Interesting to hear the commentary that Bledsoe was fine and not being replaced for health reasons. In my memory that hit had left Bledsoe seriously injured.

He was dying and would’ve died had he gone home. The team Doctors didn’t allow it and made Drew to go to the hospital.
It’s very bizarre that some fans celebrate this potentially deadly hit and think it was the only way the Tom Brady era would’ve started. Drew was struggling badly, so Tom would’ve seen the field at some point during the season.
? He just signed the biggest contract in NFL history and you think he then checked out a few months later? Sad if true.I think by that point, Bledsoe had started to check out a bit. He had gone through multiple head coaches, offensive coordinators, and had a new head coach who clearly did not like the way he played. Belichick cleared out a ton of Bledsoe's friends and favorite targets.
We're obviously not celebrating the seriousness of it, but that it happened.He was dying and would’ve died had he gone home. The team Doctors didn’t allow it and made Drew to go to the hospital.

It's very arguable that it happened just in time to save the season. The Tuck Rule played a role in us losing the game, but it took some absolutely clutch play way beyond his years from Brady, similarly to what Grogan displayed in 1976, for them to make the postseason.It’s very bizarre that some fans...think it was the only way the Tom Brady era would’ve started.

It was entirely Kraft who took the initiative, including flying [elvis] Drew here for the press conference.This much is true, but that was before that year's training camp and preseason, when Belichick got rid of even more players... maybe it became ever clearer that preseason that Belichick didn't want him. Maybe Bledsoe had hoped the new contract would make him feel more secure. I don't know. I just think it was clear Belichick had no interest in running a Bledsoe-type gameplan.
