Drew HoF?

[juice]

The question came up on ESPN, Saulsbury said no while Schlereck said yes.

Does Bledsoe have to play well this week against the Steelers to keep his job as the Bills starter next season?

Considering the Numbers that DB has put up over his carreer in completions and passing yards, should he be Hall candidate?

[Pride]

He needs to QB the winning SB team in order to even be considered! The knock on him as always been stats vs big wins... he doesnt have any big wins to note.

If he doesnt do it in the next 2 years... he will NOT be in the HOF.

[FTG]

If he retired today.......NO. Have to see what the next couple years brings.

[The King]

I do think Drew ill make the hall regardless. A SB may put him in first time but I do think he will get in he has accomplished quite a bit statistically that cant be ignored.

[Philagape]

I'd say no. If you don't have a SB win (in which you were the starter), you'd need to have been known as the QB for a legendary offense, like Dan Fouts (and Jim Kelly!). Drew is not famous for that.

[STAMPY]

only if he wins a super bowl, i kno kelly got in. but jim didnt have a decline like drew. if drew continues his rebirth. wins a ring. he'll be in

I don't think he's in yet, but he does have some big wins. He's 2-0 in AFC championship games. Sure he spelled Brady in one of them but he played most of the game.

Agreed.

His only qualification is yardage. By that standard, Vinny Testaverde is a HOF player as well. Compare stats:

Bledsoe, career: 3433-for-6019 (57.0%), 39,619 yards (6.58 yds/att), 221 TD, 180 Int, 76.8 QB Rating.

Vinny Testaverde, career: 3608-for-6390 (56.5%), 44,244 yards (6.92 yds/att), 267 TD, 255 Int, 75.3 QB Rating.

Dave Krieg, career: 3105-for-5311 (58.5%), 38,147 yards (7.18 yds/att), 261 TD, 199 Int, 81.5 QB Rating.

Jim Everett: 2844-for-4923 (57.8%), 34,837 yards (7.08 yds/att), 203 TD, 175 Int, 78.6 QB Rating.

Now, perhaps Drew could get consideration if he was a big-game player. However, he falls woefully short in that area. In fact, Drew has played small in big games more often than not, as displayed by his career playoff stats (7 career games):

129-for-252 (51.2%), 1335 yards (5.3 yds/att), 6 TD, 10 Int, 58.2 QB Rating.

Drew is a high-character guy and an above-average-to-good QB, but he has never been (and never will be) great. The only way he gets in the HOF is if he buys a ticket.

I'm glad you responded this time. I didn't feel like being called hater for the 1,236,236th time so I refrained from posting.
Nice post.
