As a longtime Patriots fan, Drew Bledsoe was a great player, and his professionalism and sacrifice has always been appreciated. He will never be forgotten, he helped bring the Patriots from the worst team to the super bowl. His coming back to relieve Brady when he got injured and getting us into the super bowl and doing his job. He may never get to be the #1 guy on a super bowl winning team, but he'll always be remembered as a top tier human being, and the guy that helped build the stage that let Brady shine.

I think a lot of people tend to forget that Bledsoe had already been to the big game before Brady's arrival.

I always liked Bledsoe, he was a top notch QB and handled the situation with Brady better than I would have. I sincerely hope he's happy with his life post-NFL.

I like the quote at the end " everyone can't be the greatest, but that doesn't mean they still weren't great " that's one of best quotes I heard in a long time!!! 👌🏼

It’s crazy to think if Bledsoe never got injured Tom Brady probably would have never gotten a chance and Peyton Manning and Ben Roethlisberger could have each gotten more than 2 rings if not for Brady and the whole landscape of the NFL would have been changed forever

Bledsoe definitely could have reacted much worse than he did when it comes to losing his job in NE

Drew Bledsoe was one of the best quarterbacks in the league until Tom Brady supplanted him as starting QB for the Patriots. Even after he left the team, a lot of teams would have killed to have had him behind center. I'm not a Pats fan, but I won't forget him.

That Drew Bledsoe injury literally altered the course of the NFL dramatically. Set off a massive chain reaction of events

Drew Bledsoe threw a pretty sweet TD pass against the Steelers. He did play a role in the 2001 Team.

As a Pats fan, I will always be grateful to Drew for helping to take NE out of the cellar. He will always be the 2nd best QB the team ever had.

Joe Theismann once said that he played hurt all the time. He didn't want his coach to even think the guy sitting on the bench over there could play. I couldn't imagine how players fell when they see their backups take over the team. Can't wait to watch this one.

Man, I remember when Drew Bledsoe was basically Mr Monday night. He was a superb QB who at the time, looked like the future of The Patriots.

I remember when Bledsoe got drafted. The Seahawks had the second pick and, as a Seahawks fan, I really wanted to see the Washington State product get chosen by the home state team. And it could've happened. There was another QB in the #1 pick conversation, and I was hoping beyond hope that the Pats would pass on Bledsoe and take the other guy. Nope. The Patriots took Bledsoe, and my Seahawks got... Rick Mirer. That said, I remained a Bledsoe fan. He was a damn good QB.

I have been telling people this is exactly what happened to Carson Wentz. You can’t tell me Wentz was happy that Nick Foles took that great Eagles team and won the Super Bowl he feels was his for the taking. I believe it completely shattered his confidence and soured his relationship with the team. Not to mention he got hurt again the following season and Foles came to the rescue and led the team back to the playoffs and another postseason win. Different player, same story for Wentz when compared to Bledsoe. Except Wentz was never as good as Drew Bledsoe in my opinion.

Man that’s gotta be so tough. Having your job took and seeing that guy go on to to the things you’ve dreamed of.

Thanks for covering this story that needed to be told. Bledsoe is a great QB that should be remembered by his own accomplishments.

Bledsoe was my favorite player as a kid and was the reason I became a Pats fan. Shoutout to backyard football 98, for making me a Pats fan at the perfect moment.

Bledsoe was no scrub, it was just an unfortunate circumstance for him but an opportunity for TB that blew up greatly. I always wanted to know what he felt when Brady led the Pats to the first championship, when I heard Bledsoe's take on Man In The Arena, wow

Drew will always be the most misunderstood qb right up there with romo

Kind of reminds me of Tyrod Taylor and the Bills. He was the QB to break their playoff drought and got lost to history shortly after when Josh Allen replaced him and was off the team. He even started the running quarterback trend in Buffalo and Allen overtook that too

I always said, Drew may have actually been the more talented QB. But things happen the way they do because they are meant to. I still credit him with a huge part of the Patriots first SB. They don’t get there without him

Thank you for the Bledsoe vid. Bledsoe was a great QB. Unfortunately him getting injured changed the NFL forever.

Another beautiful and inspirational story by the most prolific football storyteller of all time.

There was alot of people in Boston media that wanted Bill to go back to Bledsoe… staying with Brady was the best Move Belicheck ever made… also the worst was getting rid of Brady 😂

Dude. You have mastered your craft. "Queue da Wayne!!!"

There isn't a player,GM, coach or anyone that changed the course of NFL history like Mo Lewis did

A New FlemLo video while I'm at work and on lunch "CUE THE WAYNE"🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Coming from NE(also being a cincy fan) I appreciate this video. Makes me go back to being 10 years old. Before all this I used to watch Brady at Michigan play against my cousin who was a DB at Syracuse. Glad I’ve got to see brady pre NE

Love your attention to detail and how you always stay profefssional in a interesting manner. Great job!

Almost lost me with the dad analogy but tied it in well. Great versatile intro. Flemo doesn’t miss. Let’s gooo

You did a great job with that Intro to the video, I was able to feel everything in that story about the other guy taking over as dad

He went to my high school in walla walla Washington where he now lives and does wine stuff. Pretty cool dude. Walks around just like a normal joe and talks with people whenever some one recognizes him.

As a lifelong Bills fan, Bledsoe's injury may be even more bitter for us than the 4 Falls. Bledsoe probably wouldn't have had any more difficulty with us than Brady did but I also doubt he would've lead the Pats to the kind of dynasty that Brady did.

My hats off to these videos. You drop not just excellent content but your message is clear, love for the game and the players in it. Props to you.

I was a Buffalo Bills fan in the early 2000s when Bledsoe was signed by them, and having him was heartbreaking. Bledsoe was definitely a better QB on paper than anyone the Bills had since Kelly, but it didn't end well. The first season he was there started out well and they were 5-3, he was lighting things up. He came back to planet earth and they finished 8-8. He didn't play well the next two years and they let him go in favor of JP Losman of all people. He went to Dallas and quickly played himself out of the league when Romo emerged. Bledsoe always looked like he should have been good but it never really materialized.

The only one Bill resembling a QB between Bledsoe and Josh Allen was Tyrod Taylor. Should've stuck with him a bit more.

This is my favorite channel right now. Great guy with great content. Keep it up man.

If it wasn’t for the Ryan Leaf/Peyton Manning draft when teams struggled to pick between the two and Leaf eventually bombing, the Rick Mirer/Drew Bledsoe would be the controversial draft everyone would remember. Nobody could decide who should go first overall and both were seen as future superstars. Well we all know how Mirer turned out. The fact he had those awful Seattle O-lines his first few years probably had a lot to do with it. Bledsoe was one of the most talented and gifted players the NFL has ever seen. He had a huge cannon for an arm. He had several holes in his game though. He seemed to be a better version of Jeff George without the ego. I watched Bledsoe throughout the 90’s and he had a great long passing game but his decision making and scrambling abilities were glaring problems. Great qb’s like Brady, Manning, Starr, Aikmen, Largent, Young and Montana were the best at reading a defense and attacking its weakness. Bledsoe wasn’t able to figure that out. If it wasn’t for his natural athletic ability and an accurate cannon for an arm, he would have been just another meh quarterback.

FlemLo your the best and I really appreciate your effort in every video it’s so refreshing lm, your passion soul and countless videos have been a blessing, keep it growing and flowing young king

Bledsoe is a class act and he was the reason the pats where in the super bowl that year I was the lucky one when Bledsoe was introduced to Bills mafia he threw a pass into the crowd and I was the one who caught it. Thank you Drew Bledsoe.

Just for context Bledsoe was 6-12 under Belichick and if that had continued he probably would have been traded any way and the team torn down in a rebuild. Bradys consistent steady style of play worked better than Bledsoes long ball style. Bledsoe got 9 years to show what he could do with the Pats and then 5 more years elsewhere no shame in not being the goat.

As someone from New England I can say we never forgot about Bledsoe. So much in fact that there were a loud subset of the Pats fanbase that would vehemently deny that Brady was a great QB for the first decade of Brady's career. It wasn't until Brady bounced back from his 2008 injury to make league MVP in 2011 (with a below average offense) that the haters started to quiet. You will still see a few Bledsoe jerseys at every Pats game to this day.

Grew up with drew Bledsoe In walla walla! Super down to earth guy, real inspiration for our small town. Loved him at WSU too! Go cougs!!

How does these videos not have millions of views?! Keep up the phenomenal work FlemLo. Your time is near.

Bledsoe was real good, I remember how big of deal it was when he got injured. People forget that's what made the Brady story even more crazy, he had replace a legit great QB.

Appreciate the content. Stay bless FlemLo

that was an amazing analogy, in just 2 mins you made me feel for drew like i've never before

Thanks for this video! I went to high school 15 miles south of WSU and watched Drew live several times, the Apple Cup in the snow made him my favorite QB for life. I burned so bad when he won that second AFC championship game and then sat for the Superbowl. I'll always hold a grudge against the Patriots for how that went down, but like you said, they had so much success that no logical argument holds any water. Great video!

Yeah it’s a shame Drew went out like that. On the other hand, we all got to see the rise of the greatest of all time in real time

Someone dropped one of your videos in a fb comment section. This is the first one I've watch and I'm now a big fan. Great content.

Excellent editorial, as always, but I'm surprised you didn't get into Bledsoe's post football life. Despite the brutal turn his career took, he's absolutely flourished off the field.

One of the greatest stories ever heard, I just keep rewinding the first few minutes of this video, low Fi trip hop hip hop music, love that melancholy sounding. Thank you flem loz

I really enjoy listening to your stories about NFL players... i grew up watching drew and still remember that hit and never could of guessed the aftermath. Great content. 👍

FlemLo Raps.. does it again. Thanks a lot man🙌🤘🙌 Killer entire production, thank-you for sharing💥✌️

The family analogy at the beginning had me rolling. "He became the best dad ever" 😂😂😂

Flemlo My man keep doing what you do bro much appreciated 💪🏾👊🏾

Damn Flem, you brought the heat here. Man I still think back to watching your NCAA 14 content and it's just awesome to see you grow and thrive. Keep bringing that fire bro, stay up!

Love Drew always have! As a Bills fan it was great to have him after New England was finished with him. I was always sad about the same thing happening to him in Dallas with Romo.

I watched the man in the arena and personally the whole doc gave me a lot of emotions. I especially felt for Drew Bledsoe. He was clearly hurt, unable to finish some sentences when talking about the situation. It was hard to watch

Another masterfully made video, sir. Well done, indeed. I too find it a little sad how most people don't remember Drew Bledsoe for being as awesome as he actually was. I hope he sees your video. May just make him feel a little better knowing that some people still remember

Good video as always man I like how you put sprinkle life lessons in your videos much respect

U have come a long way man. I used to watch you freshman year of high school. I am now a senior in college my guy. Love u cuh. Inspiring to see how u turned a hobby into a dram come true

Love the job you doing with your channel great story telling

Bill never trusted Drew in clutch situations ..The 10 year contract he had was more about owners than the Pats coaching staff liking drew

FlemLo you are so right that the soul lives on in the memories that carry on with your message. You are different. You see the rose when needed. Wherever you go I wish you peace.

Great video! Great prospective! You should do a video on Tyrod Taylor and how he kick started the careers of other qbs. Love your vids! Keep it up fam!

Once again the champion voice for those forgotten or unnoticed! Well Done

Flem I can't say enough on how much I love your awesome work and videos. Stay blessed eat well. We need you healthy and continue being the GOAT on making sports stories videos. Mad respect homie

Damn shoutout Drew man, dude was the definition of "tough as nails".

You speaking the analogy of what happened all the while showing the elevators which showed 2 people going up and 1 going down was excellent Fam. Perfectly illustrated.

Outstanding video my dude glad to see Drew Bledsoe get some love. Can you do Tommy Maddox next?

By far one of my favorite videos that you’ve done. 💯

I LOVE what you guys are doing keep it up brothas. If you take requests.... A lot of your fans (especially us in Chicago) would really enjoy a DRose interview. Thanks for another great one!

Flemlo, you are the best story teller on KZfaq💯. You are able to tell the story of these players like no other. Well done, keep up the great work👍.

Love Drew. Solid player, I’ll always appreciate him as a Pats fan, and he seems like a really classy and nice guy. Plus he’s the only Pats QB my mom has ever liked, so he has that going for him.

Been watching you for years now Flem and man… your work is truly art man. You always give a unique perspective with factual information. And I always feel like I can learn something from each video you Produce💯🤞🏾love my dawg

Drew Bledsoe was one of my favorite QBs growing up. I was really rooting for him after he left the Pats.

Loving the new intro my guy, look at FlemLo so inspirational man 🫡

Best episode yet. Great work.

Love your content flemlo‼️

Loved the analogy you used at the start. Good stuff flemlo

Yeah I watched the doc man in the arena(it was a great doc and I'm glad it had all those parts.. Very much needed) and even though he was honest and classy about it... U could still see the pain in his face and in his words..

Flemlo... You are a genius brotha. Thanks for another great video 👍

Bruh. Love your content. Have loved it for a few years now! I don’t remember which video was the first one I watched from you, but I love your stuff. I don’t know if you have to push a button for it, and I’m glad you’re getting money, but there were multiple unskippable commercials on here. I don’t know if you can fix it, or even want to, but kinda hurt the experience.

Great video..Good take on that situation

Ive always wonder had Bledsoe not had the freak injury in 2001 losing starting job to Tom would he have led the Patriots to those three SBs in 02, 04 and 05. It’s easy to say yeah but we would never know very interesting argument.

Thanks for this video, I literally feel the same and no one talks about how great and iconic Drew Bledsoe was at a point in time, there’s a reason his jerseys still can be seen walking down the street , man was a DOG thanks for letting the world know

Great video as always brother. You never disappoint.

Good stuff man, I really enjoy your content! The KZfaq algorithm decided to bring me back to you, it had been a while since they recommended your videos.

That intro was wild bro! Man cutting the grass is now raising the family! Geesh!

I love your videos man keep up the good work

Man you do some great videos FlemLo. Salute 🫡

"Like the radioactive spider in Spiderman..." Flemlo, you kill me!

Theres a children's book called "It's not going to get better when you grow up." By Drew Bledsoe. Not this Drew Bledsoe but the title of the book and the name of the author being a coincidence is funny in a dark way.

Haven’t heard of the story of Drew Bledsoe much, wonder how it was for Patriots fans before Tom.

Damnn FlemLo this video was good asf, your one of the best on YT👑💯

Appreciate the video my dad was a fan of them even back in the 80s and drew bledsoe played college at wsu which is near my neck of the woods and know a few people who met him and said he's a good guy.

Been watching bro for awhile. Can’t wait to see him hit that 1m sub mark. I walk away from every vid more knowledgeable about the sport I love.

Drew Bledsoe was the jersey I would see most in my hometown before his injury that led to Tom Brady's opportunity. Keep in mind I live on the opposite side of the country. He was an excellent player.
