Booster4324 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 not sure if its posted Bledsoe to retire Hmm nothing I can find on google but if so it's time. I wish him the best as he was the classiest immobile statue it's been my pleasure to root for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Nancy Drew Blowso (my nickname for him when he was with NE), best of luck to you. Let's hope he doesn't get involved in a profession where speed or quicknesses is an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12thman Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 yes, a while back i think..no one showed any interest in him as far as i know, he knew it is time Cowboys released him, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CajunBillsBacker Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 If he would have retired right after his injury, he would have been remembered as a great QB who's career ended to soon. He played his way right into the mediocre catogory when he came back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanInSouthBuffalo Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 There's a statement from Bledsoe on PFT.com. He's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booster4324 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 This isnt for the people that hate him, does anyone think hes a hall of fame player? I really like Bledsoe but I doubt it. He has decent career stats, but he never did anything outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Nancy Drew Blowso (my nickname for him when he was with NE), best of luck to you. Let's hope he doesn't get involved in a profession where speed or quicknesses is an issue. True for others out there too... For one, I probably wouldn't fair so well either... Ever see the the ComCast "Slowsky" commercials?... That is what my kid calls me... Best of luck Drewby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 This isnt for the people that hate him, does anyone think hes a hall of fame player? No. But then again, no one thought Warren Moon would be, either. Tho, I think there's other reasons why WM got it; was the 'mobile QB' prototype who was also a great passer, stats, a consideration that if the teams around him were just a little better.... For Drew, his main team won the SB(s) only after he went down and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jri111 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I really like Bledsoe but I doubt it. He has decent career stats, but he never did anything outstanding. i agree. He was a stand-up guy with good numbers, but never really had that impact that would make him a Hall of Famer. Wish him luck with whatever he decides to do though. He was a traditional drop back QB in the wrong era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 yes, a while back i think..no one showed any interest in him as far as i know, he knew it is time Actually, Jerry Jones said, upon Bledsoes' release, that he would have been happy to bring Drew back at a reduced salary... The Bledsoe era of Bills history was pretty disappointing, but, I will always kind of like Drew. Despite all of the whining about his "this is my team" statement (you listening Rico?), I think he was a good guy, and I wasn't embarassed to call him the Bills starting QB from Monday to Saturday...his td pass to Peerless Price, in the second game of the 2002 season (the one that tied the game, IIRC), against the Vikings, is to me, one of the greatest throws made by any Bills QB, ever...few QBs could have made that pass. Not even Jimbo! Drew certainly is not deserving of the Hall of Fame, IMO, but he did have his moments. Good luck Drew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
