“I know that when I was playing, the first thing I tried to do as a quarterback was not hurt your team - and I know Tom’s the same way,” said Bledsoe. “You can’t put your team in jeopardy. I haven’t asked (Brady) about it and I haven’t watched his interviews, but I bet you he’s prouder of the five interceptions than he is about the high number of touchdown passes.”

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!!!
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 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..
I can not say enough how much I admire and respect Drew Bledsoe. He is, in my opinion, a hall of famer. A good man, and a very very very good quarterback. He saved the patriots for new england, and was part of two superbowl teams.. he is a champion. and by everything i've ever seen or read a classy, kind and decent gentleman. I'm really proud that he was a patriot.
