Read more at: http://www.patriots.com/alumni/index.cfm?ac=alumninewsdetail&pid=48479&pcid=48&cpI remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Deserves it. -
Re: Bledsoe named to the Patriots HOF.
the guy's injury ushered in their greatest (albeit cheat infested) championship run. Hell, if fitz somehow magically sends us to the superbowl and wins, i'll vote in edwards to the bills hall of fame for being so bad that we canned him. Same holds true for when fitz isn't the guy to take us to the promised land.Comment

He's a borderline NFL HOFer so him making the Pats HOF is very well deserved and not surprising.Comment

If Donahoe didn't screw everything up by insisting Losman start in year two over Bledsoe this whole decade could have been much different.Comment

Re: Bledsoe named to the Patriots HOF.
I agree, Bledsoe wasn't perfect, but he made this team a hell of a lot better. Not too mention FA's were interested in coming here.Originally posted by k-oneputtI remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming.

Re: Bledsoe named to the Patriots HOF.
He deserves the award but his biggest moment for the Pats was getting injured, so Brady could take over permanently. A shame but the Pats fans will always remember him that way.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for witComment

Re: Bledsoe named to the Patriots HOF.
He got nominated with the largest percentage of votes ever... I think he'll be more remembered for making the franchise relevant again.Originally posted by Night TrainI remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming.

Re: Bledsoe named to the Patriots HOF.
I can see him being a franchise HOFer, but not an NFL HOFer. He has the stats but doesn't have the wins or the playoff success.Comment
