Many people have complained that Drew did not throw enough TD's this year and that he has trouble generating points. Bledsoe threw 24 TD passes this year and ran for 2 more.
Jim kelly threw 24 td passes in 1990, 23 in 1992, and 18 (yes wys, that's less than 20) in 1993. In 1992 and 1993 he also threw more interceptions than Drew did this year. He never ran for more than 1 TD in any of the super bowl years. So looking at it that way Drew actually had a better season than any of kelly's super bowl years.
IN the postseason Kelly had 20 TDs and 28 INTs, not great numbers.
THe point of these numbers is not to determine who was better between Drew and Jim, but rather to show that getting rid of drew would be foolish. Drew is a QB who can succeed. Don't complain that he didn't throw enough TDs, because the BIlls have shown that the kind of performance drew gave this year has worked for them in the past. Drew can get the job done. We need to build a better TEAM, and as for the QB position, it is more than adequate. Let's focus on strengthening other positions that need it more.
Is drew going to make mistakes? of course! Might he cost us games? yes! Might he also win us games? Yes! Such is the position of quarterback. The fact is that jim cost us games and made mistakes at times too. And guess what? we went to 4 super bowls! Drew is good enough to get us back to another, not on his own, but with a good supporting cast as well.
