Drew Bledsoe is a tough subject for me as a Patriots fan. As a person and a teammate, you couldn't ask for a better person in professional sports. He is truly a class-act. He is the kind of guy that will go out and face the media when things are good and not good and he will take all the blame when things go wrong even if it wasn't his fault. He will not voice anything controversial to the media ever.

Now though, we must come to the messy side of it. I have to say I've never seen anyone more incapable of getting out of his own way in my entire life. I've seen him have great years with Curtis Martin, Sam Gash, Terry Glenn, and Ben Coates, but I now find myself wondering if I would've seen any of those without Ben Coates, who was like an automatic first down.

Before Drew went to Dallas, I thought, this guy will be an effective QB again in a system with a TE and some receiving backs to dump off too. Now, I recant that belief. Whatever he had in 1995, he doesn't have it anymore. As a human-being recognizing a great human-being, I like Drew Bledsoe. As a football fan, I think it's time for him to turn to broadcasting.
