Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Drew Bledsoe thought that Brady would never be a starter in the NFL. Took him under his wing. Had him over for dinner. Set him up with his financial advisor to make sure he invested his NFL money, because he'd need good investments for his backup pay. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/01/27/drew-bledsoe-recalls-believing-tom-brady-would-never-be-a-starter/ Well, that worked out great ....... for Tom Brady 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 5 hours ago, billsfanmiami(oh) said: Drew Bledsoe is an #######, quite frankly. Incredibly unlikable guy Quite right. I heard him interviewed by NFLR sometime back, and came off that interview saying, thank god we were rid of him in two years. He is just so full of himself, and the one time I’m actually happy for Brady. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly unlikable guy I didn't find this at all, and he was very active in the community in his brief stint here. That he didn't think Brady would last was just an incorrect opinion (and it's great that he tells the story now that Brady is the greatest QB ever) and that he didn't want to pass the mantle of the team he lead for a decade in the playoffs is what you'd expect from any franchise QB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I think most people, whether famous or not, can come across very different depending on the situation. I had two interactions with Drew away from football and found him to be genuine. I also had a terrific conversation with Gregg Williams on the set of a PSA shoot, and Rex bought my buddies and I a beer, so like I said, opinions vary depending on the situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumpsuit Jim Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Full disclosure: After the Pats won the Super Bowl over the Rams (Drew’s injury year, Brady was the backup) I thought that we would get Brady - the plucky backup - as our QB as the Pats wouldn’t keep both, and Drew was their “franchise”. I was mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Quite amazing that Brady was the 4th string QB. How many teams do that, having 4 QBs on their roster? No wonder Bledsoe didn't think Brady would take his job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he was leaving New England for Buffalo, I think Brady tied all of Bledsoe’s pairs of cleats together, and Drew never caught on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mistaken. I certainly didn't think much of him in that 1st SB. He had 1 TD, and basically 2 good passes - the one TD, and the one on the GW FG drive when Madden thought they'd take a knee and play for overtime. Had the greatest show on turf showed up, that game would have been a blowout. I wonder if/how that would have affected Brady's future. Probably not much since he's so driven, but one can dream. It's funny reading the Pats boards right now. They realize it's ending, and the most common sentiment is that it's perfect timing, because "all they have to do" is figure out some way to get Lawrence next year, either by tanking or getting a team in the top draft position to trade w/ them. They have no idea how hard it is to get a decent QB. It could be fun to watch in the next few years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
