What If Bledsoe Never Got Hurt?

[Phathugo2467]

"cheating" or "not cheating" aside, and ignoring that fact, If Drew Bledsoe had never gotten hurt and tom brady never seen the field his rookie season, would the patriots have won the super bowl? Would they have even won one up until now if brady was still on the bench?
Always something I think about. Bledsoe wasnt great, but he wasnt bad either. Above average.

i think he was way above average.

bledsoe vs. brady i would take bledsoe i dont like the way tom carries himself ,too tom cruise like for me

I wish Bledsoe was still in. That way the Colts would have more SB wins!

While I think Brady is cocky, I still think that if Bledsoe was in his place, the Pats would not be in the position they've been the past 7 years or so.

Bledsoe had all the talents of a great QB except that clock in his head that goes off and lets him know it's time to get rid of the ball. I'd always heard this, but never really paid attention until he came to Dallas.
He took way too many sacks because of this.

Bledsoe also gave rise to Tony Romo...if his play hadn't go down hill, Romo wouldn't have been put in. And if he'd only played mediocre, they might have waited him out until the end of the season and then traded for or drafted a QB. So Romo might have never played a down.

Same w/Brady...if Bledsoe hadn't got hurt, he might still be the QB of the Pats or they might have drafted or traded for a bigger name than Brady to replace him and Brady might never have seen a down.

The Patriots, Cowboys, and the NFL should be thanking Drew Bledsoe for getting hurt and getting old!

And despite all this,he does have HOF numbers.

Belichek never liked bledsoe to begin with he was a parcells guy

i wonder if brady is gonna knock up this one and leave her like he did the last one, i also wonder how many others there were.
bledsoe has tons of class, never once has he badmouthed the patriots for the way they he got treated by them. same in buffalo, when the bills traded him to the cowboys and kept j p losman, man, the bills do some stupid stuff, kept rob johnson and trade flutie, keep j p and trade bledsoe, well anyways, bledsoe just said, i think i'll buy my kids some cowboys helmets. he never once bad mouthed the pats, the bills or the cowboys.
he had HOF numbers, but more importantly, he has HOF class. i admire him more for his class off the field than his numbers on the field. i can't say that for brady, j p losman, or romo.

Your hard pressed for negative comments about brady when you throw around a situation we all know nothing about just to have something bad to say. Hes been as classy as anyone in the the league. Not to mention building his success around nobodys until last year.
