Of course regarding Bledsoe. I am a former sufferer of Bledsoe. When Brady came in, my football life suddenly got better.
My thoughts. One thing I know is Bledsoe would never, ever take you to the promised land. Never. Of that I am sure. It is not just that he is immobile, it is also the case that he does not stand up to pressure, takes too long to get rid of the ball, and the biggest problem, he cannot -- or look for a secondary receiver - oh, and did I mention he cannot read defenses. You are well rid of him if he is gone for good. We threw him out the door, Buffalo threw him out the door, and if the rumor is true, he is letting himself out the door this time. No loss, trust me as a New England fan. And I didn't watch him on TV, I had to sit in the stands and watch him. On again, off again Bledsoe. Oh, except if it counts, then it is always OFF again.
Now many people will continue to support him in Dallas. That was the case in New England and Buffalo. No offense to anyone, but do those people know football??? Don't worry about it. I never looked back.
As far as Romo, he is mobile. The tight end no longer has to be just a blocker (big plus). The problem is that he needs some on field experience. Looks like he can read a defense, has a pretty good arm, and adds some leadership. What I saw last night was a guy trying to force the ball into the secondary. Simply stated bad decision making. That being said Bledsoe has the same problem and how darn long has he been playing??? Give Romo a shot. If he continues to start (most likely will), and is making the same dumb mistakes by the end of the year, time to look to the draft for a QB. Still doesn't change the fact that Bledsoe is a bum. As they say, move on already.
As far as Parcells, I give him a lot of credit for making that move last night. He just should have done it at the beginning of the year. As you know, we in New England had Parcells as a coach and he brings a lot of positives. On the negative side, he likes to have players around him that he knows. Rolling the dice is something very hard for him to do. Give the guy credit for making this move (although I am sure Jones put a little pressure on). But I was also glad when Parcells moved on. Belichick puts the best players on the field. Bledsoe was benched in his prime. I am not sure Parcells would have done that.
Well, just my two cents. Been there, done that. But I would give this new kid a shot. Practice and a real game are two different worlds. He has the physical skills, now is the development of the mental skills. Bledsoe just never seemed to get that part!!!
