Drewey Does Dallas

How will Bledsoe do in Dallas?

First some positives:

• He leaves the AFC East. The Eagles have the only defense in the NFC that even comes close to the defenses of the Jets, Dolphins, and Patriots.
• Parcells will motivate Drew and keep him focused. In this week's MMQB, Peter King writes about Drew ignoring his coaches. Parcells won't let that happen.
• Parcells will probably create an offense that plays to Drew's strengths. They will run the ball a ton, and when they throw there will be a lot of tight ends and backs helping to block.
• He has a good running back.
• As bad as he is, he's much better than anything the Cowboys have had since Aikman. Drew doesn't have big shoes to fill, and Dallas fans will appreciate the improvement.

Now some negatives:

• Belichick taught the NFL how to beat Bledsoe. His gameplans will be replicated.
• The Eagles with their blitzing will kill him, the Redskins defense should improve under Gibbs, and Coughlin has a connection with Belichick so he might have some tricks up his sleeve too.
• Bledsoe was at his best when Parcells was coaching. Was his success because of Parcells or because of some good assistants including Charlie Weis? We'll find out.
• Bad receivers
• Jerry Jones supposedly didn't want Bledsoe. Could this cause tension, especially when Drew throws three interceptions and his sacked five times by the Eagles?

Overall, I think it's a smart move by the Cowboys and Bledsoe. Bledsoe going to a coach he's been successful with before. The Cowboys already invested a lot in Drew Henson, so they wouldn't draft another QB, and Bledsoe is a good two year bridge to Henson.

Bledsoe being replaced by a Michigan QB. Sound familiar?
