Blah blah blah yourself. Brooks is still less experienced than Bledsoe and yet can throw 20+ tds a season in 5 consecutive years. Bledsoe has had 2 seasons in the last 6 years as good as 5 of the last six seasons for Brooks. Plus Brooks has had no defense and much poorer coaching than Bledsoe. Bledsoe has shown that even with good players around him and good head coaches, he still can't get a team to the playoffs.
When we play the Jags,Panthers,Bucs,Colts,Falcons,plus 6 games in our division, where all the teams in our division will be better than last year, you'll see the folly of this Bledsoe nonsense. We were 3-3 in our division in 2005 just like 2004 with Vinny at the helm. We were 5-1 in our division in 2003 and despite all the talent we're adding, we're regressing, while our division gets stronger. I hope you enjoy losing for the next few years while other teams are getting more athletic at the qb position while we're stuck with 'pocket dinosaurs'.
You're dead right on.....Most fans want Bledsoe to do great. Most didn't want Carter to do great, nor would they want Brooks to do great nor would they want Culpepper to do great, you get the point.
Bledsoe will get eaten up by guys like me who look at results and not for "other" reasons. Myself, if you can lead me to the promise land, that's who I want. Everyone raves about Manning and has had a man crush for Manning for all those years Brady was just winning Superbowls.
I wish we could come to a day in this world, when we look at the talent objectively and judge it by that and that alone. As far as I'm concerned, Carter was on his way to being a good Quarterback in this league (not great). He *** it up himself and so that's that. Vinny had 14 or so years to become great and Bledsoe's had tons of years to be great himself.
I hate it when a QB has an excuse. Carter would not be awarded an excuse, yet we have excuses for Vinny,Bledsoe, Aikman near the end of his career. It's our oline, or running back, or WR's can't catch, or TE won't get opened, or the play-calling... I would say that our Defense is way better than the one in 2003, and that defense was #1 in the league.
Personally, I'd like to see Jay Cutler here or whomever is young..But to this day, I will never know how a Quarterback like Carter could get us to the playoffs, but the great Vinny and Bledsoe couldn't...
