"By Peter King

One of the candidates on a few NFL coaching lists asked me the other day: "What do you think is the best job out there?"

"Buffalo," I said."

"Jim Fassel or Tom Coughlin could revitalize Bledsoe, assuming Bledsoe would listen the way John Elway did a decade ago in Denver and the way Kerry Collins did in turning his career around with the Giants. I hear Bledsoe would be open to coaching, which is a big plus for a veteran who's accomplished as much as he has."

the rest......

That was a great article. I don't see any other the other coaching positions nearly as attractive as the Bills.

I was thinking the same thing! What about this?

I believe he does, but I believe he has to take a dose of Dan Marino: Throw the ball away more. A good offensive coach would get that across to him.


Coach after coach after coach after ............................... has been trying to get that through Bledsoes head for years. I don't know why King thinks anything is going to change now!

Atlanta is right there! I think us and ATL are the two best jobs.

I don't know why anyone would want to work for Snyder or Al Davis.

Bidwell will never commit to winning in AZ and who cares if Chicago and the Giants have storied histories. Thats not going to help them win now!

Buffalo is #1 IF the new guy can cut the cord with Bledsoe. If TD forces Bledsoe on people in the interviews we ain't getting anyone good to coach here. Hell, even Belichick couldn't win with Bledsoe.

Earthquake Enyart

There is an opportunity for the right guy to step into Arizona and do what Marvin Lewis did in Cincy, if Bidwell will let him.

Angelo is a horrible GM, so Chicago is not a good opportunity.

The Giants and Falcon jobs might be ok.

Oakland and Washington will suck.

No way. Just face it, Drew is here to stay, at least for the next season or two. I think he has a chance to turn things around. Peter King is right, he can be coached to take fewer chances. And we'll be very very good.

What makes you think the new coach is going to be able to get Drew to get rid of the Ball. People said the same thing about Rob Johnson. No coach has been able to get that through Drews head. I really don't understand why people are thinking all of the sudden after 10 years Drew is going to be differant. Ain't gonna happen!

That's because Drew has never had a offensive minded coach who has coached him well enough. Look: Bill Parcells, Pete Carroll, Bill Belichick. None of whom are offensive coaches.

Coughlin or Fassel can turn him around. I know it.

If Tom Donahoe mortgages the Bills future to try to revive a QB that is clearly on the downside of his career we need a new GM. I want to win next year and Bledsoe has to go. Any coach that doesn't suck will see the same any casual fan can see. TD says Bledsoe looks good in warmups. Yeah, so did Rob Johnson. Unfortunately for us, the game is different when DE's and LB's are trying to separate you from the ball. Bledsoe sucks and I think Donahoe will let the new coach axe him.

If TD forces Bledsoe on a coach that coach will fail just like Gdub.

Unfortunately, Bledsoe MIGHT affect who we get as head coach. I hope we get the best guy for the job but Peter King thinks we will hire "best guy to try to make Bledsoe better". Bledsoe also makes this job less attractive than say, Atlanta, who already has a good QB.

I never really thought of this, but I guess if you consider:

Drew had a bad year

There is no current alternative to Drew that is here now

TD's pledge to draft a QB


This should be a major concern to a new coach who is expected to win immediately.

I think TD knows that Bledsoe has regressed and that the window is closing for this defense. You have to win in the NFL right away and I hope that TD picks the best coach, not the best coach to take on the Bledsoe project. I will certainly be watching closely for reasons the new coach is picked according to TD. I am not against keeping Bledsoe as long as the following are met:

A. He takes a massive decrease in salary.

B. We bring in someone else to compete for the job, like a Billy Volek. If Volek is Rob Johnson and Bledsoe > Johnson no one should be against this.

C. Draft a QB early that has potential to be a good NFL QB.

You are sure what question won't come up in the interview? What the coach thinks of Bledsoe? It sure will.

The people who think guys like Coughlin or Fassel will say they can fix Drew just to get the job may be wrong. They both are hot commodities(especially Fasssel for some reason). If they think Drew will hurt their chances to win they will say so IMO. If TD does not like it they can take a job elsewhere!

I'm just saying that if I'm interviewing with TD, I better have a plan on how to turn Drew around, or express my love for one of the retreads in the Land of No QB's. I don't want to get into a bidding war for Blake or Kordell Stewart or the like. But the new guy needs to have a plan that TD will buy into. The expectation is to win now.

There's more to the QB position than this, as the intelligence factors in greatly when wondering if the QB has a shot at correcting his mistakes. RJ was a bit challenged in that area - probably the #1 reason for his failure to ever develop into a QB of any substance.

I'm not a hater and I remember. I'm not for dropping him if the only option is Billy Volek. Volek is no RJ though. We would not have to give up a #1 pick for him and nowhere near the 5mill per RJ got.



If your talking 6-8mill per year for Brunell than no way I want him. I don't think he'll cost more than 3.5 to 4 mill per.

Don't get me wrong Jeff. I'd take Bledsoe over RJ anyday. I thought you were saying there is no comparison between the 2. I think they both equally hold the ball to long.

Hey, the guy just came off the worst season of his career. I'm not sold on him but what else do we do? If he's washed up then certainly an older Brunell wouldn't be the answer. There's not a rookie QB that we'll get who's ready to start. Maybe smarter coaching will work, maybe it won't but we don't have much choice right now. He can throw the short-medium pass contrary to popular belief. He had a great TE and a great FB at point (Coates and Byars) and he seemed to do just fine. Of course they also had a good RB and utilized him to set up play actions. Now, he has some serious weaknesses too. Not throwing the ball away is probably his biggest. The lack of mobility wouldn't be as huge an issue if we had "dump off" options in KG's offense. Maybe all the hits actually did make him stupid. We'll find out next season. The only way I see him not being here is if he doesn't re-work his contract. I will say that there's no way he's worth an extra $6million. If he's reasonable with salary, we draft a QB and go from there. I'm frustrated too, but what else is there? Volek? Blake? Travis Brown? No thanks.

A prospect as good as Volek, imo, is AJ Feeley. He's stepped in for Philly and led them to a 4-1 record. Not a huge choice as a starter, but I think he'd be able to step in if problems arose, and be a servicable replacement.

01-02-2004, 01:59 PM
Come on, REALLY? You'd rather start AJ Feeley over Bledsoe? Are you out of your mind???

I'm not saying Drew is the savior. God knows he isn't. But we have the best chance with him than any free agent or rookie for next season. And you know it.

pats-were-right
01-02-2004, 02:00 PM
That's because Drew has never had a offensive minded coach who has coached him well enough. Look: Bill Parcells, Pete Carroll, Bill Belichick. None of whom are offensive coaches.

Coughlin or Fassel can turn him around. I know it.

I scrolled through 4 pages and am shocked no-one took issue with the above. Hello? Bledsoe had OC's and QB coaches up the wazoo, INCLUDING two different Super Bowl winning OC's (Weis, Zampese) - it's not like Parcells, Carroll, and Belichick were instructing him.

He is who he is.

Not Atlanta with the great Vick, not the Giants or Chicago with the storied histories, not the clean slate in Arizona -- and certainly not the heap of trouble in Oakland. Buffalo, and I'm not even sure it's close.

If you're asking me this question, I didn't say bring him in instead of Drew. The post suggests that he would be a guy that can be a challenger to whomever the Bills' starter is. Then, if troubles arise, as they did this year, he's a guy that you can feel pretty safe about taking off the bench in place of a struggling starter, or if the starter is hurt.
Feeley is the type of player that, imo, could possibly challenge for a starting position in the future, much much more so than T.Brown or AVP.

if bledsoe didn't deliver on that drive in pitts. playoff game... the pats wouldn't have won superbowl either huh? i guess u forgot about that... its a team game and the way drew handled that situation was remarkeable... a cold qb with so much pressure delivered

Nope, I did not forget.....................I was waiting for a lover to say something about the Pittsburg game.

So he played one good half, Yippee! They never would have been in the playoffs if he had remained thier starting QB.

He didn't even play a good half in that game. NE I believe was up 7-0 and Brady went down deep in Pittsburgh's end. Bledsoe made a couple decent throws to finish the drive and score a TD on an ugly duck to David Patten (which did get the job done I suppose). He was lackluster the rest of the game though. In fact when the score was 24-17 he threw a pass right at a Pittsburgh defensive lineman's chest - if the guy just holds on and runs it's a tie game and Kevin Henry all over again (Kevin Henry was the Pittsburgh tackle that ran back a Drew int to lose a playoff game for us in '97).

And now you know the rest of the story. . .
