Drew Bledsoe discussion split from a Wade Smith thread.

Good point. But at least it does demonstrate how stupid it is to trade a future 2nd round pick for a current 3rd round pick. Hold on to your damn picks! The idea is to draft as many players a possible, increasing the odds of a few panning out. The Bills and Dolphins haven't learned this yet apparently. You should hope the next regime has.

Easy for you to say just because you have a HC that can get the most out of your players no matter what rd. they were drafted.

If you are referrring to the Drew trade, hindsight is 20/20. Not a single person on the planet said he was washed up in the first 6 months w/ the bills. It's easy to judge that move after the fact.

Losman, was a good move considering there won't be a qb as good as he is in next years draft. Besides, 1 year of learning will benefit him and the bills should Drew be done by the years end.

Drew has been done for 2 years you guys just haven't known it. He is Troy Aikman at the end of his career. He is only productive if EVERYONE around him plays perfectly. Ask Drew to make a play on his own, and he can't. He can't move, and he can't make a play when things break down. He is a very bad QB and has been for a couple years.

Those first 6 months you had him,he had Price and Moulds playing out of their minds. Once they came back to earth......so did Drew.

what do you base the comment that there wont be a QB as good as him in the next draft on?

I don't think so. Drew just like AJ and Jay has no time to throw the ball. Their OL sucks as bad as ours. If Drew had time to throw he could still be effective. Just because a QB isn't mobile (cough*Dan*cough) doesn't mean he;s not a great QB.

Possibly Aaron Rodgers, Matt Leinart, Andrew Walter or Kyle Orton. No one knows for sure.

 

[VJ1252]

leinart, walters, and maybe orton

you weren't saying that then and the first 2 games last year were you? Who do you think was throwing to Moulds and Price? Henry?

It's easy for you to say he's washed up after the fact, huh? Even more qualified people than you were saying it was a good trade for the bills then. Even Marino said on HBO that if he had to pick a qb it would be Drew (at that time). I don't think he's the qb he once was but I still think he may have a little left in him. It's only been 2 games.

If you are gonna judge him after two games, that would mean Feely is washed up before his carreer even took off.

Who? Maybe in time but not next year. A qb w/ Losman's talent who's had 1 year to learn about the NFL is worth more than any qb in next years draft that will not start til' 2006.

But thats what Donahoe is paid for. To be able to assess NFL talent and determine whether a guy is worth a #1 and a good chunk of your salary cap. Who cares what Marino says on HBO. If he's listening to these guys, god help the Bills.

So now what do the Bills do next year? Do they keep Drew around another year or do they take the cap hit and part ways, starting a, more or less, redshirted rookie? Or do they find another stopgap QB from the dredges of the wire?

And you don't have a #1 to help you out. Yeah, brilliant GMing by your man Donahoe. Then you can sit back and watch to see which RB wants out of town faster looking at the fatties that are going to try to block for them. And then there's the Mike Williams boo boo.

And then you get to watch Bill Parcells draft a stud next year...

Dan Orlovsky

 

[VJ1252]

Yea but if your getting a franchise QB for the next 10 years you want to get the best guy possible, not say well he will be better than a rookie next year. The bills could have drafted a rookie next year and signed a veteran QB as a stopgap solution

Donohoe wasn't wrong and neither were you thinking that when Drew was lighting it up in 2002. If TD had a crystal ball that makes sure that a qb doesn't drop that fast then we'd be in the sb every year wouldn't we?

MY point is, Reed, Clements, Kelsay, Williams, Evans ,Losman,Mcgahee, Henry (is still young and we drafted him) just proves that were are not ones that gave our picks away .

Isn't Drew a stop gap? The guys you picked out wouldn't even be considered a first rd. talent in this years draft.
