread QB's rather than settling on a young starter that can be here for many years. We're not a playoff team.

Wow Rack that is frightening logic!
Just to be sure I'm understanding correctly now...
Any Cowboy fan that doesn't blindly agree with the signing of any player to the organization is not a true cowboy fan, no if's, ands, or buts?
The hole is getting deeper...
Are you illiterate? Go back and read my first post. Where did I say that?

If Henson can't beat Bledsoe out what does that say. I think The Henson supporters see that Henson may not be ready, and fear open competition.
Bledsoe can start immediately and is a high class guy, I bet a better mentor than the soft spoken and shy VT. - JMO
The problem I have with this line of thinking is that there is NO way Henson can beat out Bledsoe until he gets game experience under his belt. If Bledsoe comes, the only way Henson gets experience (other than preseason) is if Bledsoe gets hurt. I want to know how long anyone thinks it will take for Henson to be ready to step in?
I have assumed that at some point Vinny would step to therearand Henson would get a legitimate shot to lead. If Bledsoe comes in when does Henson get his shot?
Neither do I..
Count me in as blind as well. :rolleyes:

Rack, I think you are the illiterate one. You said...
ANyone that voted no is simply not a true Cowboys fan. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
If you could read, you would be able to read the original posters first post
Simple, Will you support the Dallas Cowboys signing Drew Bledsoe?
S-I-G-N-I-N-G
If you voted no, you voted against signing Bledsoe. Sheesh I feel dumb that I had to explain that.
Bledsoe got hurt, Brady took over and led them to a superbowl. If Bledsoe were to come here and get hurt...Do we have an ex Mich. player that can take us to the superbowl ?

Many of us are hoping we do :D
Bledsoe 4 President :D
I think he would make this offense even better and it will give Henson some time so i am all for it

The woodson and J Jones injuries cost us the playoffs last yr.
We have settled on a QB, His name is Henson,We'll be happily seeing henson jersey's at sport bars for yrs,durring playoff season.
We actually played Philly well untill late 3rd Qrt. last game .
We have a plan ,and many key pieces,Henson,JJ, Written,Newman Roy,Glover.
