It seems as though TD's talk is contrary to his actions.
He has been saying for the last week or so that the front office made every attempt to keep Drew Bledsoe in Buffalo at some capacity but felt the organization needed to go in a different direction at the QB position.
Two Tongue Tom said that the news was not taken well by DB who felt that he wasn't being delt with in a fair manner when it came to the Starters spot and that he felt he was still capable of being a starter in this League.
What made Tom think that Bledsoe would take the demotion when, if anything he had strenthened his position that the lack of early wins had as much to do with the lack of a Run game and functional O-Line as it did his ability to hit open recievers.
The 0-4 start was in the midst of TH not being able to find open holes to run through, the Line not being able to create a pocket for a pocket passer, and a franchise quality WR(Moulds) forgetting how to look the ball into his hands.
If the Front Office really wanted to keep Bledsoe as a starter or backup they should've simply made it clear that the position would be earned by competition, And may the best man win.
In an obvious attempt to cover his ass TD all but forced to veteran out by announcing that Bledsoe was out and could contribute by mentoring a QB that he felt had yet to prove anything in the League.
Given the state of the O-Line at the beginning of last season most observers might expect the offense to struggle with what was at the time the worst O-Line in the League. Couple that with a running back that seems to get off to slow starts every year and a Superstar Reciever with a bad case of the dropsies, Mcnabb would've struggled to put up points.
Maybe Losman will turn out to be the best option at QB this year but if he's not, and doesn't progress like Big Ben, then our options as it stands now are extremely limited and could come down to whatever failure of a FA QB that TD can convince to be a backup in Buffalo.
Either way Fiedler or Mathews cant get this team 4 or 5 wins in a row to make a Playoff run.. at least Bledsoe would have been comfortable with the offense.
TD could've kept Bledsoe as a backup by simply allowing Losman to Earn the position instead of having it drop into his lap- what has losman done to prove he is ready?
This may be more of a risk on TD's part than taking WM in the 1st round.
