Rod Woodson is about to rip Bledsoe

[MONT17]

anyone watching NFL network? Woodson is about to give the QBs in the league that give up picks almost at will!!! I bet Bledose makes the top 3!!!


I just hope he doesnt compare Bledsoes 03 season with any other COWBOYS QB!!!!




:lmao2:

[MONT17]

Woodson just called Bledsoe Aaron Brooks!!!




:lmao2:

[MONT17]

for those of u who missed it...


Woodson showed AARON BROOKS then he showed DREW BLEDSOE!!! I guess Woodson really doesnt know what he is talking about because the Cowboys are running 2 TEs sets and that will cure everything!!!



:lmao::lmao:

[Jimz31]

Let's face it...Bledsoe's track record of giving up INT's at inopportune times doesn't change due to him now being a Cowboy.

Let's just hope he doesn't throw as many this year. Hopefully keeping it under 10....which may be asking ALOT!

If Bledsoe throws 24 TD with 16 INTs, we should be fine.


Bledsoe throws, on average, 1.05 INTs per game in his career.
Bledsoe throws, on average, 1.30 TDs per game in his career.
Extrapolate that over 16 games....20.8 TDs and 16.8 INTs

Just for the record... Bledsoe's career TD to INT ratio is BETTER than Aikman's.

Lets chew on that before we start talking about how bad he is about throwing INT's.

I dont think how many interceptions you throw in a season matters.......Bledsoe threw 17 but I dont think it was that big of a deal.....2 or 3 of them were hail marys thrown before halftime and take out the last game of the season were he threw 2 in a game that didnt count....and he threw 3 in the Washington game.....and all QBs have a bad game....Tom Brady had 4 in one game? not an issue

Good point. One int per game average would not be that bad. I'm sure we'd all still be bustin' on him about it, but in reality it wouldn't be that bad (as long as the TD's rack up as you mention...)

Interesting fact I didn't know.

[ghst187]

the "great" brett favre threw 29 Ints vs 20 TDs (DB's was like 23 TD-17 Ints or close to that)
Based purely on TD-INT ratio for last year, Bledsoe ranks about equal to:
Jake Delhomme, Jake Plummer, Trent Green, and Eli Manning
and below:
Brady, Manning, McNabb, Roth, and Hasselback

that's about how I would rack and stack the QBs based on everything too

[ravidubey]

Two of Bledoe's interceptions cost us games-- Seattle and Denver. I think Dan Campbell had his worst game of the year vs. Denver and could have helped Bledsoe more. Seattle was a bad play and a bad pass. We should have been more aggressive earlier in the game and made that pass unnecessary. Bledsoe takes the blame for all his interceptions because he knows he is ultimately responsible for all of them. That shows leadership.

Great point here. Let's at least take away the Hail Mary passes (totaled three).

It's funny how Bledsoe gets that reputation, then the Seattle interception is shown, but there is no mention of all of the last drive touchdowns he threw last season when the pressure was on. San Diego, Carolina, Philadelphia, Kansas City....I probably missed a few.

[leotisbrown]

I'm fightin mad!!

Rod Woodson-- YOU JUST MADE MY LIST OF BAD PEOPLES WHO GONNA GET A NICE BIG I TOLD YA SO WHEN WE START WINNING BIG!!

I hate me up the media that don't like us and I can't way at to show them whats what!!

Last laugh is best laughing for sure!!

[burmafrd]

That is why just showing how many INT's a QB has is sometimes misleading.
If they are hail mary's they need to be thrown out. Also- if you are down by several TD's in the 4th qtr any INT's there need to be looked at too. Several of Bledsoe's INT's came against the Skins- I do not remember how many came in the second game when we were toast. To me- the bad INT's are the ones in close games at the end- Seattle being the worst.

Bledsoe is a gunslinger, and when you put the ball in the air a lot you're going to make mistakes and turn the ball over.

The Answer forsees Bledsoe having a 30 TD 15 INT type of season with this new pass happy offense in 2006. A 2-1 TD to INT ratio is definitely servicable.

No two missed field goals in the Seattle and Denver games cost us.

But yes a INT is an INT, and give Bledsoe credit for stepping to the plate and taking the blame unlike a majority of other 'marquee' players in this league that point the finger at everybody else around them.

No see he belives that Aikman was the single greatest QB ever to down a helmet, and that put any QB's name with his is pure travesty and they should be shot down.:rolleyes:

Well The Answer isn't a homer, Troy was phenomenal and will always be remembered as one of the all time greats in this league...but he was far from the best QB to ever play the game and 3 world titles aren't going to change that. And we all know how much overall talent he had around him on defense and offense, not too mention a pretty good coach in Jimmy Johnson.

Not saying Bledsoe is better by any means, he does have better numbers and might finish with overall numbers that blow Aikmans out of the water. But the fact is Troy was a career cowboy, and even if Bledsoe wins a title or two here over the next 2-4 seasons you can't really compare the two since his tenure as a cowboy still won't come close to Aikman's....

Seattle I would agree.
That was an incredibly bad pass that got picked for a game-turning TD.

Denver, I would not at all agree. We missed a chippy field goal and allowed Ron Dayne to run for the longest rushing attempt of his season if not career in OT.

We are not paying a fortune ot the guy(which only matters cause it leads to at least 1 dumped seaosn when they leave) or give up picks for him so I love the production we are getting at the cost. It allows us to upgrade all over the place and we have had our draft picks to build up this young studly defense.

Keep in mind that Bledsoe had some good years, and some bad ones, to accumulate his 1.05 INT average.

A .75 INT rate would equate to 12 ints on the year, his best performance ever.

T.O.'s strength is catching the short pass and running after the catch. That will result in fewer interceptions. The double -tight-end offense is also going to result in fewer INTs. Glenn's down-the-field patterns should be the only high risk passes Bledsoe throws.

I believe he can achieve the .75 rate this year, and elevate himself into the elite class of quarterback. If the O-line is as good as it can be, then he might even better the .75 rate.

The Seattle one cost us the game, but the Denver INT was offset by the Denver fumble at their own ten. We lost that game because Cantiff couldn't hit an easy FG late in the game.

What did they do in Super Bowls? Aikman was great, Bledsoe choked. Period. But you go ahead and talk about stats.:rolleyes:
Who would you rather have in the Super Bowl the early 90's Cowboys teams or any team Bledsoe has had?

No one can knock what Aikman has done but Bledsoe has not been on great teams so knocking his lack of a ring is a bit hollow. Unless of course you plan to knock ALL players without a ring. By the same token different offenses offer different stats. Bledsoe(as did Aikman) has been playing on down the field offenses where you throw picks. WCO teams are dinking and dunking and should not throw many picks. When a WCO guy goes 19 of 25 for 225 yards and 2 picks it is no where near as impressive as when a down the field offense guy does so because the WRs didn't get 100 of that yardage. When McNabb completes 55% of his passes it rings hollow because 90% of those passes are to backs and tight ends. Doesn't mean McNabb sucks just that the stats do not truly account for the differences in offenses.

Larry Brown has a Super Bowl MVP but is he a better CB than Terence Newman who has 1 playoff game where he was torched to his credit?

Bledsoe and Aikman have many similarities actually. Both are big, tough, rather robotic types. They seem to have the respect of teammates and both won in college and was drafted 1st overall. Neither guy is mobile and both have suffered a decline in play when hit too often.

I dont think his interceptions cost us the game right out......When you lose a game it always something more than just a interception thrown. The Denver game we did not lose because of an interception and the one in Seattle was just unlucky, it was just a hail mary and I dont think anyone thought it would be ran back as far as it was. That pass was thrown because he was told to do it because Bill felt as if we had lost momentum in the game.

[burmafrd]

Bledsoe did not have that bad a SB. Most of his picks came late in the game when the Pats were far behind. ALso Reggie White and company ate the Pats O line up- he by himself humiliated both tackles.

[BlueWave]

Greatness is not always measured by Championships, especially in football. One players can help a team win, but the teams must be good enough as a whole, to win it all.

If Bledsoe was the QB of the Cowboys of the 90's, he would already have won a few SuperBowls and already be in the HOF. I feel fairly sure of that.

i remember the sieve of an O-line aikman played behind at the end of his career. blitzers were already in the pocket waiting for troy to complete his "drop" right into their laps.

i also remember (errr... no i don't) the corps of non-entity WRs he had for targets after novacek retired and irvin went down in philly.

above all - i remember aikman routinely referred to as "robo-QB" and "the league's most accurate passer" when he had reasonable protection and some talent to bang his passes into.

troy was one of the best at minimum. witness his induction into canton this summer...

now... feel free to yammer on.

I dont care if it matters or not. Bledsoe threw 2 picks.

Biggest game of the year Tom Brady didn't throw 4. And he hasn't so far. Washington, at Fed Ex, was supposed to be revenge. That was our season. After we got beat like that, it was over. I don't care if nobody showed up, our leader, our qb, he DID NOT show up.

I like Bledsoe, and he's better than Brooks. But this is the reality we face. BP never has won anything with Bledsoe. Bledsoe better come out and perform. This season is his legacy. T.O. BP having "failed" so far. Jerry Jones putting aside his ego to win it big again. If Bledsoe doesn't deliver a championship, he will never be viewed as an elite QB. His perfomance is in direct correlation with those guys NFL legends. He feels the pressure, let's see him perform.

[burmafrd]

As regards the second wash game- no one showed up there. So trying to say anything about Bledsoe in that game exposes you as someone who is always looking for a reason to rag on him. Brady ahs screwed the pooch in big games- not often but it happens. Just like any other QB. You give Bledsoe decent protection and he will do a job for you. Bottom line. anything else is just whining.

Edit BTw, you know you like complety condractied yourself, you said that when people around him stunk, he he wasnt able to do anything, but when he had great players, he played great, then called at mimnum on the of the greatest,...... doesnt really add up, wouldnt u say?

Dan Fouts is considered an elite QB.

Dan Marino is considered an elite QB.

Jim Kelly is considered and elite QB.

What do they have in common?

[ctalker]

My two cents on Bledsoe.

He has had some really good years earlier in his career and was pretty bad at times in Buffalo. Obviously, many of his problems at buffalo should be blamed on the talent around him, but he was also pretty bad at times as well (when he couldn't beat Pittsburg's backup scrubs with the playoffs on the line).

Bledsoe can be really good if surrounded by talent and has a good O line. I wouldn't call him elite, as if he was, he wouldn't be the Journeyman QB we picked up off the streets. Billicheck (sp?) didn't think he could win a SB with Bledsoe.

I'll take Aikman's accruacy, decision making, and his ability to show up for the big games over Bledsoe anyday. Even last year, he looked completely horrible at times later in the year. I know the oline should shoulder much of the blame, but I expected more out of a vet QB.

While I think Bledsoe has had a really good career, I don't think he will make the HOF unless he wins a SB. Yes, he has a lot of nice stats but given the up and down nature of his career I don't think he would get in curently. He's definitely not a first ballot HOFer.

Of course, he can change all that this year if he can step up. He has the talent around him. Guess he will get a flier from many if the Oline isn't great.

[Billy Bullocks]

Dan Fouts is considered an elite QB.

No Rings. I know.

If htat's good enough for you, then hey, be my guest. I think I may have been a bit harsh on my assesment of Bledsoe. But this is the best team he has commandeered since he was on that Pats SB winning team the year Brady took up.

Career wise this has to be one of the best teams he's played on. He's got to do something.

I am aware that Bledsoe didn't show up for that Washington game. And if you read my posts about Bledsoe, I usually defend the guy. I think he's good enough to get the job done. I just called him out because this thread is abbout him, and he's supposed to be the leader on offense.

I don't think anyone would take Bledsoe over Aikman.
I don't think Bledsoe is great, elite, or even in the top 7 or 8 current QBs in the league, but he IS much better than over half of what the rest of the league starts at QB currently.
He hasn't always performed his best in big games but he has played well in big games some times. I very much appreciate the fact that he can throw the ball accurately and consistently when given time, the fact that he can find the open reciever, the fact that he's a solid leader, and the fact that he's a consumate professional.
If we don't win a championship soon, I don't think Bledsoe will be the main reason.

Tom Brady has screwed up in big games just like any other quarterback but of course the kicker was always there to bail him out.....IF the kicker would have done the same for us last year and we won 12 games no one would say anything.....but now all of a sudden Bledsoe lost the games we lost? We wouldnt have won half the games we won without him. The day Bledsoe signed with us before last season we were a much better team rather people accept that or not.
