Monday Night Football

First off, in the interest of full disclosure, I've always been a huge Drew Bledsoe fan. That being said, he makes huge mistakes that for the most part seem to nullify a lot of his gunslinger prowess. Kinda like Brett Favre 4 years ago, but still better than Favre now. Last night the Cowboys basically threw in the towel on their season. Any team that changes their starting QB mid-season has no right to claim they are trying to win the Super bowl, and at this point I think the 'Boys have zero chance at .500 season. Whatever you want to say about Drew Bledsoe, he was their only shot at making the playoffs this year, whether or not he could lead them to the Super Bowl is debatable at best. Last night's panic move by Bill Parcells basically signalled that they're looking to next season.

Other Cowboy's notes: Bill Parcells seemed like a lot better coach when he had Bill Belichick, Al Groh, Romeo Crennel, Charlie Weis et al on his staff. I've always thought that Parcells specialty was getting the most out of his players, and he doesn't have the high quality assistants that he used to, so his strategy is lacking.
More importantly about the cowboys, and any other team who thinks they can compete for a Super bowl. Any team who changes their Quarterback in the middle of the season did a poor job acquiring players in the off-season. If they didn't want to tie their wagon to Bledsoe, they should have signed a different QB in the off-season. I can think of a certain 25 million dollars that would have been better spent on either a QB or O-lineman as opposed to a loudmouth receiver.
