Please stop bashing our starting QB

[raichledog]

Don't try and spin it or change the subject......I simply stated that Deware isn't as good of an overall athlete as Merriman and stand by that. Doesn't mean that I don't like him, but I would have made a different pick on draft day...

I do however bash busty carpenter because he's not a starter or back up calibur player and a waste of roster space.

LMAO!!! Actually you clearly stated that while Merriman had "IT" Ware didn't. You went into some bs rant about how you are some kind of semi-pro scout and that you know SO much about professional athletes that if you worked for the Cowboys they wouldn't have the troubles they have.

You crack me up bro, you don't want people to bash a guy who you could easily argue deserves it, but you want to bash a guy who is productive and is on his way to being a great player.

Just funny how you think.

What I don’t understand is why many of you feel the need to label Bledsoe with a nickname? The bleedslow, deadslow etc etc. Whether you want him starting or not he is for now the starting QB.

I am all for youth and preparing for the future, and I want to see Romo succeed as much as the next guy, but does your desire to see a particular player over another really lead you to 5th grade name calling? Bledsoe, like it or not is a QB in the NFL. You on the other hand are still sitting on your couch watching the games. You don’t have to like the guy, but I think that as a member of the team you profess to love, you would show at least a modicum of respect.

Maybe that is too much to ask from the fickle nature of a "fan".

I have never shied from the fact that I like Bledsoe, and I still believe that he should be starting. Aside from my personal opinions on who should be the starting QB, I for one would appreciate some more class when opposite sides of this debate argue over it.

Ok, this debate should be resolved come Monday. If Drew implodes for the third time against a good team even his most ardent supporters should come to terms with whether Drew will be an asset or liability this season.

I doubt that will happen. The denial is deeply rooted. I hope we win this game because at the core I am a Cowboys fan period. However, I am far beyond being supportive of DB. I've seen enough of his act to last me for the rest of my life. Leaf... QC... Vinny... Bledsoe... God, when will this hangover go away?

 

[Martice]

There's nothing that Romo has done that warrants starting on a playoff calibur team over a proven veteran....Bledsoe looked great in the preseason as well against starters....and look at what has happened so far in two tough games that matter.....you honestly think Romo would have gone into hostile environments like jax and philly and did any better? Get a clue!

Just like how Henson was 'lighting it up' in NFLE....that really propelled his career to great things didn't it? :laugh1:

Hi S.A.S., Unfortunately, I don't agree with you totally on this one. Romo hasn't done anything to warrant starting for a "playoff caliber" team yet but he has proven that he can do one thing that Drew can only do in his dreams and that is buy time in the pocket. With a struggling 'O' line, they too need a little help when things get hairy. Drew is not capable of helping any 'O' line and in turn that puts pressure on the whole offense. Whitten can't go out on pass plays, MB can't go out either, we can only send 2 receivers out on patterns everytime he gives the "cut" signal at the line. He is a complete liability when the going gets tough and provides little in return.

Many on this board feel that they have seen enough of Drew and his antics and that any serious playoff push with Drew at the helm is even a longer shot than Romo coming in and playing well.

Come on. Do you really think that we can go to the Super Bowl with Drew at the helm? If you do, than I really hope you are right and to be honest, stranger things have happened so it is possible. However, if the Drew scenario is at all possible, then the thought of Romo having success with our offense is not that far a reach either. Like I said earlier, stranger things have happened and far less likely scenarios play out each year in the NFL.

Dont ya mean a Tonya Harding?

 

[mwj473]

we can only send 2 receivers out on patterns everytime he gives the "cut" signal at the line.

Why does everyone keep saying that the "kill, kill" slash means max protect? Just because Aikman said so in the Philly game? It is simply not true. BP said at one time last year (I can't remember when), sometimes 2 plays are called in the huddle, a primary and a secondary play. If DB comes up and wants to switch off to the 2nd play based on the defense, he gives the signal. DB gave the signal once this past weekend and they ran the ball.

As long as Bledsoe continues to suck, then i'll continue to bash him.

What are you? New? Brand New? Kid, this is a blog where free speech and name calling is our constitution! No cursing allowed but everything else is fair in blog and war. For the record Drew Bledsoe sucks! Bleedslow sucks! Deadslow sucks! Romo rocks!

Im sure we are all civil americans who abide by the law. But try being Ward Cleaver on your own time! The purpose of THIS website is to release our unmitigated opinions. If you cant hang then go drive your pink cadillac to another site.

And if you are friends with Deadslow...the next time you see him, kiss him on the cheek for me and tell hiim I said hello.

Go Cowboys!

 

[cml750]

Come on everyone quit believing your lying eyes. Bledsoe is the best QB in the world. Every interception he throws is not his fault. Everytime he pats the ball until he is sacked it is not his fault. Everytime he underthrows or overthrows a receiver it is not his fault. Bledsoe hasn't made a single mistake in his career, it is always somebody elses fault. As a matter of fact, I think they should wave the 5 year wait rule for the hall of fame and enshrine the great Drew Bledsoe the very second he retires!!! :laugh2: :laugh2:

 

[Beast_from_East]

I understand that every fan has an opinion, but this is just getting ridiculous. We have a 3-2 record and could very well be in the drivers seat in the NFC Beast after the next 3 weeks.....And of all the things to derive promise or hope from, more than half of the fan base is waiting for Bledsoe to get the hook, so we can mortgage the season with a virtual unkown in Tony Romo? Yes the same guy that nobody cared about when the other 'savior' Drew Henson was on the roster. I'm sick and tired about hearing about how 'mobile' Romo is...big deal so without any blocking up front either he can buy an extra second to still get sacked or make a game killing play?

Some of you 'fans' are so Naive and gullible. It makes me laugh to know that if Tony Romo didn't have such extensive playing time in the pre season than there wouldn't even be an argument going on right now. But everyone saw him do these "amazing" things against no pass rush, vanilla defenses, and scrubs that are now pumping gas and flipping burgers and this becomes enough to crown him our savior. Ironically this is basically from the same group of fans that rode Henson's Jock straight to the unemployment line. Newsflash: Remember Danny Wuerfel, his numbers were astronomical and he was a bigger preseason legend than Romo....where is he now I ask?

Why does it seem that cowboy fans are so out of touch with the reality of the NFL. There are some very intelligent fans on this board but its pathetic to see a once-proud cowboy nation get excited in thier pants everytime this team acquires a quarterback via trade or draft. From guys like Anthony Wright Clint Stoernor and Chad Hutchinson to the era of Drew Henson Tony Romo and Jeff Mroz, u almost always see a post with some "hopeful" cowboy fan talking about how special these guys can be, and comparing em to the likes of Kurt Warner Jake Delhomme and Trent Green, trying to convince themselves that the common every day undrafted free agent has what it takes to be the next "guy outta nowhere"....anything to get rid of 'the most overrated QB of all time' despite his gaudy resume and HOF numbers.

Just before pre season there was talk about how great the boys would be this year, and how Well Bledsoe Will play. Some of you guys predicted 30+ TDs, others said 3,800 yards, and now after 2 poor outtings against pass rushes that our O line simply couldn't block ( i'm no rocket scientist, but maybe that was the reason he got sacked) you guys are ready to send him to the pine because unlike last season, you've watched the back up QB play.

So to all you cowboys fans that are blowing this entire situation out of proportion, and are being too stubborn or too lazy to realize that the issues with this team lie far beyond the Quarterback position, i say to you legions of mindless cowboys fans OH WELL. IF BP wants to make a change he will, and if he doesn't want to then u guys gotta deal with it and stop wasting your time posting in "bench bledsoe" threads. Parcells is one of the greatest coaching minds in any professional sport and if he thought Tony Romo could walk on water than believe Bledsoe would be history by now. Please realize how greatful we are to have a capable veteran like Bledsoe and just let the Romo hype die....next year I'm all for an 'open' competition in camp and seeing who emerges as the better man, but 2006 is Bledsoe's show.

:starspin :starspin :starspin

Dude, your arguments are weak and it sounds like you are in denial, seriously. Your boy sucks, everybody in the freaking NFL knows it. Even the great Jimmy Johnson, who most fans give the credit for our SBs, says we are going nowhere with your boy.

Maybe if your boy was not statistically one of the worst QBs in the NFL, the crowd would not be chanting the backup's name.

[Grevus]

I was one of those who believe Bledsoe would have a great year. Last year before Adams got hurt, Bledsoe was great. As the year progressed, Bledsoe didn't do as well and I blamed it on bad Oline play.

With the additional of TO, and Adams back, I expect Bledsoe to have a great year. So far I'm disappointed in his performance. He doesn't look like the same player. This year, he really looks old and slow. His passes aren't as sharp. He looks like he keys on one receiver and that's it. He's taken some really bad sacks and made some really bad throws. Ok, some of them were under pressure.

Now, I'm not saying Romo is the future star QB, but I wouldn't mind taking a look. The next couple of games will tell. If Bledsoe plays well this Monday, a lot more people will shutup, but if he doesn't?

Serioulsy...if this wasnt a free speech blog I would ask that you dont post anymore threads. Your arguments sucks! You dont make any legitimate points and you have the audacity to be critical of some draft picks. Gimme a break kid!

For once give us something that makes sense. These types of sins is what brings down the neighborhood. When we allow "his kind" to post a thread and then have to spend so much time picking up his trash and cutting his yard.

This blog has real fans that know their football! They know their Cowboys! And they know class when they see it.

Bottom line...do better! staramongstars. We expect more!

And you know this....mannnnnnn

 

[sonnyboy]

FOR EVERYONE PARTICIPATING IN THIS THREAD: HERE IS THE TRUTH:

1) Bledsoe is not this posters guy or that posters guy or even Parcells' guy.
He's our guy, he's on the roster and currently our starter. So it's in all our best interest he does well.

2) Threads like this poster started are really about his dislike of any type of subversive behavior. Deal with it my freind.

3) Bledsoe has played poorly in all five games. I don't care what his numbers read in the "blowouts". My eyes don't lie. He's not making enough plays, he's missing to many opportunities. And it's happened in every game! He is a shadow of what he was last year.

4) I'm not the biggest fan of subversive behavior. I'm more of an opptomist who prefers to drink the coolaid. If I'm on board with changing the starting QB mid season, were probably in trouble. And we are!

5) Anyone who has watched all five games and still thinks Bledsoe can lead us to the post-season is dillusional!

Oh please. You've been one of the biggest Bledsoe detractors since the Philly game.

When you said he's played poorly in all 5 games, I stopped reading. You're full of it.

I don't think 'poorly' is a fair word. He's only played poorly in two games. That being said, I don't think he's been more than average the other two games. He hasn't made any great throws, he hasn't gotten a receiver open with his arm, etc. Now, he has suffered an inordinant number of drops, but his footwork is terrifying and his staring down of Terry Glenn is atrocious.

He has not had a dominating game all season. The best I can say about his play is good enough not to beat us.

 

[Crown Royal]

By the way - I promised I stay out of the thread, but I just can't help it. I do want to point out that just because I want the guy benched and have no faith in him, it isn't that I am bashing him. I quite like Bledsoe, think he is a standup guy who wants to win. I even stated in another thread that when all is said and done I feel like he has had a nice career.

Just because I am finished with a player or don't think he is very good any longer, doesn't mean I am bashing him. I just see a guy who can't make the play under pressure, demands more than an NFL OL can provide and isn't capable of being a bus driver QB because too often he wants to make the big throw. I think that it is time to find a QB who can do that.

The argument I keep hearing is that we are giving up on the season if we bench Bledsoe. My argument is that I don't feel we can do what this team is capable of doing with Bledsoe. That isn't an endorsement to Romo - it's an indictment to Drew.

Unless they change the play calling, he's gonna be a sitting duck with our O-line..:bang2:

Sorry man, I can't put this any other way, but this comment is stupid. And makes all your other comments appear stupid. Are you stupid? Or maybe you're just a little over the top in your love for Romo.

 

[Frosty]

Put your money were you post is::::::: put let say 5 grand up and say that Bledsoe won't get a INT nor lets say takes two sacks and will throws for two TD's against the Giants.........better yet THe Cowboys win and bledsoes saves the day with a last minute TD... That would be awesome

THe Odds are historically against you,,my fellow poster.,... I think you get a big howdy doody smile from everyone smiling from the disagree agrement with you....Its easy to call Bledsoe out...I'd love to be wrong but we all have seen Bledsoe play....I am a Big Bledsoe Fan from the early days.. He use tobe good now he's just trying to fight off the enevidble....I was a Bledsoe Fan from the old washington Days then to the NE and Parcels day, But the end is in sight for the gunslinger and that includes FARVE,

I do give all the respect for Drew and his Parenting with Diginity Foundation
its a great foundation... Bledsoe was good in his day's, I hope he finds it again But its leaning towards Romo time...

All well and good except that it comes when the team is 3 -2. You appear willing to turn the season over to a "maybe he'll be great" QB instead of to a guy who's gone 12 - 9 with this team. Has a real grass is greener smack to it that I think is premature.
