Absolutely.........he's a class guy and is playing solid, if not, outstanding football. He wins a SB............he will supplant Jimbo IMHO

First: Why couldn't he?

Second: Bledsoe seems to have the combination of athletic ability, knowledge of the game of football, leadership quality, and ability to connect with the public that Jim Kelly also had. The guys in between, from Todd Collins to Doug Flutie to RJ to AVP, were all lacking in 1 or more of those qualities.

Drew Bledsoe is already building a HOF-caliber career. 5, 6 or 7 or hopefully even more years as the starter of the Bills, playing anywhere near the level of what he's playing now, will take him right up there to Kelly.

A Super Bowl win? He would be lauded as the guy who brought a title here for the first time in the NFL.

Jim Kelly will never be completely knocked off the pedestal in Bills lore, but if Drew Bledsoe can continue what he's started, and maybe even lead us to the promised land, then Bledsoe will stand right next to Kelly in Bills history and reverence.

He's a class act. and is a;ready winning fans over and not just from on field performances but also off field persona.

Win a super bowl he will at least be tied, win two-no contest.
