    Charlie Weis should = Goodbye Bledsoe!

    I have just been looking at a few things and I have come to the conclusion that Weis with Bledsoe is a disaster. He already proved that he wouldn't work with him once, in New England and even helped with the decision to trade Drew Bledsoe once. However, he's on Donahoe's list because he will come cheap and has done a lot for the Patriots. What did he do with Bledsoe? Nothing! The team was 5-13 when Bledsoe and Weis were paired up and Bledsoe's numbers were mediocre. Weis wants a job, so do you really think that he'll tell Donahoe to get rid of Drew Bledsoe? No! I think he'll be forced to hang onto Bledsoe as long as TD tells him to. So, yeah, Charlie Weis might make a great head coach here, but you gotta dump Bledsoe and get another Tom Brady for our team.

      The question is....would he stand up to TD and get rid of Bledsoe? Or would he be TD's new whipping boy and have Bledsoe as the starter and we have to suffer another year of mediocrity. The other thing that worries me...When you get a new head coach, you never expect to go to the Super Bowl the first year. If you have an inexperienced HC, he learns on the job and will get better thru the year. So, our expectations better not be too high if he is our HC this year.

        I agree! If Weis is the Bills Head Coach, we will be drafting a QB in the first or 2nd round and I could even see us grabbing an AJ Feely or someone else in FA.

          Another last place finish for us next year.

          Although Weis won't want Bledsoe he will agree to keep him so he can get his first shot as a HC.

          I'm not looking foward to next season.

              He has a strong arm and he's a good father.

              Good luck playing to these strengths.

                I totally agree! Except we weren't last place this year. Weis would NOT stand up to Donahoe about Bledsoe and Ralph if he wants the job, he will just choke on pride. If we are planning to keep Drew Bledsoe, I really would rather see Jim Fassel and see what he can do with him, but I don't know. Weis has already showed what he could do with him and he did nothing, except make him from being crap to mediocre.

                  Weis' offense is built for someone who can dump off passes and make quick decisions. Bledsoe is NOT that. The dink and dunk offense would NOT work here.

                    Big deal we both finished 6-10 but we won the tiebreaker. I consider it tied for last.

                      I'm not willing to just assume that the past history they had together is a clear indicator for the future. It's possible that Bledsoe simply didn't mesh with the QB coach Dick Rehbein. Maybe with a good QB coach, something he hasn't had in Buffalo, he can turn it around. It's unlikely he's leaving so I'm hoping that's the case.

                        If Weis is a decent coach, he or his offensive coordinator will construct the offense around the strengths of the players we have here..something Gilbride seemed to do early last season but failed to do this season. Where was the power running game that we were promised and our offensive personnel dictated?

                          He isn't even anything.

                          I don't think there is an offense for Drew Bledsoe. How many different offenses does he need before everybody wakes up to the fact his time is done in the NFL? Hell, Gilbride's offense was his favorite offense ever

                            Christ now we're blaming the QB coaches on the reason why Drew Bledsoe sucks? Blaming QB coaches on a 11 year vet? Don't you think a 31 year old QB who was a #1 pick has had enough hands on coaching over his career?

                            Ryan Leaf didn't suck. He just didn't have the right QB coach.

                            Drew Bledsoe knows what he needs to do on the field. The problem is he can't do it. It's sad but it's true.

                              Actually, Rehbein was the QB coach in 2000 and then died in summer of 2001. Weis was the QB coach in the 2001 year and Bledsoe was 40/66 for 400 yards, 2 TDs and 2 INTs in those 2 games and was 0-2.
