So now that Bledsoe is a Cowboy, how do you think his stint in Dallas will pan out for him?
My prediction is that it'll be Buffalo Part 2 for Drew. He'll arrive in Dallas to much fanfare and will start out this coming season smoking hot. His first 8 games will be just like his first here in Buffalo. All the critics will say, "That Tom Donahoe sure did make a big time blunder in letting THIS talent slip away!" Then, once Drew gets comfortable that the Cowboys are "his team", he'll settle down into the mediocrity that he's famous for. Once he gets full into his Keystone Kops routine, probably in his second season if not sooner, the Dallas fans will start making the excuses. You know 'em all:
The line isn't blocking good!
The offensive coordinator isn't catering to Drew's talent!
If only we had a top notch (insert position here)!
There will be lots of press conferences where Drew will say, "Uhhhh... we just didn't... ummmm... execute. That's all there is to it. I know... uhhhhh... that I didn't play as well as.... ummmm... I could have".
Soon the fans will start to realize why 2 other teams cut him loose even with the magical reputation he seemingly has. Then it'll be the same thing all over again. Except this time I wonder if he'll accept the backup role, try and start for another team, or go retire at his ranch in Montana that he's so fond of?
One last thing, and this bothers me, after all of the kind words he said about the Bills fans and Bills organization, why did he go ahead and say this?
``It's an offense, that, when I looked at it, it was very enticing,'' Bledsoe said. ``I can't wait to go home and dress my kids in little stars and get rid of the other team's stuff.''
