I don't know whether this speaks more about Kerry Collins or Drew Bledsoe, but i thought it was interesting that they are very similar QBs in many ways. Just on name basis, DREW BLEDSOE is much more marquee than Kerry Collins but their numbers aren't all that different. They pretty much have the same build, are immoble, and complete passes at the same %. Their QB ratings are also both surprisingly close. One alarming stat that really stuck out to me was just how many times Drew was sacked. The Bills offense was allegedly better than the Giants all the way around last season except for TE. You would think that Collins would have been the one hitting the carpet more than Drew. And also, not to pile on drew, but you would think with Moulds, Price, and O'Henry, your numbers would be be A LOT better than kerry collins with tiki barber, amani toomer, and ike hilliard? If the situations were reversed, do you think Drew would have had as good a season on the Giants and Kerry would have put up the same numbers on the Bills? .... So what does all of this mean?
Either:
A) Kerry Collins is a much better QB than he is given credit for
or
B) Maybe Drew Bledsoe's "hall of fame" statistics are being put up in an era where kerry collins can put up similar stats, and grocery baggers can come off the street and win SB and Regular season MVP awards.
I'm really not sure what conclusion to draw, but i thought it was an interesting comparison to throw out there and let others chew on.
