This years SB might be between 2 QBs that Bledsoe mentored and 2 QB that beat him out for the job.

Always had great respect for Drew and a player and person. Not surprised by his words. He's a class act. My only regret is that Drew's career didn't end on a higher note for him. I do hope he takes solace in knowing the greatest of all time replaced him here in Foxborough and a Brett Favre clone in Tony Romo replaced him in Dallas.

the six degree's of seperation of Drew Bledsoe, although I was a big fan of Bledsoe , he never worked hard here and if football was that important to him, he would be leading Dallas to the playoffs not Romo.. But Romo wanted it more and made Drew disappear in the Montana mist...

I do also think TO had alot to do with Bledsoe's fall from Dallas than Romo..

You really think JP Losman will even win back the starting job?

the one that really must hurt is the Buffalo situation he was replaced by JP Losman by a coach who lasted 2 years. He could have been the starter there this whole time he had 3 really good years in Buffalo and deserved better. Drew rebuilt this franchise and for that I will never say a bad word about anything he did football or otherwise. Without him we'd be rooting for the St. Louis Patriots

FTA:
I particularly liked that quote from Bledsoe.

I'm not sure there's really any shame in being beat out by Brady and Romo for starting jobs, but it is an interesting side story.

The idea that Bledsoe didn't work hard isn't well-founded. Maybe Bledsoe shouldn't have gotten married and had kids. Then he could have worked as hard as Brady?

The fact is, the game changed on Bledsoe as new blitzing schemes developed league-wide, and Bledsoe never adjusted. Then his skills deteriorated. Plus, Bledsoe started playing in 1992. He was beaten out by Romo in 2006 because well, Bledsoe at age 36 was AN OLD MAN. He held onto the ball too long. Not to mention he had a new offensive coordinatior almost every year. Two in the last years with Pete Carroll (remember Zampese?). Then Weis. Then two with the Bills. Then 2 with the Cowboys when Payton left. Jeez, the guy played with 7 different OCs in his last 8 years!!!

Good point. I have always been a Bledsoe fan - he's always handled adversity with class.

I remember excitedly attending his first training camp at Bryant. The QBs (one was Hugh Millen, IIRC), were warming up. Having never been to training camp before, they impressed me with their tight spirals and zip on the ball. Then Bledsoe came out of the Locker room with reporters in tow. When he started to warm-up, it seemed his throws were 2X faster and always landed in the receivers hands with a loud pop. I was an instant fan, it was like seeing superman vs. mortals.
