I actually had to look up Losman seperately because he wasn't in the top 30 :laugh:

I'm not slamming Losman and I realize it's early but he sure looks horrible and Bledsoe is sure looking like a good fit in Dallas. I think this will be a trade that we look back on in a couple of years in terms of impact. The Cowboys essentially acquired Bledsoe (since Losman ran him out of town), Julius Jones AND Marcus Spears for Losman.

There is one Hater who this thread is designed for and he knows who he is. Still think that scouting dept. in Buffalo are geniuses huuuh buddy!?

Didn't Buffalo basically do the same thing with Rob Johnson?

What is it with that town thinking unproven quarterbacks on their roster is the second coming of Jim Kelly?

[Leonard Washington]

i thought they were stupid to let him go. i always thought bledsoe and testaverde weren't as bad as people thought them to be. these are the kinda qbs, when given time, can read defenses and put the ball anywhere on the field.

[spanishomelette]

I bet they could get Rob Johnson back for a lot cheaper

My fiance is from Buffalo. I was talking to her Brother before the season and told him that while Bledsoe was by no means their QB of the future, they'd be stupid to let him go. He swore up-and-down that Losman would come shooting out of the gate, people were comparing him to Farvre, bla, bla, bla...

Looks like I was right...

[zoony]

Parcells' max protect schemes and devotion to picking up the blitz are an excellent fit for Bledsoe.

So I think that has exagerrated the circumstances somewhat... I don't think Bledsoe fit in with the offensive scheme in Buffalo and what they want to do.

The very least, though, he would be passable (no pun intended) until Losman was ready. I just think they jettisoned him a year too soon is all.

Losman did not run Bledsoe out of town. I don't know why that's so hard to grasp. Bledsoe ran Bledsoe out of town - just like Lavar is running Lavar out of Washington. And I don't recall ever taking a side in the whole Losman/Bledsoe debate if there even was one. All I did was explain the rationale for letting him go in Buffalo and why I felt he would be just as limited as a player in Dallas. I never ever claimed that Buffalo would be better off with Losman.

Bledsoe is off to a great start. He's played better than I thought he was capable of for any real stretch. If he sustains this kind of play, Dallas will make the playoffs and I will admit I was wrong. But before you go popping the bubbly, there's a lot of football to play. And I distinctly remember a scintillating start in Buffalo in 2002 followed by a mediocre finish. Either way - I'll be here to eat or serve crow in December.

Good gms/coaches build there offenses around there qbor get a qb that would fit in their offenses. The bills didn't do that, the cowboys did, and all of a sudden, drew looks like a stud.

Sorry Zoony , but i would not call our blocking scheme a max protect schemes. We do employ alot of 3 WR formations and Witten has some good looking stats this year that indicates he is catch alot of passes. I would just say our O-line is very good and they get a few chip blocks from the TE and WR NOT MAX PROTECT.

You're right.. it's still early. Just checkin on you DD.. you were very passionate about this subject throughout the summer.

I can't remember the show, I think it was 'In Their Own Words'... anyways it showed Parcells on SEVERAL occasions coaching his players harping about the blitz and PROMISING THAT NO MATTER WHAT, WE WILL pick up the blitz.

Look no further than Bledoe's protection this year. It ain't his quick release.

And yes, Gibbs has a max protect scheme as well, and he regularly uses 3 WR. They are not exclusive. Pre snap motion and shifting can solve that...

He also said that "you guys will pray that they blitz".

Meaning they will burn the blitz everytime. Your seeing some of that this year, especially against the eagles.

As far as Bledsoe goes, I have nothing but praise for him. He has been amazing. He has honestly only made one bad throw all year, that being the int for a TD vs the 49ers. His other picks were a great pick by Parrish along the sideline and a hail mary pick against the Raiders.

Really has seemed to solidify and then some our qb position for the next few years.

While Bledsoe's performance had been suprising, he's only has but so much gas left in the tank, the Cowboys need to think about a QB of the future, cuz Henson sure as hell isn't :laugh:

:laugh:

What makes you think that he isn't?

Was it 1 career interception he has?

Or the one TD?

Let me know because I haven't seen enough to make that determination.

Well first of all I think he is younger then Brunell and way better then Brunell. How much does Brunell have left after all those injuries. Oh and since we talking future how does Ramsey figure into you guys future. Or are u guys looking past him to Jason (I had one good year at auburn and two 1, 000 yard backs) Cambell. BOTH OF THEM COST YOU GUYS A FIRST ROUND PICK. :laugh:
