I'm sick and tired of the bashing and pessimism about this team!

[CowboyPrincess]

The mention of the name Hogeboom...still gives me stomach cramps.

Hogeboom, Hogeboom, Hogeboom, Hogeboom, Hogeboom, Hogeboom,

How's your tummy feeling now...:

Look I'm sick and tired of the negativety over this team. I hear the same garbage over and over:

We are too old?

Bledsoe sucks, he's worset than vinny, overrated, finished, blah blah?

The line is too old and overrated?

We have no speed at WR?

The switch to the 3-4 is a mistake?

Anthony Henry was a waste of money?

Terrance Newman is a bust?

Roy Williams can't tackle?

We have the worse linebackers in the league?

Parcells time has passed?

We are too old?

We are no beter than 3rd place in the division?

GIVE ME A BREAK! THIS GARBAGE MAKES ME WANT TO THROW UP!

Look Drew Bledsoe is a solid quarterback first off. He's way better than Vinny, Quincy or any of the other trash that's played the position since Aikman. I'm sick of people knocking this guy when all he's done is pass for 40,000 yards and put up solid numbers his whole career. Is he a statue? Absolutely, but I like his chances on a team better suited and more talented than Buffalo is. That team was a joke. The only reason Bledsoe was cut was to save money and he didn't fit into the game plan. Also their idiot GM don't know how to treat NFL players. Look at the whole Travis Henry thing. Drew will flourish in a parcells system. Julius will be the focal point, and Witten will destroy defenses with Bledsoe finding him downfield. Leave Bledsoe alone and give him a chance before you criticize him.

We had the best offseason in the league. Bringing in proven veterans and drafting key players on defense. If we can go 6-10 during a 'transition' season I have know doubt we can be at least a 10 win team with what we've added. Aaron Glenn was a steal, Ferguson is still a force (both parcells guys by the way). Henry will be an excellent fit despite the critism. Rivera still has a season or two left if his back is ok. Julius Jones should be a beast and lead the NFC in rushing, and if he can't last the season....by the way we did sign a 1000 yard rusher in A-Train Thomas. Witten is entering his prime and it's scary to think of how his numbers will get even better with Drew throwing to him.

The bottom line: Give this team a chance, we are obviously built to win now. I'm not concerned with the deadskins. Eli Manning and the Giants are not on par with us. The Egirls are the only concern, but there time has passeda and all good things must come to an end. Lets get optimistic because Big D is back and it's time to reclaim what is rightfully ours: The NFC East and NFC Superiority. I honestly look at the schedule and see 12-4 written all over it!

I'm tired of the whining about the whining...

Differences of opinion... what a wonderful thing... keeps the world (and this board) from getting boring.

My work here is done..

*sigh*

And to think, before he was kicked off the team he was our savior. Now he's horrid.

Well, I think there's room for argument on this point, but I'm sure you know that.

lol

Quincy was what he was. Bledsoe is what he is. To me, the key here is "was" and "is". Neither is going to go from frog to prince but one is here and one is gone. I'm all for the here and now.

"Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines in my face gettin' clearer
The past is gone;
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way?
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin;
You got to lose to know how to win.



Words to live by IMO.

Finally somebody that makes sense answers my post

I think the problem is most cowboys fans are delusional and actually believe that Buffalo had a good team, and that is why Drew is supposedly a bad QB. But then again he had a career year in 02', but struggled in 03'(when his weapons were taken away), and then started off slow in 04' and then caught fire down the stretch when buffalo's younger players on offense provided help.

The bottom line is that line is atrocious in Buffalo. So if drew could manage average numbers 2 out of 3 years there, he will definitely do well playing with a real line and a tight end. Quincy Carter is a bum, and if he took this team to the playoff's, logic tells me Drew should take us to the NFC Championship at worse. But once again it's all about the Defense and running game, that is what will ultimately determine our fate.

You must not read this board much. Lots of knowlegable fans here. You do them a diservice by regurgitating what has been discussed many times over and then basically telling us that we are delusional and basically, don't know what were talking about.

If you stay long enough, I think you'll find that much of what you just said is not true at all.

I wish you luck with this.

I love seeing people I don't know throw hissy fits on an internet message board.

:laugh2:


Chill man. I think we did good this year.

 

[The30YardSlant]

He was never my savior, I guess he must have been yours. Sorry I did not cry over Steve Puller,Gary Hogeboom and Chad Hutchinson why in the hell would I be upset about Carter.

Nor was he mine, but Lord knows he was to far to many in Cowboy nation. The fact is, he was young, mobile, and had a good arm. Bledsoe only has one of those qualities. If you give Bledsoe 10-15 seconds in the pocket, he is one of the best QBs in football, I'll give you that.

The Bills are not a joke. That's the extremist flipside of blaming everything on Bledsoe.

A quarterback's best friend is always his defense...a friend Quincy had, for example, in '03, but Vinny lacked in '04. I don't recall where the Bills D finished statistically, but it may be as high as three or four.

The oline wasn't exactly sterling, but I've seen much worse, and there were weapons. That idiot GM knows he has to win this year or it's HIS arse, and thinks he has a good enough team to win with Losman. That should tell us something about the brain(less) trust's view of the quality of the Bills' bus..their feeling was it might not be a team as good as the one Rothelisberger was able to shine on in Pittsburgh, but there is obviously faith enough horses are in place, for a kid QB to do okay. When a GM's job is hanging in the balance, and he is as ruthless as Tom Donahoe, you know he ain't trusting the bus to a second year QB unless that player gives him a better chance to survive than what he had. Bledsoe's release was not just "to save money".

Bledsoe has skills, and he most certainly IS the best QB in Dallas since Aikman. But pooh-poohing away his past failures does nothing to convince anyone he will suceed here.

Let’s talk about his mobility; the guy could not hit the side of the barn while on the run. Elusive I'll give that to you but the guy scared the crud out of me when he would take off and try throwing the ball on the run. I also got sick of watching passes either to low or behind the WR going over the middle seldom could carter hit a moving target and allow the WR to make a run after the catch. I understand Bledsoe liabilities and do not see him as some savior but I do think we can win with him and allow this team more time to develop one of the 2 young QB sitting in the wings.

 

[The30YardSlant]

It all depends on our O-line, as Bledsoe needs about as much time as any QB in football to throw the ball and cant run to save his mother's life. Bledsoe's knock his whole career has been holding onto the ball too long.

I never said we cant win with him, I think we can win 9-10 games, but so could Quincy. This whole "wait till next year for a franchise QB" is scaring the crap out of me. We have so much young talent being wasted while waiting for a QB to lead them.

HAHA!

Poor guy.

All I know is the "joke" Bills played a final season game against second and third team Steelers that would have and should have seen them enter the playoffs.

But somebody self-destructed.

(And no BledsoetoWitten..I'm not saying that will happen here.)

I suggest another hobby because every opinion is valid, even the ones who are worried, even the ones that don't like moves that were made, even ones that think the sky is falling.

Every opinion is welcome here, even the Kool-aid drinking, rose colored sunglasses wearing, Pollyanna style versions that think only people who sing "Kumbaya" are real fans of the team.

It's "America's Team" thus the Constitution still prevails and Freedom of Speech abides.

Careful Hos, that runs close to needing to move this to the political forum.

BledsotoWitten: I agree. "That is why they play the game." People who can predict the future need to quit their job and move to Vegas.
