On the Bills giving the job to JP without a competition:
"I thought they made a mistake, and it’s starting to look that way"
Understatement of the year? He could've have taken a nastier shot than that.

I think he was refering to having cut him. Bledsoe isn't the type of guy to take a shot at another player.
He said that "they decided to give the nod to a young kid without a competition and I didnt agree with that."
Im sure he's glad to be out of Buffalo.
Just like Pat Williams, Carpenter, Newman and Winfield.
And soon to be Clements, Adams, possibly Fletcher and Moulds.
come on....we all knew "it couldn't get any worse" under JP...Originally Posted by Drev8
oh, wait....nevermind.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
Biggest mistake of the year, IMO. Other than the horrible draft.
shouting "hell yeah it can" repeatedly did no good
i don't think anybody agreed with it... except for our bright-minded front office... and half the billszone.
I am still fine with it.
Throw in a couple extra players and that's a good defense you just cut there!
Resign our own guys!
Drew can play linebacker or d-line, or o-line?
If so, Drew could've played well enough for the defense to rank higher than the bottom half of the league?
Thank you. No one seems to remeber the way bledsoe played when it mattered, and that the oline is the biggest problem this year, and it was far better last year. We wouldn't have parcells holding his hand here either.Drew can play linebacker or d-line, or o-line?

I agree with this assessment.
Anyone remember why we didn't make the playoffs last season? Who was partially responsible for sucking against the Steelers scrubs?
Bledsoe had to go. I'm willing to take a crap year this season to develop JP. I keep looking back to Eli Manning last season and look where they are now.
Don't be fooled. Manning still sucks at this point, he just has a good team around him bailing him out. This is coming from a guy who has to watch him every week. He is far from polished.
Might I add that he threw 3 INT's in 1 QTR last week and single handedly almost blew the game for his team and nobody bashed the guy... Losman throws 3 TD's in 1 QTR against Miami and the national media says he sucks.
Thats because he is a Manning, remember Peyton's first year or even John Elways. The Bills dont suck this year because of teh decision to start JP or JP's play. They suck because the dominant defense and power running game tah twas supposed to exist to support JP is nonexistant. JP has looked awful at times and at times showed flashes of what he could be give the guy a break, how would Big Ben look behind this line and coaching staff ??
What do you think hes going to say.....Nah it was the right move, I suck.
You're right, I am a coward! I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself.
Me too. This team was not going anywhere with Drew unless we built and all-pro o-line
It was a move for the future.
With Bledsoe we would've been a better football team. Crappy line and all. But the franchise wanted to look to the future.. fine.
What the Bills did do wrong is say that starting JP was not a step back for the team. That all blew up in their face and ours when Holcomb was named starter.
So TD and Mularkey are the ones who should pay not Bledsoe not Losman. They blind sided the fans.
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.
So am I.
Dredsoe would have gotten sacked 400 times behind this line, JP would not have gotten any experience riding the pine again (*See Eli Manning) and we still would have missed the playoffs (regardless of QB). As such, TD/MM would have said at the end of this non-playoff season, "We're moving to the future now with JP", and then we would have had the '05 season in '06. No thanks.
We're moving forward now because a) JP will have 12 games under his belt and b) hopefully TD/MM get s**t canned after the season.
Every QB needs a good o-line to play behind. The myth that a "mobile QB" is a solution to a bad o-line has been proven to be absolute BS. At least last year teams had to show some respect for the passing game. This year they just key in on Willis, knowing our passing game is non-existant.
I'm a long time lurker
