Comparing the NFC Leaders: Bucs vs. Cowboys

[Pittman4Two]

Friends of the silver and blue, I have sat down and compared the Pewter Pirates, position by position, with those teams I consider to be tops in the NFC Conference. Bear with me, much information will be following below.

Quarterbacks

Christopher Simms vs. Drewford Bledsoe

Simms now has the keys to one of the most high potented offensive attacks in the NFL League to Coach Jon Gruden. Gruden has taken the younger Simms under his wing and has delicately fed insight to the youngster throughout his career. Simms has adequate height and size to play the position of QB. He has struggled in the area of special teams but with the heavy load and responsibilty of being the QB on one of the most visible franchises on the planet, the coaching staff should take one step at a time.

I'll be honest with you here. Bledsoe's teeth are getting a little long. Parcells has always liked older QB's so that profile fits Bledsoe to a tea. Through his travels of both college and now the NFL League, Bledsoe has never been afraid to take a hit. He stands strong in the pocket and he almost dares people to tackle him. The Canadian is one tough hombre since he decides never to run even when the opportunity presents itself. He'd rather take one for the team than scamper for a 30 yard gain. This tough griddiness doesn't come around often. Cowboys fans should be happy, satisfied, and glad that Bledsoe lines up under center.

Advantage: Push

Running Back

Carnell "Cadillac" Williams vs. Julius Jones

Cadillac is already in the Hall of Fame. Yes, I said it. The man's shoes were enshrined last season for running for the most yards ever in a game by a rookie from Auburn. Williams deserved all acclimates thrown his way because of his work ethic, running style, and dedication to working during the week...not just on Sundays. The HOF'er is a monster and could take carries away from Pittman if the cookies fall just right. Look out NFL League...

Somebody needs to tell Julius that the league is a full 16 game season, not 8. You would figure with all of the bowflex machines, sports creames, chiropractors, trainers, etc. that Jones could at least make one little full season. The guy has talent. I watched him beat up on Florida State while at UVA and then run all over the Bears on Thanksgiving. The kid has the tools as well as the makeup to be successful.

Advantage: Williams



More to Come...

Shouldn't it be Dallas and Seattle? Or Dallas and Carolina?

 

[austintodallas]

Drewford :laugh2:

 

[Thick 'N Hearty]

I would hardly make it a push between Bledsoe and Simms. Once Simms has thrown for over 40K yards, then we can talk.

Don't hold back your homerism, please.

I'll take Bledsoe over Simms thank you. There is something to be said for experience.

As for JJ's injury history, you might want to tell Cadillac the same thing. Didn't he miss two games last year? And only carry the ball 10-12 times in several others.

I'd take Cadillac over Jones too, but it isn't a big difference based on actual performance yet.

Hmm, when did the Pacific Northwest become part of Canada. :laugh2:

 

[Portland Fanatic]

[CrazyCowboy]

How did the Bucs make it?

 

[BARRYRAY]

Yea but where's their TO, Newman, or Roy, dream on dude, and Bledsoe it light years ahead of Simms, I'm from Austin I've seen him, I'll give you the rb but our committee is better, remember when Cadillac was hurt they tanked, no one rb can make a 16 game season in today's NFL...

 

[Thick 'N Hearty]

Tops in the NFC = Bucs? :rake:

 

[austintodallas]

You guys must not have seen this dude's stuff before. He throws a post like this out probably once a month.

It's all just a big put on and you're giving him exactly the type of reactions for which he is shooting.

I mean JJ from UVA, come on.

Of course it's schtick.

 

[austintodallas]

Of course it's schtick.

Kind of entertaining though.

 

[Future]

and apparently the game is played 2 vs. 2

what about defense, WR, TE...all places where the cowboys have advantages

 

[chinch]

Bucs?

come one, we're going to own them.... all the typed words won't change the fact

Quarterbacks

Christopher Simms vs. Drewford Bledsoe

Simms . . . has struggled in the area of special teams . . .

What, is he the gunner on the punt return team? Maybe he doesn't set the ball well for field goals. Is Cortez in Tampa?

 

[dboyz]

I'm surprised LaTuna didn't edit the post for grammar, spelling and clarity. LOL

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Obviously the Bucs ship there fans in on small buses.

Sure there is. That's why it's a push between the two high quality QB's.

As for JJ's injury history, you might want to tell Cadillac the same thing. Didn't he miss two games last year? And only carry the ball 10-12 times in several others.

When you're up by 20+ in those games, it's good to save some ammo for later.

I'd take Cadillac over Jones too, but it isn't a big difference based on actual performance yet.

On the contrary, poke, Cadillac, as I mentioned, is in the Hall of Fame already. Where's Julius except for part owner of a popular refreshment?
