Official "Give drew his props" thread

[BrAinPaiNt]

Putting down a guarenteed 1st ballot HOFer who won 3 Super Bowls for this team to make Bledsoe look better was to much for me.

He was not putting down Aikman...and only people that dislike drew would take it that way.

Get over it...don't like bledsoe so be it.

 

[Dogstar]

Ill second that and hope that it continues.

Here, here!

He's just mad, because Favre won't be coming to Dallas now.

All hail to king Bledsoe

I've never understood the anti-Bledsoe stuff, to be honest. The local news here in San Antonio did a thing earlier this week on why Bledsoe isn't the answer.

The guy is going to be in the Pro Bowl this season, will finish with one of the best individual performances at the position statistically in the last 15 years, and could take our team to the postseason. He has weaknesses -- ton of them -- but he has more than enough strengths to balance them all out. We'll need to find an eventual replacement since he's toward the end of his career, but there's no reason why he can't be our starter for at least two more seasons. The guy's a real good player.

Exactly...some fans just don't get it.

as everyone i'm sure noticed, Drew was moving around quite a bit more - stretching the pocket a bit before stepping up into his throws. some of the passes were straight timing passes like Aikman used to throw, and he did a great job on the read getting Glenn the ball on that TD - though he probably looks to Glenn first on nearly every pass play...
way to come thru with a great game, and congrats on the all-time chart climbing. as it stands i'll take Drew over any other realistic option for '06.

Dallas is only 1 game out of the 2nd Bye:

Plus, KC is going to rip NYG a new one while Dallas does the same to the skins!

#1, Great job by the coaching staff today for giving what a lot of us have wanted, and that's to stop with so much max protect and put more receivers in the route and rely on the QB and his targets to put some pressure on the defense, not vice versa. Drew made some tremendous throws today, but I don't don't think any of us have quesioned his ability to do that...

#2, Great job by Drew, Glenn, Witten, Barber and everyone else, OL included for making it work. This is the way this team should play football regardless of the defensive strength of the opponent. Let's hope we continue to play this way on into the playoffs.

Great win today!

 

[SuspectCorner]

drew has next-to-zero mobility. but if he's given adequate time he will make opponents pay. today he was given adequate time.

we knew he'd need protection when he signed on the line. and since then he's delivered, IMO, way more than we had any reasonable expectation for.

in short, the cowboys have gone as far as drew has. he is the cowboys. like it. hate it. it's the truth. and it will continue to be for what remains of this season.

 

[big_neil]

he is the cowboys. like it. hate it. s'truth.

I'm likin' it!

I just want to say that I added my avatar before todays game.

Putting down a guarenteed 1st ballot HOFer who won 3 Super Bowls for this team to make (a guaranteed 1st or 2nd ballot HOFer and player of the game) look better was to much for me.

It does seem silly

Yeah but there's 6 teams within 1 game of that second round bye. It's gonna take some magic for that to work out.

But if the Cowboys do their part and win these next three it could happen. Carolina's gonna be tough....

I just want to say that I added my avatar before todays game.

And I just want to say that you are the quintessential Patriots fan.

Instead of getting a dig in at those you consider Johnny-come-latelies, how about just appreciating the good vibes tonight and praying they last thru next weekend?

 

[big_neil]

The guy is going to be in the Pro Bowl this season

I think this game sealed the deal. The voting ends this week, and the while Drew leads the NFC QBs in fan voting, that only counts as 33%. After todays game I would think the coaches will realize that Drew's rating is at a career high and will want to give the fans what they want.

 

[Jack-Reacher]

He's just mad, because Favre won't be coming to Dallas now.

LOL.... That is funny!!

 

[big_neil]

Drew's season rating now stands at a career high 89.5. With the Rams to finish the season, he has a shot at his first 90 rated season. Troy did it twice - in 95 and 99.

[big_neil]

Note that Troy had exactly the same rating - 89.5, in the one year he had 20+ TDs. Drew needs 3 TDs 3 INT and 300 yards in 3 games to match that season exactly. (oh and a SB).

 

[Maikeru-sama]

I told you guys not to jump off Drew Bledsoe's bandwagon just yet.

He gives us the best chance to win and is best quarterback to play here since Troy retired.

If this guy is hurt, banged up, hell even kidnapped this team is Sub .500.
