On a evening where Brady takes over as the Patriots career passing yards leader from Bledsoe when he passes for more than 163 yards this evening (29,657 currently held by Drew) , I want to express my utmost respect to Drew who was my favorite sports figure in the late 90s and I am sure it is going to be an honor for Tom to overthrow Drew as Patriots all-time passing leader in yardage this evening....It would take a monstrous defensive effort from the Saints to stop Brady from reaching this milestone that at one time no one ever thought would be surpassed for the forseeable future while it was back a decade ago.
Lets remember what Drew did for this organization from taking us from the laughing stock of the league in 1990 to a Super Bowl appearance just 6 years later.
Great stuff, very well put.
Drew Bledsoe is still in the top 10 most important players/people in the rise of this Patriots organization, IMO. Heck, maybe top half dozen. Not only that, he was a lot of fun to watch & he was a heck of a competitor. I know he occasionally drove people mad with his style of play, but I grew up watching Bledsoe and certainly am a huge fan of his. I'm in that age group that is pretty spoiled in that its been able to see Bledsoe & Brady lead this team - which is something I definitely do not take for granted.
