Bledsoe calls it quits
Quote:
Two-time Super Bowl QB retires after 14 NFL seasons
NEW YORK (AP) -- Drew Bledsoe retired Wednesday, ending a 14-year career in which he made two Super Bowls.
The top overall pick by New England in the 1993 draft out of Washington State, the four-time Pro Bowl quarterback played for the Patriots, Buffalo Bills and Dallas Cowboys. He was a starter for all three teams, but ended up as a backup with the Cowboys.
Bledsoe threw for 44,611 yards and 251 touchdown passes in his career.
"I feel so fortunate, so honored, to have played this game that I love for so long, with so many great players, and in front of so many wonderful fans," he said. "I fulfilled a childhood dream the first time I stepped on an NFL field, and the league did not let me down one time. I retire with a smile on my face, in good health, and ready to spend autumns at my kids' games instead of my own. I'm excited to start the next chapter of my life."
The 35-year-old Bledsoe lost his starting job to Tom Brady in New England in 2001 when Bledsoe got hurt in the second game of the season, and to Tony Romo in Dallas after Game 6 of last season.

Hell naw...in 14 seasons he averaged approximately 3200 yards and 17 TD's a year. Never won a SB either. Need gaudier stats than that if you've never won a championship or done anything else of significance.

I really can't believe there is any discussion that he's a HOFer. He's not. For maybe 1-2 years, he could have been considered "one of the best". That's it.
Imagine Boomer Esiason if he played for 2-3 more years. Would Boomer have been a HOFer? Not even close.
If Ken Anderson can't even make it...
