Drew Bledsoe: It took me a while before I could cheer for the pats

[PatriotReign77]

Lots of Patriot related stuff in this vid, we've got an interview with Drew Bledsoe at the 22:00 min mark where he speaks candidly about his relationship with the organization today as well as Joe Theismann and Sean Salisbury talking about Brady as the definitive #1 QB of all time

It still is taking me a while to believe that Bledsoe is any better than Neil Lomax, or that he is honored like some kind of hero here and Julius Adams is not

Bledsoe and Lomax weren't all that different but Bledsoe accompanied parcells and the turnaround.
He also put up big numbers which gave fans something to cheer about.

I'd rather have Lomax.

Can't say I blame him. Hey never forget without Bledsoe we might not have won the 2001 AFCCG. He stood in well for Tom.

2nd best QB in Pat's history. Helped turn around a horrible team with Parcells. Made it to the SB in his 3rd season. Loved Drew, I'd say he was more Testeverde than Lomax. Though of course a much bigger arm. I'm glad he has a ring from the 2001 season, but thank God BB made the decision to stay with Brady. It changed history.

We had some huge fights in the forum that year leading up to the Super Bowl.
It was pretty much right down the middle ... Brady fans vs Bledsoe loyalists.
Had to be brutal on Drew ... no question.

 

[Mogamedogz]

I love Drew. Can totally understand his bitterness. As Patriots fans we owe him our unquestioned loyalty.

He made it cool to be a Patriots fan again for a lot of us. As kids, we use to have to root for two teams every year before Drew. The Pats during the regular season, then a separate team in the playoffs every year so we'd still have a rooting interest. Typically whoever The Dolphins or Bills were playing in the first round.

Drew is my guy.

He played. He didn't play well. He almost cost us the game with a stupid pick but it was dropped.
We might have lost if instead if him we had no backup
QB at all but any competent NFL QB would have done as well.

Pretty harsh. And I have to disagree. Not any QB comes in cold and drives down the field for a score.

Cold hard football facts, I agree.
Was an early Bledsoe defector and early Brady's Lady.
However, just as with Drew himself, over time I have warmed more and more to embracing the positives of his legacy.
Glad to see his reaction is what mine would have been in that situation and wish him continued happiness.

Not harsh just reality. He played poorly.
He didn't exactly "drive them down the field" he drove them from the + 40.
After that he was 7/18 for 66 yards and would have handed the game away with a terrible pick but it was dropped.

Don't forget about the throw backwards over his head while being sacked!

That was abominable

Dreeeeeeeeeeeeew

Drew was awesome

 

[Patriot Missile]

Who could forget the windmill throw?

 

[Patjew]

Drew was a good QB and seems to be a great guy.

I'm a prideful guy too and I can understand why he would harbor resentment.

 

[SammyBlueCat]

If Drew had a little bit of cat-like quickness, he would have had a better career.
Never the less I still like him.

Always liked Drew ! And I will always be for ever grateful for the classy and professional way he handed himself when he lost his job to Brady. He could have made it uncomfortable for everyone and destroyed the faith the locker room had in young Tom, but he didn't . He was a big part of that season and I will admit that I was in the Bledsoe camp , I was mad at BB for giving his job away to Brady . I became a Brady fan after Drew was traded .
