But when Brady took over I was 4 or 5 I think so I didn’t see him.

I look at online convos and some folks say he was top 5/10 at the time


Other folks say the Patriots needed a new QB and Bledsoe wasn’t that guy.

I look at his stats and he definitely wasn’t trash though. Top 20 all time yards

Right outside top 20 in TDs…13 year career


As a younger breh the closest dudes I can compare him to would be Stafford/Cousins. Would y’all say that’s about where he’s at?

From what ive watched, researched, and been told from old heads: He was good in the 90s, genuine top 10 QB in his hey day

But he started to really struggle around the turn of the decade

99, 2000

He was ass those years. running back Curtis Martin left, his Tight end Ben Coates declined left.

This made Bledsoe's flaws harder to cover up (statue in the pocket, holding onto the ball too long, being too aggressive downfield, bad poise)

he was a prototypical QB for his era
big strong arm, big size :dame: not particularly super accurate. obviously a statue.

him and Favre came into the league around the same exact time, and Favre kinda took that formula to much higher level
hed be in top 5-10 QBs in those 94 to 2000 seasons but never really could string it together for a prolonged time

Curtis Martin was on the Patriots!? :ohhh: I legit thought he was on the Jets his entire career :russ:


I'm 32 and didn't start watching football until the early 2000s.
