Bledsoe to Cowboys?

[BrudLee]

I think we may be overstating things when we talk about "familiarity with the offense". Drew Bledsoe has had four different head coaches since his time with Parcells - nine seasons ago. That's a lot of new playbooks, terminologies, players, rule changes, and arthitis medications ago. If anything, Bledsoe would be familiar with getting browbeaten by Parcells, and it may not be an experience he wishes to repeat.

Also remember that, despite his visit to the Super Bowl with Bledsoe, the two didn't have a lot of success together. Parcells had a winning percentage of .500 with the Patriots. With the Jets he had a regular season winning percentage of .604 - and with good old Vinnie and the Jets, he went 20-12 in the regular season. Vinnie has fresher knowledge of Parcells and his offense, has the trust of the coaches, and comes cheaper than Bledsoe likely will. Besides, if you are going to impede the growth of your young QB's, does it really matter if the guy you are doing it with is 34 or 40?
