There should be statues of both drew bledsoe and bill parcells at patriot place (as well as bob kraft). arguably without those two everything that has happened since may not have happened.
Bledsoe was a good quarterback that was just involved in an awful lot of bad circumstances. He has dealt with so many coaching changes, yet he did good for very many of his years. When Buffalo traded Peerless Price instead of kept the dual threat of him and Eric Moulds, he couldn't do it anymore in Buffalo once their line play started to suffer and his (lack of) mobility became an issue.
Bledsoe helped make the Patriot orginization what it is today. All of his hard work and dedacation to that team can't be denied. But at least he did get to taste the victory champange. if he didn't come in for a hurt Brady the AFC champ game vs. Pitt and win it... the Pats don't move on. Great video thanks for posting.
@pats4lifebb, agreed. He was a fine QB, certainly above average. He made a few pro bowls, and he had some good years. But to put a guy like him into the HOF would be silly. It would really cheapen the significance of being a hall of famer.
Buffalo's worst move was releasing Bledsoe after a 9-7 record and he also agreed to take a pay cut. Bills fan should be ashamed of themselves, they were calling for JP Losman, congrats, you got him...
Yeah, but Bledsoe wasn't playing well in Buffalo. He was taking too many sacks holding the ball too long, and at one point was averaging less than 120 yards passing per game.
He went to Dallas and did nothing. So, sure JP sucked, but Bledsoe wasn't the answer either and they needed to find out about what they'd drafted so they made they made the move.
@AllPro777 Did nothing? Dude the cowboys were having horrible seasons before Bledsoe came in. they finalyl had a winning season 9-7 (should have gone 10-6 but the team didnt play with heart in the last game bc they were out of play off picture) they lost alot of games because of the kicker. Romo took them to the playoffs with same record the next year.. 9-7 and has yet to win play off game
He failed to make big plays in critical moments, he struggled in year two AND GOT BENCHED (remember that?) and then was outplayed by yet another backup QB. I'm glad you mentioned that they made the playoffs with Romo at only 9-7, because it can be argued that if Romo had been starting day one they may have had a better record since Bledsoe was so ineffective that year. Also, they weren't having horrible "seasons" before Bledsoe. They only had one bad season before him ('04).
@AllPro777 First of all in the first year they lost games, many of them, because kicker missed fieldgoals towards end of the game. Second, Romo had a worse game against the Giants when Bledsoe was benched, Romo looked good for a couple games until they figured him out and has failed to make anything signifigant ever happen. Bledsoe won play off games. when Romo gets a team to the superbowl we'll talk.
C'mon man. Romo has been a solid All-Pro QB for years now and that's a fact. Secondly, teams make Super Bowl's not individual players. Last I checked, the entire Cowboys team sandbagged it under Wade, so let's not blame it all on Romo. And Drew wasn't playing well anymore, let's not blame his own play on the kicker missing field goals. It's not like he was benched by some also-ran coach. It was Bill Parcells who pulled the plug. Bill knew Bledsoe couldn't play anymore.
@AllPro777 Cowboy fans started to blame Bledsoe for everything. He'd make a smart play and throw the ball away in the redzone, a mistake he corrected from years past, and they would blame him for receivers not being open. Look how horrible Romo played this year. He wont be a starter for long.
Romo was completing almost 70% of his passes this year (he's still #1 in the league in that category), so he was hardly the problem. A poor running game and no defense was the problem, and the fact that they couldn't protect worth squat eventually got Romo knocked out. Bledsoe was one of my favorite players and I loved him in New England, but injuries caused his skills to diminish. When two teams you started for wind up better when putting you on the bench, that says it all.
Bledsoe's lowlight reel should be all the time he'd drive the Patriots 80 yards then throw a pick in the endzone......we'd have 5 videos worth at least.
Not at all, Bledsoe has lead feet. He does not move at all which is one of his downfalls. Then you add in he is careless with the football and usually turns out with 15 picks a year and then usually 5 fumbles and more a year. The pats would've done awful with Bledsoe as their quarterback.
he has some amazing ass abilities the only qbs that have as much as him wto me would be marino and maning they were all alike same abilites and were SMART
Lowlights: unable to seal the deal. He always seemed to get you 95% of the way there and then failed. If he could get past his predilection to go to the same receivers all the time it would have been very different. A real shame.
Highlights: Got the Pats into a superblow! The team just fell apart. Really too bad.
I don't think anyone denies that Bledsoe had the arm to envy, but the offense clicked with Brady like it never did with Bledsoe. Tom makes that click like Drew never could.
I never liked Bledsoe. He just had this vibe about him. Even when he was supposedly at his best. I just never liked him. Brady just had this vibe I liked. And Brady just ended up being the better QB to go with. It happens all the time. It's the same way Kurt Warner got into the starting position. Things just happen. We just watch and hope for the best.
when bledsoe was w/ new england he was better then fucking tom brady. if bledsoe were 2 still play 4 new england & start then i woulda liked new england but NO TOM BRADY HAD 2 SHOW UP!!!!!!!!!
Drew was a very good QB, extremely strong arm. There were games I remember watching and they'd show how fast the ball was thrown. One game in particular against the Jets, Bryan Cox was watching Bledsoe and next thing you know, the ball was past Bryan's head in the end zone for a touchdown. Bledsoe was a class act. Went to the same high school he did, played youth football on Bledsoe Field. Same high school that had Peter Sirmon, a good linebacker for the Titans several years ago.
he was a great qb, he tought brady more or less everything. youngest player ever to be in pro bowl, drafted #1 and so much more. he played cuz he liked to, he retired for his kids cuz be played so aggressive for a qb. most underated player in all of football
its not right to make fun of him he was great before that injury againsts the jets and he woulda started on the pats for his whole life he woulda but brady is just so amazing that well thats when his carrer went down and down
this guy happened to throw for 44,611 yards in his career, which happens to be 7th most all time. thats 44,611 more yards than whoever made this video had. wow, bledsoe was actually a pretty good quarterback.
You're right..I'm a Bills fan, I always liked Drew, Drew's stay in Buffalo was good one he almost got the Bills to the playoffs 2of 3 years he was here and he played tough behind a shit o-line
97??? more like 93 there buddy. Drew would have hit and miss years. and if it wasnt for him getting hurt in 2001 we would have never even known who Tom Brady was.
I don't know if he was underrated... he was a very good QB who got plenty of credit... one of the best players of his generation no doubt.
But Bledsoe was really only as good as the team around him. He needed a strong supporting cast.
That said, the Bills should have kept him for the 2005 season instead of replacing him with Kelly Holcomb. They reached for J.P. Losman in the 2004 draft and fucked up his career by forcing him to start in an awful situation before he could handle it.
I miss bledsoe playing..patriots are my favorite team and when drew left i always watched the buffalo and dalls games...dallas should have kept drew and the pats should have picked bledsoe up for a 2nd instead of cassel or we should have kept flutie
dude, both bledsoe and flutie suck. Everyone raves about Flutie because of what he did in the CFL. Big whoop, the CFL is a minor league football league compared to the NFL. Flutie did jackshit in the NFL thats why he had to run to the CFL.
U forget Bledsoe lead NE to 1 superbowl appearance and an afc championsip. How many others have done that? He was one of the 1st to put NE on the map even b4 Brady.
are you saying how many people have lead the patriots to a superbowl/afc championship or just a qb in general for any team? yeah bledsoe help put NE on the map but you gotta remember, after pete carroll left that team was going down the drain until brady steped in.
All I'm saying is that for a QB or any player that accomplishes that in their life time doesn't suck...By saying that ur discrediting what they've done.
Lotta players don't even make it to the Superbowl b4 they retire. Let alone win an nfc/afc championship.
Sooooo your tellin me Dilfer doesnt suck? Rypien who had maybe 3 or 4 decent seasons and Steve Grogan or which ever of the 3 or 4 qb's that Chicago knocked out in SuperBowl 20 dont suck?
Nope...The only one I would say that truly sucked was Rex Grossman. That chump got lucky because of Chicago's defense. If it weren't 4 their D. Chicago probably wouldn't have made it that far.
In addition to that...Grossman got a little consistent during their run in the playoffs. Just a little bit...Grossman sucks balls though.
Oh btw...If you rate Bledsoe as an 80 I'd agree with you on that. But 80 isn't a bad rating. He's above average at best.
80 is average and Grogan sucked along with Dilfer. If it wasent for the Ravens D in 2000 the Ravens wouldnt of even made the playoffs and if you consider 80 above average for a QB then your on crack, 85 would be above average.
LOL. So I guess to be some badass QB or player for you they must be what? Like 150? Don't even try to make this a personal issue son. Because I will clown on you.
Oh nooooo!!!! what will I ever do if you clown me up and down youtube! oh nooo!!! Don't turn this into a personal issue yourself dad, your just upset. Why dont you just call up your boyfriend and just have him come over and fuck you in the ass...dad.
Nope...Upset for what? That ur the real fag? The chump on the crack? Right? I'm not gonna even get into the details. Anyways I'm not going to sit behind the computer screen and act like I'm all balls out like your monkey ass, so unless you want to settle this in person this will be my last reply.
we all know your upset that I brought out the truth in you. Its okay to come out, I mean by all mean Clay Aiken did, he should be your inspiration. BTW isnt Dallas one of the fatest citys in the world? why would I waste my money coming to see your big ass.
Flutie only got Buffalo to the playoffs twice. Flutie never had that much of a team around him as NFL player. Bledsoe just had 3 targets that he always used. That's his shortcoming. At least Flutie was just short:)
Flutie had Adree Reed Eric Moulds Peerless Price and jay remersma they had preety much the same team and both quarterbacks were just as good Flutie didnt have that great of an arm either
He was a fine QB just at the wrong place wrong time his entire career....parcells leaving after the super bowl...gregg williams fired after bledsoe came in #2 on MVP voting in 2002 and then the release of larry allen in 2005 after he had a solid first season in dallas...anyone who says hes overrated doesnt know much about football. Dont feel bad for him tho Patriots had to buy out his contract so he got paid and now runs a whinery in washington
whats your fucking point? bledsoe sucked before and after that whole incident. At best if you rate Bledsoe on a scale from 1-100 his overall status is at best a 80. He was sacked more times in a game week after week then I ever saw, he throws more INTs and fumbles then I ever see and if your 1 second you blame that on the O-line, thats crap because look at how good Brady did in 01 when Bledsoe got injurjed and in 06 when Romo started for the Cowboys. DREW SUCKS!
i agree wit u that bledsoe got sacked alot but um if u gave him time, wow he would fuckin give u a 100% accurate throw 70 yards down the field. no qb can do that in their early 20's. he went to the bills, the bills, what the fuck o-line do they have, he never had an o-line, colts are the team for him. he retired for his kids dude, he knew the future defence's were geeting, well "steriod" jacked. he would of still played but wanted to be wit his family. + the cowboys got inj
wow if bledsoe didnt come in against the stellers and win the game when brady "hurt" his ankle he would have never made it to the superbowl drew should have started.
Any qb could be as good as tom brady was last season with a o line like that and all of those recivers.
Lets see brady lead the pats to a superbowl with the team drew had
he would have smashed records if he had the protection like tom brady does he has like 20 seconds to throw the ball every play and people think he is amazing
Bledsoe has to be the most overrated QB I can think of in recent history. Yes, he put up yards but look at how many times he threw the freakin' ball, 2,500 more attempts than Troy Aikman in his career. He also fumbled the ball over 120 times in his career which means he was good for close to a fumble per game.
OVERRATED? no one ever gave him credit for anything! if anything he was way UNDERRATED! there are pocket quarterbacks and there are scrabling quarterbacks. drew never had a defensive line worth crap anywhere he played! that's why he fumbled so much!
Yes, overrated and don't try to blame the fumbles on his O-line. If his O-line were that bad, he wouldn't have thrown for the yards that he did, would he? He showed he was not a pressure QB and didn't take care of the ball when he got any pressure. I don't recall the year but I do recall Bledsoe going the first eight or nine games without a TD pass. Anyone who saw him play saw how much he held the ball which is what caused all the sacks and fumbles. That even continued in Dallas.
actually if you fumble every time you get sacked and give up touchdowns on 20% of your interceptions get returned for touchdowns, it usually means you're a fucking awful football player, which bledsode is.
Actually Bledsoe led the Patriots to the superbowl that one year after he led the winning touchdown drive against the Steelers I think the guy deserves some credit.
Worst thing for Bledsoe was Zampese and Carroll. There were times when he carried the offense on his shoulders. The line was pourus and Carroll wouldn't support a smashmouth line and instead relied on finesse..... Something the Pats weren't built for.
Add in a sad front office... aka... GREER, and Bledsoe was the wrong QB for that offence.
He did well in Buff the first year, then the team got dismantled.
He wasn't perfect, but given the chance he'd beat you.
I've been kicked out of Buffalo eateries simply for saying we made a mistake in getting rid of him not to mention die hard bills fans who think offensive linemen aren't important.
Drew helped the Pats more then any of there fans will ever know, besides the true ones. He came back from a near death injury to put them in the SB by facing the Steelers and that game never gets mentioned. Even when he was in Buffalo he helped but that team was far from being saved, and he helped set the Cowboys to be able to go to the SB, but TO and his ignorant ass and then that OLine couldn't stop a high school D. It's Really sad that he retired .I don't like the Pats but I watched him play.
drew helped us if u didnt get injured brady wouldnt of been discovered as a great QB although he did help us i mean alot but still i believe if he didnt get hurt we might not of won that super bowl or any others for that matter but i gues if it werent for him we would still be the arizona of football teams with one of the worst averages ever so i have to say thanks drew for getting injured and whipping our asses into shape
I was named after Derek Sanderson of the Boston Bruins. He was my fathers favorite player. So to follow tradition, I named my son after him because he turned the Patsies in to the Patriots. He was a class act and I will always say he was a great quarterback. My family now jokes with me they say if you have another son are you gonna name him Brady. LOL.
Anyone who has been following the Pats for longer than 7 seasons obviously remembers this guy. For a while, he was the best player on that god awful team of old. He was the one who actually got the Pats into the playoffs a few times and won quite a few games for them. Its a shame that he is retired now. I always liked the guy. One of the classiest players in the NFL. He's still a relatively young guy. I predict that he comes back to the NFL at some point.
gah, grew up watchin the pats. since i was born watchin them downstairs wid my dad. im glad they got their act together and might become the best team in sports history.
What're you pats fans gonna do when Brady or Bill retire? LOL i can't wait to see that but hell just live it up right now though you spoil bastards (In a good way).
Drew was a class act, in New England he help turn around a bunch of losers. One thing I'll say about New Enland fans their fair weather, and will turn on Brady as soon as his numbers start to drop.
It's such a shame there are so many morons out there that can villainize such a class guy as Drew Bledsoe.. Brady turned out to be a better QB no question, but Drew is the reason why the Patriots began their turnaround from Doormat to Dynasty... As a 27 year season ticket holder I can only say thanks Drew... You have nothing to be ashamed of...
i dod rememmber that game he went 45 for 70 for 424 yards. yes that was hell of a performance. Im from salem mass and yes that was something ill probably never see again.
Bledsoe is a warrior! Bledsoe was a professional who showed courage and determination! Watch the 06 first Dallas/ Eagle game and the Chiefs game and tell me who is a better passer! Behind a functioning OL , Bledsoe was awesome!
I agree that Romo isn't one of the 2 best QB's in the NFL right now, I agree I made a false statement there. However, it is hard to believe that Brady & Romo BOTH replaced Bledsoe.
People forget how good Drew was in his prime. The pats were the worst team in the NFL prior to his rookie year. He played behind marginal offensive lines and in many years handed the ball off to medicore running backs named Marion Butts, Lenard Russell, and Terry Allen. In many years his best WR was his TE. Despite this the pats were always competative with him at the helm. He may not be Brady, but he was a very good QB for much of his career.
Strongest throwing arm in history? HA! What a joke! You funny person!...Oh wait, you were serious? No, Favre has him by leaps and bounds, as do several other QB's...

ppl forget Bledsoe was a great QB but he never had a good line to protect him like Brady has...im not saying Brady is bad Brady is the man but Bledsoe was a very underrated QB and had the strongest throwing arm in nfl history
i hope he does come back as a back up to brady (which i doubt he will) he would fit perfectly in that role. i think pats fans forget about how good he used to be he just never had the teams that bradys had (except for in 1996)
Bledsoe is by far the most overrated player in the history of the nfl. I have always said that! (since 96'). anyone who says he never has decent lines is an idiot! this guy holds on to the ball forever and can't move around at all, and people have the nerve to blame the line. that not fair to the linemen.
OK, from 1996-98, Bledsoe was one of the top 5 QB's in the NFL, (along with future Hall of Famers Favre, Young, Elway, and Aikman). When someone is considered among the top 5 in his position for a period of several years, you can't say he's had an awful career, even if he's never reached the same level of succes since.
Um how about a guy named Dan Marino? Yeah no Super Bowl but he's already in the Hall of Fame and holds just about every major passing record known to man. He should be in that top five more so than Young or Aikman
the problem is he cant even get an o-line in dallas, even though they have one of the best in the biz. just look at the eagles-boys game 10-8-06. 6 sacks? or 7?
ya i agree bledsoe is an awesome qb...future hall of famer...how can you say he's had an awful career?...he's lead a team to the superbowl and a couple of playoffs ...hmmm
Let me know if there are any pictures in this reel, or anywhere else, where I can see Drew Bledsoe facedown on the turf, immobile.

You're absolutely right....Bledsoe could always drive the team 80 yards but could never get the last 20.
How many drive ending picks did Bledsoe throw in his career, too many to count.
When the ball is in Brady's hands, you ALWAYS have a chance to win.

Top three people in Patriots history, in order:
1) Robert Kraft ( Rejected buy-out and kept team in New England instead of St. Louis )
2) Drew Bledsoe ( Brought the team back to life when it was on it's death bed )
3) Bill Belichick ( Drafted Tom Brady )
Without Kraft the Patriots would have been playing in St. Louis since 1994.

NYJETSFAN9900 3 years ago
I don't know if he was underrated... he was a very good QB who got plenty of credit... one of the best players of his generation no doubt.
But Bledsoe was really only as good as the team around him. He needed a strong supporting cast.
That said, the Bills should have kept him for the 2005 season instead of replacing him with Kelly Holcomb. They reached for J.P. Losman in the 2004 draft and fucked up his career by forcing him to start in an awful situation before he could handle it.

dude, both bledsoe and flutie suck. Everyone raves about Flutie because of what he did in the CFL. Big whoop, the CFL is a minor league football league compared to the NFL. Flutie did jackshit in the NFL thats why he had to run to the CFL.

U forget Bledsoe lead NE to 1 superbowl appearance and an afc championsip. How many others have done that? He was one of the 1st to put NE on the map even b4 Brady.
Chin9y8302 3 years ago
are you saying how many people have lead the patriots to a superbowl/afc championship or just a qb in general for any team? yeah bledsoe help put NE on the map but you gotta remember, after pete carroll left that team was going down the drain until brady steped in.
MrBeverlyHills 3 years ago
All I'm saying is that for a QB or any player that accomplishes that in their life time doesn't suck...By saying that ur discrediting what they've done.
Lotta players don't even make it to the Superbowl b4 they retire. Let alone win an nfc/afc championship.
Chin9y8302 3 years ago
Sooooo your tellin me Dilfer doesnt suck? Rypien who had maybe 3 or 4 decent seasons and Steve Grogan or which ever of the 3 or 4 qb's that Chicago knocked out in SuperBowl 20 dont suck?
MrBeverlyHills 3 years ago
Nope...The only one I would say that truly sucked was Rex Grossman. That chump got lucky because of Chicago's defense. If it weren't 4 their D. Chicago probably wouldn't have made it that far.
In addition to that...Grossman got a little consistent during their run in the playoffs. Just a little bit...Grossman sucks balls though.
Oh btw...If you rate Bledsoe as an 80 I'd agree with you on that. But 80 isn't a bad rating. He's above average at best.
Chin9y8302 3 years ago
80 is average and Grogan sucked along with Dilfer. If it wasent for the Ravens D in 2000 the Ravens wouldnt of even made the playoffs and if you consider 80 above average for a QB then your on crack, 85 would be above average.

Flutie only got Buffalo to the playoffs twice. Flutie never had that much of a team around him as NFL player. Bledsoe just had 3 targets that he always used. That's his shortcoming. At least Flutie was just short:)

icy13jackfruit 3 years ago
whats your fucking point? bledsoe sucked before and after that whole incident. At best if you rate Bledsoe on a scale from 1-100 his overall status is at best a 80. He was sacked more times in a game week after week then I ever saw, he throws more INTs and fumbles then I ever see and if your 1 second you blame that on the O-line, thats crap because look at how good Brady did in 01 when Bledsoe got injurjed and in 06 when Romo started for the Cowboys. DREW SUCKS!

i agree wit u that bledsoe got sacked alot but um if u gave him time, wow he would fuckin give u a 100% accurate throw 70 yards down the field. no qb can do that in their early 20's. he went to the bills, the bills, what the fuck o-line do they have, he never had an o-line, colts are the team for him. he retired for his kids dude, he knew the future defence's were geeting, well "steriod" jacked. he would of still played but wanted to be wit his family. + the cowboys got inj

Any qb could be as good as tom brady was last season with a o line like that and all of those recivers.
Lets see brady lead the pats to a superbowl with the team drew had
he would have smashed records if he had the protection like tom brady does he has like 20 seconds to throw the ball every play and people think he is amazing
drew was one of the most underratted players EVER
icy13jackfruit 3 years ago
the reason he had so many yards was because of his rocket arm and having Terry Glenn most of the time.
thax10 3 years ago
Bledsoe has to be the most overrated QB I can think of in recent history. Yes, he put up yards but look at how many times he threw the freakin' ball, 2,500 more attempts than Troy Aikman in his career. He also fumbled the ball over 120 times in his career which means he was good for close to a fumble per game.
jocwalk 3 years ago
OVERRATED? no one ever gave him credit for anything! if anything he was way UNDERRATED! there are pocket quarterbacks and there are scrabling quarterbacks. drew never had a defensive line worth crap anywhere he played! that's why he fumbled so much!
thax10 3 years ago
Yes, overrated and don't try to blame the fumbles on his O-line. If his O-line were that bad, he wouldn't have thrown for the yards that he did, would he? He showed he was not a pressure QB and didn't take care of the ball when he got any pressure. I don't recall the year but I do recall Bledsoe going the first eight or nine games without a TD pass. Anyone who saw him play saw how much he held the ball which is what caused all the sacks and fumbles. That even continued in Dallas.

Couldn't agree more.
Worst thing for Bledsoe was Zampese and Carroll. There were times when he carried the offense on his shoulders. The line was pourus and Carroll wouldn't support a smashmouth line and instead relied on finesse..... Something the Pats weren't built for.
Add in a sad front office... aka... GREER, and Bledsoe was the wrong QB for that offence.
He did well in Buff the first year, then the team got dismantled.
He wasn't perfect, but given the chance he'd beat you.

Drew helped the Pats more then any of there fans will ever know, besides the true ones. He came back from a near death injury to put them in the SB by facing the Steelers and that game never gets mentioned. Even when he was in Buffalo he helped but that team was far from being saved, and he helped set the Cowboys to be able to go to the SB, but TO and his ignorant ass and then that OLine couldn't stop a high school D. It's Really sad that he retired .I don't like the Pats but I watched him play.

dwegan5750 4 years ago
Anyone who has been following the Pats for longer than 7 seasons obviously remembers this guy. For a while, he was the best player on that god awful team of old. He was the one who actually got the Pats into the playoffs a few times and won quite a few games for them. Its a shame that he is retired now. I always liked the guy. One of the classiest players in the NFL. He's still a relatively young guy. I predict that he comes back to the NFL at some point.

People forget how good Drew was in his prime. The pats were the worst team in the NFL prior to his rookie year. He played behind marginal offensive lines and in many years handed the ball off to medicore running backs named Marion Butts, Lenard Russell, and Terry Allen. In many years his best WR was his TE. Despite this the pats were always competative with him at the helm. He may not be Brady, but he was a very good QB for much of his career.

OK, from 1996-98, Bledsoe was one of the top 5 QB's in the NFL, (along with future Hall of Famers Favre, Young, Elway, and Aikman). When someone is considered among the top 5 in his position for a period of several years, you can't say he's had an awful career, even if he's never reached the same level of succes since.
