Why does Bledsoe get a free pass?

[Concord]

I gave him a pass this week because he's played damn good for us this season and If Cortez hits the field goal..Bledsoe dosen't have to throw, we win!

Now I wasn't happy with the INT but Bledsoe has earned a pass this week..Cortez hasn't!

PS...I wanted Henson to start this season..So right NOW...I'm happy with Bledsoe.

He has a 95 qb rating on the season and is top 5 in basically every category.

Its about the season as a whole not just one week.
That was a stupid throw and he obviously has been the type of guy who presses when the talent around him falters so it does bear watching but there is zero reason to complain about what we have gotten thus far from him.

Only the truly daft would criticize him beyond noting how stupid that throw was. We couldn't pass block a lick Sunday. If it wasn't our tackles getting beat it was out interior guys holding. It was just a bad day by the OL and then a really sad play call followed by a stupid decision by Bledsoe.

Drew Bledsoe IS ALWAYS going to make his pass protection look worse than what it actually is... Always. He just can't move and he takes to long to release the football which drives up the sacks figure.

So you think, other than one bad throw, Bledsoe played like a Pro Bowler on Sunday? Speaking of daft.....

Yes, the rest of the team had problems on Sunday. Yes, Bledsoe played well prior to Sunday. Bledsoe did not play well Sunday and he is not above reproach.

Your quote:

Perhaps because idiotic throw aside he has been playing pro bowl level football.

I simply disagreed. I don't think he played at a Pro Bowl level at all on Sunday and that INCLUDES the stupid throw at the end.

I'm hardly a Bledsoe basher. I thought it was a good signing all things considered. However, he played bad on Sunday. He isn't above criticism if he plays bad. No one is in my book.

was 11/26, 100 yds or so, 0 tds and 3 picks with a QB rating of like 16 the line of a probowl QB?

that would be the great Mike Vick in Monday's performance...and unlike Bledsoe, who's had one bad game...Vick has been horrendous basically every week

You won't get any arguments from me there. I think Vick is a lousy passer who gets way too many excuses.

I think people mistakenly believe that since I criticize Bledsoe's poor performance that I am criticizing him in general. Not true, prior to Sunday he played very, very well. On Sunday, he played lousy.

Same old BS with Bledsoe, when we came from behind to win at the end of a game it's all Bledsoe and when he flat out gives a game away at the end it's everyone's fault. GUTLESS wonders indeed.

Grasping at straws on this one Jimmy. I will not argue that someone on this board may feel what you just described, but that is hardly the feelings of most.

I am sure you might want to say that I place no blame on Bledsoe, which is absolutely untrue. However, my point is not that Bledsoe did not have a big part of the loss, because he did. My point is that many want to excuse the two minute collapse of the D since they played so well the first 58 minutes.

If it was the D first time to collapse like that I would be much more forgiving. Aberration you might say. However, it has been somewhat of a trend and that concerns me.
