Possible Teams For Bledsoe To Start For In 2007

[Cowboy4ever]

I think deadslow is done with as a starter. He might get a gig somewhere, like oakland and be the .500 Qb he has been in Dallas but as a quality starting QB, he is done. I would not be against him sticking around here and being the Back up next year, which I am not completely ruling out. If BP comes back, it will be because he really thinks this team as a good shot at a SB,, and if that is the case, DB might stick around for another ring.

Yep...and another Bledsoe hater enters the discussion. :laugh1:

THE Bledsoe Hater dude!

A no.1

I'm the man that made it all go!

While others were going into rapture over this guy and heading off into the bathroom for a private moment I was the one that brought, dare I say it? "Reality" to the board.

And after a year and a half who was right and who was wrong?

Cha-ching!










You know that really felt good having a "Nors" moment like that! And no I don't hate Bledsoe I'm sure he's a great human being he just sucks as an NFL QB.

Then you need to come back to reality. Obviously you have some issue with Bledsoe that is not related to his playing.

Right now, Bledsoe is arguably better than quite a few starting qbs in this league (e.g., Alex Smith, Brunell, Pennington, Harrington, Walter, Frye, Losman... and I think he could be better than Brad Johnson in that system). And he is sure as hell better than any backup in the league (although I'm sure someone will throw Schaub out there). Now there is certainly an argument that a team might want to stick with a younger qb in order to help him grow, so several of those teams would go with the inferior quarterback to develop them. But, nevertheless, only an idiot would say that Bledsoe is not talented enough to be a backup to those inferior quarterbacks.

That you think he wouldn't find work as a backup is absurd and shows that you make your "honest" statements based on personal prejudice instead of objective analysis.

The only question of whether Bledsoe plays next year is whether he can find a team that will guarantee him a starting role. I think he would retire instead of being a backup. I don't think any team guarentees him a starting role with the exception of the Raiders (although with their line, that would be a bad idea).

really better check that again

Bledsoe's QBR 69.2 comp % 53.3
Smith 84.8 - 59.8
Brunnell 90.4 - 64.1
Pennington 82.3 - 62.4
harrington 64.1 - 58.9
Walter 49.0 - 47.3 and he is the backup
Frye 68.8 - 62.3
Losman 78.9 - 61.9

Listen honey you really need to check your facts before you jump...

Old German proverb: make sure you have your brain engaged before putting your mouth in gear...

I have only one agenda on this forum and that is the Dallas Cowboys...

the original poster would like to know what we thought...whether we liked Bledsoe or not... but to give my honest opinion and that is what I did...

I don't think he is done....I KNOW he is done in fact over done and has been even before he got here...if this should somehow not be the case and he goes somewhere and actually helps bring a team a superbowl I will most certainly be glad to admit I read the guy wrong...but this has no chance of happening it is probably the only absolute in the entire universe...

now do go run along and play dear

44000 yards, 30+ 4th quarter comebacks, a 4-3 playoff record and 251 career TD's say otherwise.....but yes you are the #1 drew hater on this board. Hopefully you will still make the trip to Canton when Drew is immortalized forever though.

 

[Zaxor]

We were a 3-2 football team before Drew was pulled by our idiot head coach as a desperate move to save his overrated legacy. The guy wins everywhere he goes and soon will be turning around his FOURTH Nfl franchise in 2007....take it to the bank!

As for Romo I truly hope he is the real deal, because if not this will be the biggest blunder this franchise has ever made.

the guy is a .500 QB look for yourself...unless of course you look at playoffs where he is horrid

 

[L-O-Jete]

Well, the only way to do this right is to break down the NFL so ...

Pats - Brady
Jets - Pennington
Bills - Losman. Gave up on Bledsoe for Losman, so he's not going back.
Dolphins - Wasted money and time on Culpepper and Harrington. Plus no OL.

Ravens - McNair. Possiblility though if McNair is done after the season.
Bengals - Palmer.
Browns - Frye.
Steelers - Roethelisberger.


Colts - Peyton.
Jags -Leftwich. Also, they could use Garrard, he's good.
Titans - Young.
Texans - Carr.

Broncos - Cutler will start next year.
Chargers - Rivers.
Cheifs - Green. and Huard may have earned himself some more time for the future.
Raiders - Possible, but no OL. He'd get destroyed.

Giants - Eli.
Cowboys - Romo.
Eagles - McNabb.
Commanders - Burnell or Campbell.

Bears - Grossman
Vikings - Johnson and they like their backup alot, I forget his name though. But I guess it's a possibility and they have a very good OL.
Lions - Kitna and McCown.
Packers - If they're gonna go with a old QB that throws a ton of picks, atleast go with one the fans love. Plus Aaron Rodgers is waiting in the wings.

Saints - Brees.
Falcons - Vick and Schaub.
Bucs - Simms and Gradkowski.
Panthers - Delhomme

Seahawks - Hasselback
49ers - Smith
Cardinals - Leinart
Rams - Bulger and that Fitzpatrick kid did good in limited time last year.

So that leaves us with Ravens, Raiders, or Vikings. The only one I even see as a very good possibility is the Ravens and that's pending on McNair leaving or retiring.

What do ya'll think?

Like your analysis maybe I'd add Browns, not sold on Frye

 

[gbrittain]

I just feel that Drew got a raw deal, not that I'm not rooting for Romo to be successful....but this team was 3-2 when he was benched despite his 'poor' play.

You don't think that GM's around the league aren't going to realize this and know he could be a great signing especially if he sits the rest of the season and doesn't take a beating behind our crap line?

First of all, I understand you are a big fan of Drew and he plays for the Cowboys so we should all wish him well.

However, Drew did not get a raw deal. He is a very flawed QB specially at the age of 34. If you can not see how the team responsded to Romo versus Bledsoe, I got nothing for you. It is like screaming at a blind man to look at something.

I keep hearing about his 3-2 record, but failure to mention that he beat three teams with a combined record of 6-15.

You keep saying GMs are going to see this and that. First of all, what GMs have you been talking to lately. The only GMs who have revealed their hand about what they think of Bledsoe are the GMs of New England, Buffalo and now Dallas.

You refuse to listen. People including myself have been saying Bledsoe is not playing well since the beginning of the year. You refused to acknowledge that.

Finally, BP benches Bledsoe. Evidently there is something to Bledsoe not playing well dont you think.

Did you forget the 201 INT he has thrown right along with the 251 TD? A decent QB has a 2to 1 ratio.. not a 1 to 1, that makes for a .500 QB, which he is.

For example, Brady: 137 TD and 70 Int.. that is how you get to be great,, 2 to 1.. not 1 to 1.

Oh let'em rant.

He's grasping at straws.

The "Drew Bledsoe" statue that all these guys were making at the start of the year is permanently discontinued.

The only reason the team was 3-2 is because they played crappy teams...You think Bledsoe could have played well against the panthers?

 

[Billy Bullocks]

Andrew Walter and Aaron Brooks both suck....so they are going to need a QB regardless. If their defese keeps it up they will be in the hunt next year and a veteran like Drew would be the best option.

The biggest thing here is that Randy Moss has become a forgotten man in this league and Bledsoe is exactly what he needs to revitalize his career and become a top receiver again. Only problem is that Gallery is another Mike Williams type of bust and their oline is going to need serious work in the offseason if Drew is signed.

Oakland has a pretty bad OL. Bledsoe would get beat down on that team. His arm would work well with Moss, but I think teams don't really have too much faith left in DB period

I support the Romo move, but if you are going to argue against Bledsoe at least be fair.

Bledsoe's INT ratio is not 1 to 1 and is not a particularly poor ratio historically. You can find a lot of QB's in history, including HOFers and many considered to be elite for their time, that have a similar or worse TD/INT ratio.

And almost no one has a 2 to 1 TD to INT ratio - much less a merely "decent" QB - your comment in that regard is blatently false.

 

[bobtheflob]

I really do think he retires after this year. Raiders fans I've talked to don't want anything to do with him. I really don't see them as being a QB away from being a playoff team so it just doesn't make much sense.

I could see him pulling a Vinnie and coming out of retirement sometime next season because someone gets injured and a team deperately needs a QB.

I'm not sure Raider fans get to make the call.

If fans made the call Vinny never would have come to Dallas.

 

[Thick 'N Hearty]

I can see him playing for Calgary or Winnipeg

 

[The Fonz]

I realy hate to see Drew gone he is such a nice person, but the cowboys had no choice but to do it.Drew needs a team with strong OL . I can see him being with Raiders next year. unless he retire and join our coaching staff

 

[Cowchips]

Big picture with Bledsoe. He gives a team respectability and helps the fans have some hope. Any perenial 2 win team that knows Bledsoe can get them to 500 or slightly better will be happy.

So, here ya go.

Texans
Detroit
Raidahs
San Francisco
Miami
Buffalo (Losman is a waste)
Cleveland
Baltimore
Green Bay

Any of those teams would take Bledsoe and draft their next starter to learn from him for 2 years. Look what it did for Brady and Romo.

Now your talking. Back up qb and quarterbacks coach.

 

[Cowboy Bill Watts]

The Raiders or the Texans if they give up on Carr and draft another QB in the first round and don't want to start him right away.

i really think that either carr or bledsoe will end up in oakland next year.

 

[Cowchips]

Yeah, aging QBs that historically throw for 3,600 yds, 23 tds and 17 ints and end up with their team missing the playoffs by 1 game or by tie breakers are not worth considering when your current QB is a household name like Smith, Losman, Harrington, etc and your team is stuck under 5 wins year in and year out.

Bledsoe with an understudy learning the ropes from him worked out pretty well for NE and now Dallas. I think that is how I would be approaching it as GM of one of the cellar dwellers.

Any team that looks at Brady and Romo have to realize Drew had a lot to do with their growth into the starting role.
