If Parcell's is smart..Bledsoe will be here and he'll use what he's saving on his QB cost to get 2 more o-linemen and TO. If you do that, you'll be talking about Drew Bledsoe being the best qb in Dallas history.

The Best ? No way.

Bledsoe doesn't have a hope in hell of ever being called the best QB in Dallas history.

That's a good one. Thanks for the good laugh! You have a bright future in comedy.

You absolutely cannot be serious about Bledsoe being called the best QB in Dallas history. Remember guys named Staubach and Aikamn? Those guys each won multiple superbowls and combined for 5 championships. Given an OL Bledsoe there's no reason to think that Bledsoe couldn't possibly take us to a superbowl, but even if he were to win us a championships there is no way Bledsoe will ever be regarded as the best in Dallas history.

TO made Mc5 look like Joe Namath, FWIW. :D

Well, the way I see it. Vinny had a good half year, and Bledsoe had a good half year. Bring Vinny back and he can have his good half year, then we put Bledsoe in and he can have his good half-year. That will make a full good year at QB right?

Don't know what to do about the QB position. I don't have confidence in Bledsoe when the chips are down. I don't have confidence in either Romo or Henson. Where to turn now? Phillip Rivers going to be available? Quinn from N.D.? (He'll be gone by the time we pick) Favre? (Please God no) What other washed up QB is Parcells going to pull out of the woodwork?

Frankly-I don't have confidence in Peyton Manning either when his LT plays like horse-rubbish. :rolleyes:

Unlikely, but if Drew had a 97 rating for the first half of this year, it's not out of the question he could do it for a whole season. Only once did Staubach have a rating that high for a season (104 in 1973), and only once did Aikman have a higher rating (99 in 1993).

Petitti and Tucker need to keep their guys off of Bledsoe.

All the Bledsoe whiners will be eating crow tonight after we win. Ya'll prolly just give credit to everyone but Drew.

Exactly - if we win, Hostile will say something like "Julius Jones had 110 yards rushing - that is why we won. Not because Drew had 4 TDs"

Even if our special teams blocks 4 kicks for TDs-I'll take the win in this crucial game regardless.

And if Drew sucks and folds under pressure what will you say? Oh I know, "it's the 'O' line".

When Drew has the time to throw today let's see how he looks. He will be given opportunities to throw and we will see. I think he will have a good day today. However, I think he will choke chunks when we play Washington and Carolina only because he will see the one thing that is his Kryptonite. PRESSURE!!!!!!!

It's amazing how everyone here threw stones at Flo over the last year.

It's amazing how everyone here started celebrating with glee when he went down for the year.

It's amazing how everyone here keeps over-looking his loss. No-no OL is perfect. But without a decent blind-sided tackle, the entire line WILL be crippled.

Ahh, the Panthers may bring HEAT but the Foreskins have absolutely NO pass rush at all, NONE.

More good news-the Panthers DL is banged up now. Rucker won't be playing today, and Peppers is still a go, despite a sprained ankle.

The problem is Tuna that a lot of the pressure comes right up the middle when Drew is QB'ing because he has no lateral movement when he drops back. Where he plants his feet is usually where he stays. This not only makes the problem of not having Flo available greater, it also makes everyone's job that much harder to perform. It also makes the job of the rushing defense to rush him because he isn't even going to side step anyone.

The bottom line is this. Drew is what he is (as Summerisfunner made quite clear earlier). Teams know that. We all know that. The only option that will get more production out of Drew is to protect him at all cost because he brings nothing else but his arm to the table. Drew responds to pressure like a rookie and if you hit him a couple of times he will start with the River Dance in one spot and start throwing erratic passes. This is not new. The whole league knows this as well. This is why he was dropped for a rookie in Buffalo and for a youngster in NE. who is now known as a CLUTCH QB. Clutch is something that over his career Drew has never been known as. Sure he's had clutch moments but so has Hutch in his short stay with the Boys as well as QC and any other QB.

A season is not told in the first 6 games of a season for the most part. The season starts to take shape once all teams have revealed their strategies to the league. Teams are able to better plan for the opponents which means that the coaching staff and the players have to be able to adjust. The great coaches and players can adjust in adverse situations. Unfortunately, Drew just hasn't been able to adapt and overcome when teams make adjustments on him.

Numbers aside, we who watch the game and not the stats understand what it is we are seeing.

He is what he is.

He blows up tomorrow...there's no reason to bring him back next season - NONE.

And from that point forward he becomes a Clipboard guy....that's the harsh reality and truth of the NFL.

Get it done or Get out - you shoulder shrugging schmuck.
ridiculous statement.
