That Guy 05-17-2006, 08:30 PM A lot of this will get opinional, but here's who I think is better than Drew for the 2006 season:
Peyton Manning
Tom Brady
Carson Palmer
Matt Hasselbeck
Trent Green
Ben Roethlisberger
Mark Brunell
Drew Brees
Jake Delhomme
Marc Bulger
Kurt Warner
Brett Favre
Eli Manning
Donovan McNabb
Brad Johnson
Steve McNair
Michael Vick
Because this list is 100% mine, I left off some names of QBs who I believe are a bit overrated such as Plummer and Leftwich. But I'm sure a lot of people here could come up with a top 15 list that doesn't include Bledsoe.
Bledsoe has top career QB stats due to longevity, which is a credit to him, but being around as long as he has with his rep, one would expect more than one trip to the SB. The guy hasn't even started a playoff game since 1997 (8 years). So the winning just isn't there.
for 2006? you're going to have to axe bulger and mcnabb then, cause they didn't play enough to be considered for any list like this. warner also missed 6 games and with an 11-9 TD-INT ratio couldn't really be put above bledsoe in 2006 either (he also had better WRs and a better OL believe it or not). Farve (even though his team was terrible) is someone i'd also consider very borderline in 2006 because he threw 9 more ints than tds, though he did play on a VERY bad team. Eli's a wash.
that'd make him top 15 (axing bulger/mcnabb/warner, all of which didn't play enough). eli and brunell are essentially somewhat equal production wise. on a bad year like 2006, he's top 15. on a good year (culpepper doesn't suck etc) he'd be top 20. Either way, being average is a lot better than sucking... i mean, he could be tony romo, or alex smith.
#56fanatic 05-17-2006, 08:39 PM Again, not a Cowgirls fan, but when you argue something there should be a little more info. Here is a list of hall of fame QBs and how Bledsoe measures up :
Bledsoe : 33k yards 165 tds 141 ints 81.6 passer rating
HOF QBs
Blanda : 27K yards 236 tds 277 ints 60.6 passer rating
Bradshaw : 28K yards 212 tds 210 ints 70.9 passer rating
Elway : 51.5K yards 300 tds 226 ints 79.9 passer rating
Marino : 61k yards 420 tds 252 ints 86.4 passer rating
Montana 40.5k yards 273 tds 139 ints 92.3 passer rating
Unitas 40.2K yards 290 tds 253 ints 78.2 passer rating.
these are just a few, but given Bledsoe may throw for another 9 to 12k yards before retiring, thats is only 3K a year which may be possible given the TO thing that puts him to around 45K yards, avg 20 tds a year, thats around 245 tds and 15 ints thats around 200 picks. that puts him behind only Marino and Elway in yards, around 4th or 5th in tds and gives him less ints to all except Montana.
Now if you are going on him not winning the big one, can you say Marino isn't hall of fame material because he didn't win the big one? I think not. Bledsoe has been on some pretty bad teams in the past, and could have possible one the big one as a started had he not gotten hurt. All this bledsoe bashing is because him being a Cowgirl. (which I generally agree with) I just think he may be getting a raw deal here

I am not sure how Palmer, Rothlesberger, Eli, Vick, Breese, can even be mentioned. I am not saying these guys wont be better, but to compare year or two stats against a guy that is ranked in the top 10 in most of the all time stats is a bit crazy. Vick is the most over rated, over hyped players in the NFL. Brad Johnson, are you kidding. Serviceable, but not as good. Jake D is not as good as people make him out to be. The guy benefits from throwing hell marrys to Smith. He throws way too many ints and gets help from a pretty damn good defense most of the time. Hasselbeck has had a couple of good years, hasn't played enough yet. Green has been pretty good I'll give you that, McNair, aside from his heart of champion and toughness is one of the great QBs in todays NFL. Drew breese, jury still out. Lets see what he does in New Orleans. Bledsoe has been with 3 teams, 3 offenses to learn and puts up pretty consistant numbers.
Top Qbs in todays NFL (not in any order)
P. Manning
D. McNabb
D. Bledsoe
C. Palmer
S. McNair
K. Warner
J. Plummer
C.Pennington (when healthy)
T. Brady
B. Farve
Rest are probably about average to NFL standards. ( I may have forgotten someone obvious, forgive me if I did)

I don't have his inclusive team TD stat handy, but if the offense doesn't score under him, then I wouldn't mention Bledsoe in the same breath as Marino, Elway, Unitas, or Montana.
number21isabadman 05-17-2006, 08:55 PM AIR MCNAIR ha are you joking
GTripp0012 05-17-2006, 08:57 PM AIR MCNAIR ha are you jokingJust because I put a guy on that list of 17 does not mean I think highly of him. Just higher than Bledsoe at this point in their careers.
That Guy 05-17-2006, 09:20 PM those career stats posted for bledsoe are wrong.
nfl.com:
43,447 yards, 248 tds, 198 ints, 55.7% completion, started 187 or 188 career games, only missed 20 games in 14 years (14 of which came in 2001).

#56fanatic 05-18-2006, 09:21 AM hey 56fanatic,you going to change your name now that lavar has left?
this is only about the 10th time I have seen this question. And the answer will remain a secret... just kidding, NO. I liked LaVar before he came to washington. I followed him at Penn State, so I think I will keep it as a tribute to a fallen hero, or a washed up LB, which ever.
