As I watched Bledsoe complete the obligatory "Here's one for old time sakes buddy, I won't be looking your way for the rest of the year, so enjoy it" pass to Sam Gash on Saturday, I thought about how many times over the years I saw him dump off pass after pass to Ben Coates, making them both ProBowlers, and wondered...
1. Did this guy suddenly become braindead and forget that he has second, third, and fourth receivers to dump off to or perhaps maybe we give him too much credit and he just isn't the sharpest knife in the rack to begin with??
2. Could there really be behind that angelic, intelligent, diplomatic, team first exterior...a man with an ego so large that it would make Jim Kelly look like the second coming of Frank Reich...a man who despite being asked to start using the short and medium pass more says "Screw the team" and does what he wants once he gets behind center....which mainly consists of locking onto the outside receivers for the big play and taking sack after sack...making a young line that already has very shakey confidence look that much worse than it already is??
3. Are our receivers that bad that no one is getting open...I doubt it??
4. Is Gilbride's system just too nonconducive to the short and medium pass and really doesn't give him or the receivers much of a chance...hmmm??
Will someone please enlighten me, because I sure don't know.
I love Bledsoe and still think that he is "The Man" but I think that the clock is running and time may be running out for him and Gilbride :church:
