Bledsoe or McNabb?

[Jarv]

I really wish people would get off this BS ABOUT THE LINE HAVING TO BE PERFECT. Early last season the line was not perfect and Bledsoe was putting up Pro Bowl numbers.

I really wish people would get off this BS ABOUT...

Bledsoe has played behind bad O-lines most of his career...

deep is not a very undistinguished win and then getting toasted.
And no board is as homer ridden as a skins board. Not even close.

 

[Cowboy Junkie]

This was a tough choice
I think Mcnabb is the better player but T.O. and Mcnabb cant get along so I choose Bledsoe.....

Bledsoe's should wins this in a sandslide!!

Anyone's not vote for himn need to wonder if they a real "Boys fan or not.

 

[AtlCB]

Oooo

oooo

Let me guess!


Bledsoe wins!

And if you posted this on an Eagles site; McNabb would win.

You probably should have waited for the post results before posting this. McNabb is currently up by 2.

Why?

Because people can look at things objectively now and then and realize that not every Cowboy is a great player?

That is a ridicilous statement. I guess you think Julius Jones is better then LaDanien Tomlinsin using that logic.

And no ability to escape the rush.

That is really my only hassel with the guy. The line has to be perfect vs. other QB's that can throw from the pocket, or escape the rush. He just can't do both.

I agree with this. When McNappie breaks containment, he is as dangerous a player as there is in the NFL IMO. Here is where he really excells IMO. Also, he has never thrown more then 13 INTs in a single season. In fact, over 7 seasons, he averages 9.4 INTs and 5 Lost Fumbles for a total of 14.4. per season. He doesn't take very many sacks when healthy and he averages 19.1 TD passes and 3 rushing TDs a season. At total of 22.1 TDs a year against 14.4 turnovers. The ability to avoid sacks and make things happen down field against the rush clearly sets him appart from Bledsoe in my mind. Bledsoe's TDs to TO numbers are not as good at 19.3 TDs and 19.5 TOs career. That plus the the sacks he takes clearly makes McNappie a better QB at this point in his career IMO.

LT is the best back in football at this time. JJ might be top 10 - maybe a little better if his luck changes- but that has yet to be proven.
I am suprised at how close the vote it though- as many people as seem to be down on Bledsoe he is getting quite a bit of support.

Better football player: McFlabb

Better quarterback: Bledsoe

I'll take the guy best suited for the QB position

 

[burmafrd]

McFlabbs agility and mobility are his greatest assets- no doubt about that.

Might be top 10?

What has he done to warrant any consideration as a top 10 back?

I seriously question whether or not McNabb will ever be "that guy" again.

I never saw that same "drive-sustaining" ability last year as I had in the past.

Some may simply write it off due to his injury - and that may be accurate.

But I wonder if it wasn't a concerted effort to become a "pocket passer" as well.

I'm of the opinion that McNabb will never be the scrambler he has been in the past.

We'll see this season whether or not I'm right........

This is strange to me. The player best suited is going to produce the best numbers, the best result. It would seem that that player is McNappie. How do you quantify Better Quarterback when the numbers indicate it should be McNappie? I don't understand this line of reasoning.

McFlabb is a better athlete

Bledsoe has a better arm

I can't really make it any simpler than that

 

[burmafrd]

Also it seems that Bledsoe is a better leader.

Well, I guess I understand your reasoning. I can't say that I agree with it but I do understand how you come to this conclusion. I'd agree that Bledsoe has a better arm. In fact, I believe he has one of the better arms in the league. However, I don't beleive that neccesarily equates to better QB. For example, I'd say that Bledsoe clearly has a better arm then say a guy like Brady. However, I would never say that Bledsoe is a better QB then Brady. To me, the numbers say it all where McNappie and Bledsoe are concerned. As much as I hate to say it, I believe McNappie is the better QB. Sucks but there it is.

I think this statement is a bit unfair. Up till last year, McNappie was viewed as a very good leader by most. Bledsoe, not so much while in Buffalo. I think this is a relative statement. Time will tell if one seperates from the other but at this point, I don't think you can say that Bledsoe has proven himself to be a superior leader.

No offense, but this schtick is already old. Please don't tell me it isn't a schtick. I've already looked at your early posts on this forum and you were hardly the rebel redneck who can't spell and mixes up phrases. You were more interesting to read when you were being serious.

Just food for thought.

No, I think McNabb was portrayed in the media as one. IMO if you look at how the team reacted when everything went down with TO, it was obvious that not nearly as many players have bought into McNabb as we're lead to believe.

Rumours finally came out that some guys resent McNabbs contract and they way he is pampered by the FO, even while they let vets walk away over pennies. I don't remember anyone speaking up for McNabb when TO started to publically light into him.

Just my opinion from the reactions of that team when they encounter adversity, but I don't think he is a guy who inspires confidence or motivation in the huddle or the locker room. He just happens to be the best playmaker on the field. The media often confuses the two.

And I think it plays a big part why they have failed to clinch it 4 years straight.
