He took some wicked hits and bounced back; it was sort of amazing. And he was a big tall giraffe out there, highly exposed, and took some awful shots.
The farther away the past becomes, the more fondly people remember Drew.
For a few years he injected life in this franchise and deserves a ton of credit but lets stop short of saying he was great and a hard worker, huh?
Drew was a graet QB. He played up to his ability and played under a real SOB of a coach (Parcells) (Parcells was an ahole to Phil Simms also) but never complained. Drew's only fault was that he has the misfortune to play on same team as the GOAT QB.
I can't ever see Drew as an all timer in any era. Too many forced passes and bad decisions. Plus he was so immobile a pigeon would take a crap on him.
Bledsoe was damn good but it wasn't long after Brady took over that I felt like Bledsoe had lost his job.
Brady just seemed to play calm under pressure and didn't throw the inopportune pick.
The preference was for TB12 to stay in but he did fine.Not sure how Bledsoe feels about it but I was glad he was able to go in for an injured Brady and finish the win against the Steelers during that road to the eventual SB victory. He can wear that SB ring proudly as he handled the entire Brady/Bledsoe issue with class, helped Brady during games throughout the season and came in and finished the win against the Steelers.
I always liked that game, Bledsoe gets really underrated because of how good Brady isNot sure how Bledsoe feels about it but I was glad he was able to go in for an injured Brady and finish the win against the Steelers during that road to the eventual SB victory.
