    Marv Levy would have kept Bledsoe...

    Marv Levy was in town last night for a big talk. They are playing clips of it on the radio this morning...some interesting stuff...this is not to reopen the DB debate but just wanted to let another perspective in on the situation...

    Marv would have kept DB instead of playing a "rookie" with no experience...he wouldn't have risked losing the veteran leadership this team needed.

    Thoughts? Some around here were saying they would like to see Marv as GM. Now?

    Wow thats shocking. Even Marv knows that the TD era is done. I dont think he would make that statement otherwise. He knows how valuable his opinions are to Bills Nation, I dont he would say anything if he thought this regime was staying.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all     true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can     mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

      The guy went to harvard, even considering his age he's gotta have more brain cells than most GM candidates.

        I hope he would have fixed our o-line then because Bledsoe would have sucked behind it

            Bledsoe has had two good games in the last 7 weeks so the "Bledsoe Loving" threads are out again.

            There have only been 2 weeks out of the last 7 we have seen these threads. What a coincidence.

              It's a feel good story to think of Marv as the coach or the GM of this team. We see the threads every season.

              Then it all sinks in that he is an old fart and it's not possible then they go away.

                Yeah that would have been scary this year. But Bledsoe has proven that he still has a gun if he has a chance to use it. He's not Jim Kelly, though, Marv, so veteran leadership or not, letting DB go is not one of this franchise's regrettable off-season moves.

                    Of course he would have, he's a smart guy. Any intelligent person would have kept Drew. He's a pro bowler. This team lacks leadership, JP isn't the leader type.

                      I agree he wouldn't have. Hell 28 other coaches in the NFL in that same situation wouldn't have given up Bledsoe...they would have, however, built up the OL to protect his imobile ass.

                              What would have happened had we kept Drew? He would have gotten killed behind this line, he would not have had a creampuff schedule to make him look good again, our record would be no better, and JP's development would be delayed a year and he'd be playing next year like he's playing now. Marv would have made the wrong call.
