Does anyone belive that Drew Bledsoe


Recommended Posts

What NFL records does Drew hold? Most passes in a game-70.

 

Well, I'm sure it seemed like 70.

 

No SB, no HOF. And it becomes increasingly difficult to believe he can do it with this team...or any other team.

 

Y'know what would be messed up? Jets are looking for an experienced vet to backup Chad. How funny would it be if Bledsoe somehow made it over to the Jets.

 

QB for three teams in one division. There's a resume.

His stats are a joke!  They are based on attrition.  What NFL records does Drew hold?  Most passes in a game-70.  Yet he does not hold the record for most TDs or Yards in a game-nor come close.  He also has the record for most attempts in a year-691 and he has the 3rd most attempts in a year- 636.  Can you imagine the numbers any great QB could put up if they throw the ball 691 times in a year and 70 times in one game?  The numbers that matter are completions, quarterback rating, touchdowns, offensive points and most importenly wins.  26-68 against teams with a winning record is pathetic.  Drew sucks at all the catagorys that matter!

He pretty much re-wrote the entire Buffalo Bills passing record book...

He has career "73" QB rating.  That's pretty average.

 

:lol:

Do you think Elway was a good QB?

 

His rating was 79.

 

How about Joe Nameth?

 

His rating was a 65.5.

 

The QB rating isn't really that great a stat.

Drew's won 2 AFC Champ. games (yes he play 2 and a half qts against Pitt so he gets the win). Thats two more than Payton. In 94 he took his team on a 5 game winning streak to get them into the playoffs. Similar situation in 96-97. Willed his team into the play offs with the a broken finger - three wins in a row, two against divisional rivals, one against conference rival- The steelers. I think Bills and Miami were all pretty good that year.

He's won pleanty of big games.

He has good stats except for win %.  And to be a HOF'er you need to be a winner.

As much as folks hate to admit he definitely has a shot even if her were to retire today. In the end, this is a popularity contest with many folks who we think are no-brainers to add (Ralph Wilson) not getting in and a few questionable sorts getting in (I don;t even want to have that argument so I won't name names.

 

Bledsoe will have a tough time because he has not really led a team to an SB victory which along with top 10 QB stats in some aspects of the game, and various storied achievements which rep is built upon (Pro Bowl appearances, revival of your play over a number of years, a rep as a gamer and teacher of next generation) are things which can allow you to win a popularity contest among the HOF pickers.

 

Yet, though Bledsoe has not led a team to SB glory, this is not a disqualifier if you have an advocate willing to pitch your name based on other factors. Bledsoe has the longevity and various pass happy offenses to rack up top 10 QB #2 even if it is mostly in passes attempted or other volume stats. He had made the Pro Bowl a number of times and it occured when folks had written him off as done as when he came to the Bills in 2002. He has a rep as a real gamer who thinks team first and Brady gives him credit for helping him develop when he had to step in for Bledsoe. Add to that he did lead one team to the SB under Parcells which is more than many better QBs did (Peyton to date and equal to Marino) and in fact did play an essential role in playing QB in the majority of a must win game and throwing the winning TD against Oakland in their 2001 SB season.

 

Will Bledsoe make the HOF? Who knows Ralph isn't in, but who kbnows Ralph isn't in. Despite the Bledsoe haters he certainly will get real consideration and if you are in the mix it really comes down to whether you have enough buddies on the HOF committee willing to carry your water.

 

I think the critical factor for Bledsoe will be how long he plays and thus the competition when he is eligible to go in. If he is up against the Kellys and the Elways fuggabouit they will recognize the better QBs. However, if he is up against the Testaverde's, the Dilfer's or even the Warner's then my guess is that he is in.
