I understand what you’re saying but taking it out on Bledsoe because of a couple of posters is a bit extreme. Myself I still like the potential of Henson and hope for the best with him but in the meantime having a QB like Bledsoe is very nice to have.
you're absolutely right. *IN HERE* i take it out on bledsoe cause that's where the fight starts and i try to keep it here. bledsoe's ever-so-much-fun bounce passes and the like are my "pain points" probably like most neutral fans.
out in the real world i just don't care and simply don't care for bledsoe. i never thought he was a good pick up and unless he wins a superbowl to prove me wrong (or can accept responsiblity for his role in a 2nd half collapse vs somehow flo is now the issue for last year, and whatever happened before) i'm more or less "right" in how i feel about bledsoe.
good qb, not stellar. can't pick up a team to win on his own shoulders and for whatever reason, tends to lose it late in the season. sometimes it's not his fault, but it can't *always* be w/o blame to him.
he loves the long ball to the point where he'll wait it out but he's not quick enough (or alert enough) to keep people away from him while the play develops into it's 8th second where even the rodeo's have buzzers for the cowboys.
if we had a line better than "servicable" i'd feel like he had a shot to do all the things he can do, which *are* many. with the line we have i just see him trying to do it on his own again, see my above critique, and he'll crack.
all his fault? nope. bp knows this about him too and *could* have made more of an attempt to get a valid stud on that line. now we're sans draft to help, FA is over and all we have left are vet cuts and lords knows that's all we need - a few more 30+ 300lb guys out there.
as a person i don't hate bledsoe at all - don't know the man. as a qb for the cowboys, i hate him *in that position* cause of his own history.
having someone work so hard (all the time knowing they're only fanning flames, not really believing it) to convince the world he's really a HOF QB doesn't help, no.
now - is he the best qb we could have had here? maybe. that's forever debatable, never winnable. my own choice would have been griese and more of an open competion to see where things could fall.
in the end, we've got bledsoe and how i feel really doesn't matter, does it? i hope he does well, i hope we have a good season and yea, i hope i can put a lot of katsup on that crow should this be *our year*. but if it's not i hope we say goodbye to parcells and bledsoe and try another road.
but yes - we are a better team in most areas today than 4 years ago - esp. defense. i just don't think defense was needing as much attention as it got at the expense of offense.
