Whadya think? If the Bledsoe project gets worse and worse, here's our QB next year?

First of all, this is not to trash Bledsoe, I think he's a good QB when he has protection. But you never know what can happen from now until the end of the season.

I know Favre said no to playing out of Green Bay, but a lot of other proud vets have said the same thing. If Montana can play out of a 49ers uniform and Emmitt out of a Cowboys uniform, anything is possible. Parcells is NOT going to play any rookies at the position, and probably not going to touch Henson either. He wants to win now. He likes veteran QBs, and even though Favre has gone downhill, can you imagine what he could do in our running happy, time of possession offense? Favre would be a hell of a lot better than Bledsoe too if this oline breaks down again next year.

[SDogo]

God No!

[TunaFan33]

I read somewhere that Favre's INT % is pretty damn high.

Thanks, but no thanks.

[Doomsday]

OMG now Ive heard it all

[TruBlueCowboy]

I don't know why this is hard to believe. Favre is obviously out of Green Bay. Parcells doesn't like young QBs. He may be the best guy available.

[Aikmaniac]

Favre would retire before he donned a different uniform.

[Chuck 54]

The Bledsoe Project????

You guys are really going overboard. I've seen games when Troy Aikman looked like he didn't belong in the NFL, games when he threw victory away, games when he wasn't protected and had that sour puss look on his face the entire game...guys have bad games, even bad runs.

Bledsoe was ranked #1 or #2 in the NFC after 11 games. Now, after 1 bad game, you guys think he must be replaced? JJ and Barber haven't had a running game where they really made a difference in a while...why don't we bring in another RB? Witten didn't do much yesterday and is not a very good blocker...why don't we draft the big TE out of USC this year?

11 games...Bledsoe ranked as the #2 QB at worst and is responsible for much of our success this year. No, he isn't mobile, but we knew that already.

I just don't get this type of thinking.

Uhh.... one bad game? You may want to pop in those VHS tapes from the last few weeks.

15 of 39, 146 yards, 38.5%, 1 TD, 2 INT, 36.9 Rating

Now would be a good time to realize he has been playing like crap for more than a month now.

Hey, I know the offensive line stinks, and I also know he looked much better in the beginning of the year. But a few injuries and defenses figuring us out, and he looks like the same Bledsoe who has been dropped by two teams.

I know you would give anything to have been wrong about an inevitable Bledsoe collapse and instead watched a Cowboys victory season, but it must feel like redemption seeing him fall apart now. :D

I still wonder what it would be like if Flozell hadn't gone down.

His loss has hurt quite a bit. But we DO need more bodies in there. A porous Oakland D had like SEVEN sacks against us, with Flo in there?

Favre hasn't played better. He has 21 INTs this season. Bring him in behind this O-Line and his results won't be better. Fix the O-Line and you fix a lot of the problems on offense. I am not a big Bledsoe fan wasn't sure what to expect from him. I can tell you that in my opinion that he isn't playing that great, but most of that is because the offensive line is horrible. Just horrible. The whole offensive unit is playing poorly.

Thats kind of a funny statement. "I know the offensive line stinks and I also know that he looked much better at the beginning of the year" Uhh yeah, he looked better when the O line didnt stink. Go figure.
I think every one knew from the begining ,Bledsoe needs a real good O line.

You have no idea (well yes you do... like all Cowboys fans do) how badly I wanted to see them win that game.

Yes, of course Adams would make the line better! BUT the fact is with Bledsoe you need to have close to the very best line in the NFL for him to succeed and I just don't think that's realistic. He has no ability to create any extra time for himself and that's a killer.

[DallasDomination]

Hell No!!

Every QB would love a damn good oline. Aikman had one and is going to the Hall of Fame. Like Mikey says above, ya just feel like you need one of the best olines in the league to get production out of Bledsoe and in today's parity driven league where no one really has depth and is always an injury away from a potential collapse, I don't think it's safe to depend on a QB like that. Other players make due with even worse problems.

[SkinsandTerps]

Salivating at the remote possibility.

Brett Favre ? haha. I have seen it all now.

[CrazyCowboy]

No....I love Farve, but we need to develope a young stud for the future of our franchise.

Bledsoe is our old stud.

Sorry, but 75 is not a bad game, especially against one of the best teams. This was one of his best performances when rating is scaled by quality of opponent. Look at the numbers for KC yesterday when they best Denver. 2 TDs 2 INT. Bledsoe had one bad INT or his rating would have been 90+.

Despite playing average for 6 games, Bledsoe is #3 in yards in the NFC, #4 in TDs in the NFC, and #5 in Rating in the NFC (2 points behind #2, where #1 will not be eligible for long (Bulger)).

No thanks.

[joseephuss]

Isn't Steve McNair going to be available next season? 246 completions, 395 attempts, 62.3%, 2609 yardds, 14 TDs, 9 INTs and 83.8 rating. He is due a $25 million roster bonus. The Titan will cut him before he sees that. Heck, the Titans can be jerks at times so they will probably restructure his contract and then cut him.

I don't think Dallas will go out looking for another QB. They need to concentrate on the offensive line, but if they are going to get another QB, they need one better than Favre. That is right. I said it. Favre is not doing well this season. He actually sucks this year. He threw 17 interceptions last season when he had a very good O-line and all his weapons. How would he do in Dallas?

By the end of the season, Bledsoe's numbers will be right around where his 13 year track record has demonstrated they will be.

Sometimes I think all Parcells wants is a bus driver. Now it may be against everything Favre stands for, but maybe at the end of his career, he'd be willing to get in that bus driving seat, just like Elway did with Terrell Davis. I wonder what Favre's stats would look like if he played for Dallas, assuming we fix our offensive line next year.

[vicjagger]

I'm not sure why you'd use the word "if" in the thread title.

One month ago, he was #1 in the NFC in passer rating, now:

and #5 in Rating in the NFC

Proof that he has played poorly in the last 4 games. If he continues playing as he has lately, and I have no reason to believe otherwise (nor does Tom Donohoe), he'll end-up around 10th or so, and the Cowboys will be watching the playoffs with the rest of us.

Got his a** kicked!! ....and he's the best running QB in the NFL. I don't care who's back there. When a slow, run-stuffing NT is blowing in & practically taking the handoff from the quarterback, your O'line sucks. I don't care if Steve Young, Troy Aikman, or Johnny Unitas was back there yesterday, the result would have been about the same. When you get that much pressure, you can't operate your offense--period.

lets trade the 5th ranked qb for the 12th, lets trade the guy with 17 td's and 11 ints for the guy with 19 td's and 21 ints.

[Zaxor]

How many members do we have?

Let's see...our Chairman, you...LTN..me...

I've been on this list all year... heck even before we signed him...

but what has me worried is the annoying trend our offense has followed since Parcells arrived

we have a good first month maybe month and a half of offense and then it just goes away on holiday

also

Bill knew... absolutely positively knew...that Deadslow er.. Bledsoe had to have a better than good O-line it has to be almost exceptional...

we had the choice between Rivera and Wahl we took the older and the worse player and almost gave him the same money (I think it was $850,000 differance...)

I was complaining about Al Johnson last year getting blown up so Bill most have also seen that...nothing was done...

We were obviously thin at tackle in training camp but we kept trying with Vollers who was obviously banged up and we knew Rogers couldn't be counted on... we could have brought in some street guys at the very least and given them a try...but Bill is stuck on numbers saying "well I don't want to go long there and short some place else"... but then he will turn around and tell me he is always working on worse case scenarios with the roster...
****side note****
Rob Pettitte in my opinion as a 6th rnd draft choice has done a pretty decent job having to have switched sides and play at once...

Bill gets an A+ on his draft but a C on his coaching...what did Bill say about Griese he does not want a QB that can play .500 ball..hmmm..I wonder if he feels that way about head coaches

[sacase]

We do people figure out that if the Oline can't block it seriously limits us in what we can do on the offensive side of the ball. Why do you think our running game has sucked and bledsoe's numbers have dropped off since Flo got hurt. No matter who we bring in here barring Michael Vick (and he limits the passing game), the offense is going to struggle until our line blocks.

I think thats oversimplified.

They work in tandem.

Just as it's easier to run block for a RB who has great moves, it's easier to pass block for a QB who has at least a LITTLE mobility. I'm not saying this line is good. It ain't. But it looks even worse with Bledsoe at QB.

The defense knows exactly where Bledsoe is going to be. Period.

It's alot easier to apply pressure to a QB in that case.

Get used to it, as long as Bledsoe is here, we'll be in a lot of maximum protects and we'll place a priority on RB's who can pass block...even if it's at the expense of running ability.

you know brett favre is pretty mobile. and a vet and .... nah.

i agree with the let's "draft" a qb and develop him movement. even j.p. losman looked better than bledsoe yesterday. ouch, that one hurt.

[kartr]

The Bledsoe Project????

You guys are really going overboard. I've seen games when Troy Aikman looked like he didn't belong in the NFL, games when he threw victory away, games when he wasn't protected and had that sour puss look on his face the entire game...guys have bad games, even bad runs.

Bledsoe was ranked #1 or #2 in the NFC after 11 games. Now, after 1 bad game, you guys think he must be replaced? JJ and Barber haven't had a running game where they really made a difference in a while...why don't we bring in another RB? Witten didn't do much yesterday and is not a very good blocker...why don't we draft the big TE out of USC this year?

11 games...Bledsoe ranked as the #2 QB at worst and is responsible for much of our success this year. No, he isn't mobile, but we knew that already.

I just don't get this type of thinking.

In case you hadn't noticed, the NFC is down this year with McNabb, Culpepper,Bulger playing hurt and with Farve's supporting cast being hurt too. It really doesn't take much for Bledsoe to stand out under these circumstances. Also, his qb rating is dropping 10+ points per month and that's not the way you want to go into the playoffs.

[kartr]

Favre hasn't played better. He has 21 INTs this season. Bring him in behind this O-Line and his results won't be better. Fix the O-Line and you fix a lot of the problems on offense. I am not a big Bledsoe fan wasn't sure what to expect from him. I can tell you that in my opinion that he isn't playing that great, but most of that is because the offensive line is horrible. Just horrible. The whole offensive unit is playing poorly.

He was only sacked once against Denver. If anything the run blocking has been much worse than the pass blocking. Farve also doesn't have his top RB or WR and Bledsoe has one of his best linemen. There's no one to blame for Bledsoe's blunders but himself.

Mike Vick takes a beating every week behind his line of 7th rounders, yet many here thinks he's overrated, yet they make mega excuses for the great Bledsoe.

What a blind statement. Bledsoe's fumble yesterday was only on Drew and not the offensive line for letting someone get through. That is ridiculous. IF that was Quincy, you would blame the offensive line.

Also Favre threw 17 interceptions last season with his best receivers, o-linemand and running backs.

I am no big Bledsoe supporter, but that line has to play better for any QB to have a chance. I also don't like the idea of grasping at Favre who won't come cheap.
