Honestly would have preferred to see the Packers/Saints matchup as the first Monday night game of the season. Always glad to see the Pats playing Monday night, but the Pats/Dolphins just doesn't seem to have the "oomph" of the first Monday night game.

I just hope they don't trade down this year in the draft like they have done in previous years. If anything, move up. Bradys not getting younger, so let's pick them now.

There's a lot of crappy MNF games this year. Further, teams like the Jaguars get not only one, but TWO games on MNF this year. What gives?

Drew Bledsoe nominated for the Pats hall of fame.
Absolutely, he is the guy that Parcells drafted that turned a sorry franchise around

Drew was very very good, to bad he would not put the work in to become one of great ones.

I thought it was Mo Lewis who turned the Patriots franchise around...

Are they going to dedicate a statue in his honor, or are they just going to have him emulate his pocket awareness and stand on the pedestal himself?

Ha, ha, don't forget when Brady got hurt in the 2001
conference championship game and Drew came in to win the game.

Yeah, he marched them right down the field for a touchdown right before the end of the first half. Can't remember exactly, wasn't it against the Steelers?

Bruins Fan · 04-21-2011, 02:54 PM

Yep Steelers.

Bledsoe rocked. One of the best arms of his era. Not much bad to say. He played in two Super Bowl seasons; not many other QB's can say that.

I go back to when the Patriots were founded and no doubt that Drew was critical to the current success of the team but I have to vote for Antwine, he was just amazing to watch. I could never support Parcells after he sold the team out while attending a Super Bowl with the Patriots in attendance.

Bledsoe will always be my favorite Pats player. As many said, this franchise was a joke before he came here. Granted, Parcells had a lot to do with it too. He might not have been a mobile qb but man coul he sling the ball. He gets too much crap for not being able to move around but I could think of a bunch of others that were exactly like that but people praise them. Imagine if Parcells chose Mirrer

People forget that when Bledsoe got hurt so badly taking that hit on the sidelines, we all thought that the season was over because the team was about to be turned over to an unproven career second stringer named Brady.. we all moaned and groaned and cursed our and Bledsoe's bad luck.

No doubt he was key in turning the franchise around. I'd like to see Brady help induct him into the Pats hall of fame.

I think that I was the only person to have made money on betting on Brady that first game!!

Anyway, Bledsoe was a great pocket QB, his downside the NFL was starting to be more mobile right in the middle of Bledsoe's carreer and he did not change. If he was around about 5-6 years earlier he'd be one of the greatest QBs in the league.
