I don't think so, and here is why.
How many sacks did the Giants have in the second half against the Cowboys, none or one I am not sure, compare that to the first half. You know why? By the time your read to this sentence to this point, Romo would have gotten rid of the ball. Bledsoe on the other hand, needs to check every single option and checks down then scan again and then throw. You would be done reading this whole page by the time the ball gets out of his hand. Ok maybe I am exagerating, but you get my point.
The Giants didn't blitz as often and when they did it wasn't as effective as in the first half, and that is what a mobile QB gives you. I am sure that if Bledsoe had played, Peppers would be the sack-leader in the NFL right now. The O-line has to do so much for someone who takes that long.
Remember this because the Redskins will play the Panthers and if Burnell stays as the starting QB you will see what I am talking about. Burnell is alot more mobile than Bledsoe, but he takes too long to throw. I really do hope he gets to start this Sunday, I am not saying Dallas will win for sure, but the Cowboys have a much better chance of winning with him taking the snaps.
