Drew is still my second favorite QB of all time maybe even Second Favorite Player of all time. But Guys like Troy and Bru give him a run for spot #2 behind Mr. Bundchen (as the CHB would like us to believe).
At one point, Bledsoe was the NFL player who had collected the most player career earnings (actually received the most cash as a player) though I'm probably not saying that in the best way. Of course there were many players with higher contracts but he actually got paid the most whereas most players don't actually get every dollar that is in their contract.
I'm happy to see that Drew is getting some respect in this thread. It's almost impossible to call oneself a Patriots fan and not respect and admire the guy. He managed the most important QB transition in the history of the franchise with grace and dignity; he also made some big plays in the 2001/02 Playoffs when TB was injured. If he had a ring, he'd be in the HOF discussion, but probably as a long shot.

How anyone here can hate Bledsoe is beyond me. The guy brought us out of the embarrassment age and did some decent things here......He and Coates were fun to watch and he did alot for the community. He is a CLASS act most importantly, and handled the demotion to the bench in 2001 with class and professionalism. I am happy for him and wish him the best of luck in his endeavors after football.....
