Can u ask Joy Reid (Taylor) why she thinks Kyle Rittenhouse wasn't under a reasonable doubt using Self Defense against the 3 ppl who attacked him? And now that he is not guilty, how this means White Privilege exists? Can u pls ask her for me!
Sorry Colin, no matter how good of a QB Drew was, or how much of a class act he is, you can't call him a "Superbowl Champ". What other back up QBs do you apply that label too? A Superbowl winning QB "Title" is only reserved for starters.
Bledsoe is a class act
Gained a lot of respect for this dude after I watched that 1st episode of “man in the arena”
Every time I see Bledsoe on these shows I do think he’s brought on and treated as a footnote to Brady’s career. I’m actually glad Colin finally asked him about it and Bledsoe could talk about it.
The only reason he still called to this show is because of TB
@@gjulia312 I know lol
He’s the Wally Pipp of the NFL. The only difference is that Bledsoe was replaced twice. First by Tom Brady, then again later by Tony Romo.🤷🏻♂️😂
Well, he *IS* a footnote, sooo...... 🤷🏻♂️
I found it a bit funny that he mentioned he won one too...because it wasn't really him who won it...it was Brady. And I mean look, I get it, Brady was injured and he did help the Pats survive the AFC Championship Game...but what does it say about him that the Patriots turned to the injured and not 100% Brady for the SuperBowl over him? They didn't trust him. But even if he had a ring purely his own that he had won clean as the starting QB through and through that's still not spectacular when compared to seven. So it's a bit cruel to say but also true...he mostly is a footnote in Brady's story.
As a proud WSU alumni I’ve always been a monstrous Bledsoe fan. He epitomizes the type of Washington guys I grew up with. He’s a solid human being, got a sense of humor, humble- but at the same time, there’s still a little grit in his eye. Historically one of the most underrated QB’s in the game, because as mentioned, he was the guy the GOAT replaced. Tough position for any 4 time pro bowler to be in. He’s wears it like a man and always remains a class act. We love ya Drew!!
Dude was super talented, had a great arm.
I just think He just didn’t have that edge .
When you compares other Qb to Tom Brady’s legacy, a lot of Qb will appear to be just a foot note also.
He deserves more credit for helping turn the franchise around
Bledsoe was a great quarterback
I remembered when romo took over 4 him it was nostalgic
Too us Patriots fans, Drew your history is far from a footnote! We love you man!
Super articulate guy, Drew. Until he starts talking about what’s bothers him; it definitely bothers him.
Always thought Bledsoe was a solid QB
Drew was far better than most people think. He wasn’t perfect but he deserves more credit than he gets and deserves to discuss his career other than him getting hurt paving the way for pretty boy. Make no mistake about it, him and all of his teammates pre-2001 paved the way for the six Super Bowls the patriots won. 23rd all time in passing TD’s out of the thousands of guys to have ever handled an NFL snap.
Mr. Bledsoe you are a Buffalo legend
Love when you being Drew. Best guests are those where it’s more of a conversation rather than an interview’
He’s still #17 on the all time list. That ain’t bad lol.
Drew won the 01 AFC championship game Brady had ankle injury
Drew had already been to a super bowl way before Belichik and Brady got there.
I guess he's a footnote if you're under the age of 30, but if you remember the 90s, he was a damn good QB that had the misfortune of going against Favre and a great Green Bay team.
Love hearing from Drew
The first high school football game I ever saw was Wa-Hi at home in Walla Walla with Drew Bledsoe. I was 8 years old and still have the ticket stub. I love this man. We can all learn a lot from this man and how he carried himself throughout all the bad times
You can tell Bledsoe didn’t like that question and that it eats away at him.
Crew's thought on his own profile made me laugh hysterically.
Colin’s guess on Drew’s trivia question wasn’t even close.
👇”you know” counter
Drew was awesome!
Drew Beldsoe had a cannon, and will always be the Big Bad who beat my #1 ranked UCLA (with Troy Aikman) headed for a national championship.
Drew was a great quarterback that lead the patriots to the start of greatness, what Drew lacked was timing in the pocket and often was waiting for the big play rather than dumping it off. Drew has always been a great guy a stellar team player. What ever was missing was that slight detail of what ever separates him from Tom Brady. As time goes by he proves how humble he actually is and deserves more recognition for his skills bringing the patriots out of the cellar.
The dude still kinda seems torn up about being replaced by Brady when talking about that situation. Hefelt like he shouldve been the starter for that first super bowl
Bledsoe started in 96 when the Pats made the Super Bowl
Drew Bledsoe turned the patriots franchise around. He was my favorite player as a kid. I still can remember him going toe to toe with marino in his rookie year. Class act. An absolute stud at quarterback.
Bledsoe was a beast!
Was always a fan of Bledsoe. I think it goes to show just how good he was that when he went to Buffalo, he immediately broke a bunch of Jim Kelly's records for single season passing. Would have been good to see him go to a team that devoted themselves to him long term after his stint in NE.
Drew's a legend not a footnote. Never would have thought of him as a footnote.
He’s not a legend. No way.
@@johnbrowntheprophet yea idk about a legend but he was a great qb
In his own right, he helped turn around the Pats in the 90’s when they were the worst team in the league prior to his arrival.
Since the sideline is considered a 12th man on defense (this is taught since Pop Warner football), give the defense the ball at the point of the jumble. Simple.
Ooof the beginning was a bit awkward
I can remember his immortal words when people were speculating about where he would go after being supplanted by Brady: I will not go to Cincinnati. That’s hilarious.
He’s a tough dude as well as being a great QB. To come back after suffering a near-fatal internal bleed is manly stuff.
The reason I am a Pats fan today is Drewwwww :)
Bledsoe and parcells saved franchise
Bledsoe is well spoken.
I am still cold from watching Bledsoe carve up my Huskies in the snow at 1992 Apple cup in Pullman
That 50 yard touchdown to two diving receivers in the back of the end zone - is the greatest football play I’ve ever seen with my own eyes
Bledsoe seems like that one fun grandpa
Drew was the man…”black dog” “black dog” I can hear that in my mind like Peyton and “Omaha”
To the fumble the ball:
If you fumble the ball and it goes out of bounce it should be like incomplete pass! You shouldn't get any reward for not keeping the ball! That would be of course true for out of the endzone, safes so many problems with that.
Rule definitely not horrible & it shouldn't be changed
People forget he retired top 10 for every major stat (still top 15 for most), made numerous pro bowls, made the playoffs many times, played in the SB, & won many playoffs games. He didn’t fit w/ Belichick. They went 5-11 Bill’s 1st year, but Drew was really good even the season before Bill was hired! He also made another pro bowl the season after the Pats traded him! Drew should be remembered by fans for all his accomplishments & not just trend on Twitter the day an injury got him replaced …
Well, he *IS* only remembered for being replaced by Brady, soooooo...... 🤷🏻♂️
@@johnbrowntheprophet only to people born last night. Brady didn’t “replace him”. If Drew doesn’t get hurt, Brady never sees the field.
@@babyfacenelson2704 I wasn't born last night and I remember Bledsoe under Belichick being 5-13 in New England before Brady - (.277 Win %) and 0-2 to start the 2001 season before Brady putting up 3 points at home vs The Jets in week 2.. If they would have lost in Week 3 with Bledsoe Brady would have been put in/in week 4 so pal you are 100% wrong
@@babyfacenelson2704 - You don’t know that for sure.
@@reallifelebowski4732 dude, Bledsoe was already a 9 year vet. GTFOH!!
Great arm. Little pocket awareness. I remember Bledsoe getting absolutely blindsided off the edge often when you were screaming at the tv to throw the ball!
True
At least it’s not like Canadian football. In Canadian football if someone fumbles, the last team to touch the ball before it goes out of bounds gets possession. Many teams just slap the ball out of bounce once it’s on the ground (can’t kick it). Totally ridiculous.
One thing that's good about The CFL though is it names an offensive and defensive MVP in it Championship game
Even a guy like Peyton Manning is closer to a bledsoe than a Brady, Brady in a league of his own
bills legend drew bledsoe
😂😂😂
That one year in Buffalo when he threw for like 5,000 yards was crazy. Eric moulds and perless price both over 1,000 yards receiving and Travis Henry over 1,000 yards rushing.
@@salamicheeks7420 peerless was a character, my dad got a chance to be in line behind him at best buy after he was drafted and he was getting all fussed up because his cards were declining 😂 we had a pretty good team then too bad nothing came of it
Love Drew. He was a big part of my younger years as a Patriots fan. But let’s be honest. We as patriot fans were living you and and loving you Drew was loving complacency. You were going to get your yards and your accolades. But Brady took us to the next step. A step that New England fans didn’t think about much. Drink your wine and don’t rewrite the narrative in your mind.
drew is actually quite funny with his deadpannings
Bledsoe is a class act and contributed a lot (along with Kraft and Parcel) to bringing the Patriots out of anonymity. That said, Brady out-worked him and basically took his job. The knock on Bledsoe was that he couldn't read defenses and held onto the ball too long, which was due to not spending enough time watching film. Bledsoe had other commitments and was married with a bunch of kids at a young age, while Brady was single and only had football to worry about.
Nah Drew. You are NOT a footnote! You are a genuine class-act!
Man definitely put himself in front of that family winery sign on purpose
Josh Allen, go Firebaugh! Go Central Valley California! Farm Strong!😎👍
Warren Moon wasn’t even picked. Should have been a number one but not even in the 12th round
Wait…, I thought Brady was the footnote?
I remember Drew Bledsoe as a power in the game! One of the reasons I hate the patriots lol
im late to this video but where would Russ go and be in a better situation? he already has one of the best WR groups with Locket and Metcalf. the only teams with similar WRS and better O-Lines would be the Packers,Bucs,Chiefs,Bills and Patriots. they have already settled with their qb choices so they wont want him. the only team that would kind of make sense is the 49ers. but then their O-Line is bad as only their tackles have been good this season but their overall O-line is not top 10. they also only have Deebo Samuel and he isnt a deep threat. i dont know if Wilson would be happy throwing slants and drag routes to Samuel he usually throws deep. 49ers also have had a bad running game this season. they have no good CBS,their safetys have been bad,their coverage linebackeds have been bad and their only good defensive line player has been Nick Bosa but he is down from what he did his rookie season. i also dont know if the 49ers would want Wilson considering the Seahawks would likely want 2-3 1st round picks and maybe more. Deshaun Watson was apparently worth 3 1st round picks while possibly never being able to play again because of lawsuits so theyre gunna expect alot for Wilson. the only teams i think would be in for him are the Dolphins, Jets, washington and maybe the saints. and no im not saying there are 25qbs better than Wilson im saying there are only 5 or less teams who would be actively into acquiring a qb who has alot of recent injuries,could maybe retire in 2 or less years and is gunna wanna be the highest paid qb at any contract talks wether thats reworking or he stays long enough for a new one.
Where the superbowl ring?
How long is the media and Bledsoe going to milk his brady connection.
Forever
Colin, do you really think that the fumble at the end zone was the reason Washington State lost the game to Oregon? Did you even watch the game? I know you have to be nice to the guest, but please don't mention if you didn't see the whole game. This is how you lose your credibility.
Sorry Colin, no matter how good of a QB Drew was, or how much of a class act he is, you can't call him a "Superbowl Champ". What other back up QBs do you apply that label too? A Superbowl winning QB "Title" is only reserved for starters
Drew is a far greater human than Tom... But he was past him prime (Bills & Cowboys both cut him).
Jan 4, 2023
TOM BRADY LIVIN RENT-FREE in DREW BLEDSOE'S HEAD. 1st String/Champ 1993draft pick 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That is a stupid rule!!!
Would Tom Brady be the GOAT without Drew Bledsoe?
I kno u can't talk about the start of Bradys career without talking bout Bledsoe but that first episode of the new Brady doc focused so much on Bledsoe that after the show i was feeling sorry for Drew instead of thinking Brady is great.
Especially because looking at bradys play during that time it wasn’t like he was way better than Bledsoe. If Bledsoe hadn’t gotten hurt he easily could have won super bowls there.
@@samlane8674 see idk about that. Look at Brady’s performance in Super Bowl 38.. idk if Drew by that time woulda pulled that game out
@@samlane8674 Pats were 5-13 with him as starter under Belichick though. If they continued to lose games the way they were I think Brady might have gotten a shot regardless
@@thesoundofsilence77 That’s true but the patriots defense wasn’t really elite until like halfway through 2001. And Bledsoe beat the Steelers in the AFC championship game. Who knows it’s all hypotheticals and obviously Brady being qb instead of Bledsoe was better for the team. Just feel like ppl act like Brady 01-03 was like levels above Bledsoe which I don’t agree with.
When the story of the Patriots is told it starts with Drew. The Patriots were a laughing stock before he came to New England.
That's THE PATRIOTS FAULT. IF BLEDSOE DOESNT LIKE THE WAY HIS LEGACY IS EXEMPT OR LOOKED OVER
HE SHOULD TAKE IT UP WITH Pat's
fans same fans that didn5 want BRADY ANYMORE. Arrogance. Bill BELICHICK & robert Kraft too.
Patriots fan since 1978, Drew was one of my favorite players. I keep seeing comments where people say Tom Brady came in and did so much better than Drew. What people forget is that New England drafted Drew #1 overall in 1993. He led a strong passing attack at Washington State, and he was asked to do the same when he arrived at NE. Remember, he set the NE team record for passing attempts in a game in his 2nd season. He was asked to throw the ball from the moment he stepped on the NFL stage. Compare that to Tom Brady, who was asked to manage games when he took over. They used their rushing attack and defense to win. Who came off the bench to lead the team to victory in the AFC championship game following the 2001 season? Drew Bledsoe did that because Tom Brady got hurt. Brady benefited from multiple top defensive units over the years, yet very few mention it. Brady was able to develop over the years and became a good player. However, he has always come across as arrogant to me, which is why I never liked him. Remember, I have been a Patriots fan since 1978. Brady cemented his arrogance with his response to a question leading up to Super Bowl XLII. I'm sure you all remember it...Plaxico Burress said he had a dream that the Giants would win 23-17, and Brady said something like "we're only going to score 17?" Then they only score 14 points in the game and lose a perfect season. Go back and look at that game. I will forever be convinced that Brady thought he would set Super Bowl records for passing and didn't bother to take what the Giants were giving them. I was screaming at my television the entire game because Brady had faced attacking defenses before and should have known how to handle the pressure, but he didn't do it. He kept holding the ball as he looked to make big plays to Moss. Drew's demeanor was much better to me, and I still appreciate his time in Foxborough. Drew was a very good player, but they ran a different offense with him than they did with Brady.
Ok did you actually watch SB 42? Welker and Falk had almost 20 catches what are you even talking about? Seems odd to judge Brady by one comment he made in 07 rather than the entirety of his time in NE but to each their own.
Loved Drew he was my childhood quarterback hero.. he definitely could have possibly beat the rams in the first one but Tom had the best pocket awareness of any quarterback.. bledsoe was a statue. My grandfather started watching the Patriots in the 60's..my father has been watching since the 70's. I have been watching since the 90's. All generations agree Tom was the better quarterback. I love Drew. I didn't like Tom the first year after he won. Then we missed the playoffs...... I thought the pats made A big mistake but theydidn't Toms the goat...accept it..can still love Drew.
@@tb12thegoat29 I admit that Tom is better than Drew, but I stand by my belief that he is supremely arrogant. Look at his recently reported activities...trying to work his way to the Dolphins, then returning to the Bucs and getting Arians forced upstairs. He also lobbied the NFL to allow teams to bring their own footballs to games. If he is the GOAT, why would he need to manipulate the footballs? Joe Montana never did that. Tom Brady is NOT the GOAT. 🏈
5:45 ughhhhh you had me until here Colin. Stop watching Rich's segments on this. The rule is fine the way it is. How about you secure the damn ball?
The analogy i have is if you get sacked on the inch line, you keep the ball. But for some reason, if you get sacked in the endzone the other team gets 2 points and the ball? How does that make sense?
Yes, its quirky. But you never lose because of the rule. You have the other 150 or so plays over the course of 4 quarters to win the game. Just let the defense have this one rule where they have a *slight* advantage and stop bailing out the offense
First
Awkward…..
Can u ask Joy Reid (Taylor) why she thinks Kyle Rittenhouse wasn't under a reasonable doubt using Self Defense against the 3 ppl who attacked him? And now that he is not guilty, how this means White Privilege exists? Can u pls ask her for me!
