What should we really expect from Bledsoe?

There's a reason this guy is a 500% qb for his career, and it's not because he's great when he wins and the team sucks when he loses. He is what he is. What should we really expect? Seriously?

I think you mean .500. 500% is pretty amazing.

his recievers have to get open, and not drop passes that hit them in the hands...The didnt get open today and they dropped passes.

I blame a lot of this on the wet, slick field...if no one is open, and you get pressure nearly every play...any QB is gonna look terrible...

I wouldnt sell him out just yet

he needs a line to give him time, and receivers to get open


To an extent you're right. But Bledsoe needs perfect protection to be effective and that just isn't always realistic.

I was actually starting to believe he was 500% after some of the posts on this forum about him the last few weeks. ;)

I think the real expliotation here is our offense cant play in adverse weather...

our recivers cant get open on a wet, slick field...

our QB cant make accurate passes with a wet ball and bad footing...

the rain and wet field was an X factor that should not be an excuse...cause Pros have to overcome that kind of stuff..and many have.

And (this is NO slap at MB2 and TT), he needs a run game that takes a LOT of heat off him.

Yep... this was a typical post from one person.


6,800 yards... 82 TD's... 3 Ints.

all Bledsoe needs is 3 seconds, with his receivers getting open, if noone is getting open, who cares what kind of protection he's getting? it's not like Seattle's pass-rush is our's of last year, they can get to the QB

I hope you're right. Petitti is going to have to step up next week because Tucker is gonna need help with Barry.

Absolutely. If you have to really on Bledsoe to carry the team and you're in deep, deep trouble.

We rushed for 164 yards and 4.2 yards per carry today, what more do you want from the running game?

Bledsoe just sucked. He was missing guys left and right. Witten was wide opened in the endzone on that play where Bledsoe scrambled late in the game.

But were we looking at eight in the box all day?

This was one gut-wrenching loss.

Cortez sucks, he's gotta go. Larry allen should have smacked him again for even looking at Romo cross ways.

We've got to put the ball the ball in the end zone on those two fourth quarter possessions. Can't keep running it and have to try to make a play on 3rd down when the field is short.

We got out-coached in this one.

When you are running as well as we ran, the defense starts bringing people up.

Officially they are 3-2 in games where Bledsoe has a chance for a 4th quarter game winning drive.

Is 4.2 a little more than JJ has averaged for his career?
