http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drew_BledsoeWhile
Bledsoe's has thrown for a high number of yards and attempts, a frequent criticism is that they are based on volume (attempts, completions, yards) rather than efficiency (passer rating, TD-to-INT ratio, yards per attempt) proving only that he has thrown a great number of times, not that he has thrown well.
[22] According to Don Banks of
Sports Illustrated, Bledsoe's large career totals "reveal more about his longevity than about his excellence".
[23]
Bledsoe ranks fifth all-time in completions (3,839),
seventh in passing yards (44,611),
and 13th in touchdown passes (251)
. Bledsoe's career (57.2) completion percentage is lower than all recent Hall of Fame quarterbacks with the exception of
John Elway.
Bledsoe's NFL career passer rating of (77.1) surpasses nine Hall of Fame Quarterbacks.
Bledsoe's 37 regular season 300-yard passing games ranks 9th in league history.
He also ranks 6th (with 6) in most career regular season 400-yard passing games by an NFL quarterback.
He was selected to the Pro Bowl four times (in 1994, 1996, 1997, 2002).
Bledsoe was eligible for the
Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2011.
