Bledsoe "a big part"? Absolute nonsense! That Patriots team was 0 -2, with Bledsoe running things as their QB (and pathetic offensively). The truth is that there would have been NO Playoffs at all for the Patriots that season, based on Bledsoe's performance, just like that same team and coach had floundered with a 5 - 11 record with Bledsoe as the QB in 2000 the previous year (despite a good Defense). Now Tom Brady was 14 -3 with that same personnel group. . I know people like to point out Bledsoe coming off the bench in the AFC championship, but the truth is that most all of the big points in that AFC game came from the Patriots special teams play (Troy Brown punt return for a TD, a Field Goal blocked and runback for another TD). Bledsoe's own completion percentage was less than 50% in that game -- not heroic or "Star" material at all. I think Bledsoe is a nice guy, but people seem to overlook all his Interceptions, poor judgements, and bumbling as a player ... and want to make him into something he was not. History shows Bledsoe lost his QB job three different times, on three different times --- because he never could play well in big games. Remember Bledsoe blew the Super Bowl for The Patriots in 1996, as he chucked-up 4 Interceptions. How do you expect to ever win against good teams with 4 interceptions? This is why he was eventually benched everywhere that he went.

+FreeSociety1 Thank you!

+FreeSociety1 or maybe he meant because he got injured and tom got to play. also drew even showed/told tom how not to play obviously on how he performed.

@@FreeSociety1 I can tell you are a true Patriot *fan* throwing any of your players and coaches under the bus and denying them any and all credit. The team that won the Super Bowl was NOT the same team that went 5-11. From 2000 to 2001 Belichick recreated that roster with 30+ personnel changes. Yes thats 30+ different players on the Super Bowl roster than the 5-11 roster...He was just starting to build his team and get the right pieces.

@@andreabae852 Well...for the 2001 team all the big defensive stars were primarily Bill Parcells people like Ty Law, Willie McGinnst, Lawyer Malloy, Teddy Bruschi, Ted Johnson, etc. and a lot of the noteworthy offensive players like Troy Brown, Andrew Vinateri. The most significant difference between the 5-11 team (2000), and the 0 -2 start for the 2001 team was the insertion of Tom Brady. That was the difference maker ...

He's a Patriot legend

He was kind of an arrogant douche bag to be honest... Never liked him.

He's in the Patriots Hall of Fame... one of the most prestigious Halls in the league. He knows he's still a Patriot too.

@@greysonG10 Maybe he sensed you were and so wisely decided not to waste his time trying to win over an idiot.

We don’t talk about those times though they don’t exist shh

No. That's foolish. NFL players are not supposed to ever sabotage other players, or the whole Team. That is not ever the normal, or expected reaction. Players get benched and move around on the depth chart ALL THE TIME. That's just the NFL. The best guys play....happens all the time.

@@FreeSociety1you need to read some NFL History

I like Brady because he reminds me of my fishing/golf buddies or even a pastor. He is humble too, a real role model.

Now he flies in a Learjet

@@chrisspathelf2310 Thanks to his wife!!

@@wilnerolivier7971 or his $375 million fox deal

Tom did help him get a super bowl ring so yeah he is going to like him.

Or maybe it shows how good of a guy Bledsoe is. Stop being a Brady fanboy,

@@Yeomannn there are interviews with Bledsoe talking about the situation, he definitely was pissed at him for taking his job. I'm sure Drew is a nice guy too, but there's a lot more people that talk about how likeable Tom is in the league.

Drew handled it v well

I dont think thry are friends now... to used to like alot of Drew's posts but none now

The_HBK_23 Bledsoe is a class guy. He did the same when he was benched for Romo and helped mentor him as well.

Manning doesn't do that because *YOU* don't know who his backup is? How does that make sense? Its not hard to know a teams backup QB...

Hello, we back.

@Billy Lampshire its so interesting reading all these comments from several years ago. 6 rings later and more appearances...just goes to show how diff things are. That dress comment is funny cuz TODAY its the other way around. Im going "wtf is drew wearing here...." LOL

10 Super Bowls

LOL

+Nick Jasper class acts the two of them Gronk was still crapping in his diaper when this video was made !

YEA HE WAS ... he also saved us from losing that playoff game just before the super bowl .

Drew stepped in against the Steelers in the championship game and helped get the Pats to the Superbowl. So he has a Superbowl ring because of that

Bledsoe's a great guy, its an inspiration in how to handle shitty situations

The greatest of all time!!

+Alejandro Alarcon-Hernandez right

Mattblaze1477 Our o-line couldn't protect last year, but we got 5 this year!

Good call.

6ix baby!!🔥

I agree! You can always learn from how other people handle certain situations.

it was a different situation between Drew going down and Brady going down. When Brady went down with an ACL and out for the year, he was placed on injured reserve, which means he is done for the season with the team. His priorities were to go through surgery and rehab and prepare for the following season. Drew went down for a couple of weeks, and he stay on the team. He was never placed on injured reserve or anything, he was still an active team member so his only job was to be on the sideline.

***** Thank you for clearing that up.

dudeasp1 Out for Season is an entirely different scenario than being out for a couple weeks. Your not on the actual Roster. You are expected to spend as much time I rehab as you can, not mentor players. You mentor, when you are benched for a minor short term injury.

Brady was not returning he wasn’t gonna play every again in 2008

That's not true from what I just learned. I guess Belichick benched Bledsoe do to Performance issues rather than injury issues. I was very surprised to learn this. I always thought it was the injury that got Brady in the game not true it was bledsoe's sub-par performance on the field.

To hangers-on like you, I'm sure he is.

You make your point well. But we cannot say that Bledsoe was EVER underrated. He was paid the highest contract of anyone in the entire NFL at that point in time -- so Bledsoe was treated like Royalty from day one throughout his Patriot career. Yet he as you observed he did NOT perform at that level ("best in the League") .. as we see with low completion rates, and did not play well in playoff games, and did not ever in his career have high passer ratings, never won an MVP or even came close, but he did have high turnover (Interceptions) and missed opportunities with a talented Team around him (several Hall of Fame players)

@Dracula Impaler watching Jan 2021 going for 7 next week! :)

they're all steely dan songs

You got a problem with that?

Man to think this comment is 8 years old

Brady was an "old guy" 8 years ago, does that make him ancient now? It's hard to put my mind around this sometimes, I was born a couple months before his first start so all I've known about the NFL includes some Tom Brady.

@@navonmyhand7999 Only now he's a middle aged man still playing football!!

@@navonmyhand7999 he's a god playing with the Nfl mortals

No.... low completion rates, and did NOT play well in playoff games, and did not ever in his career have high passer ratings, never won an MVP or even came close, but he did have high turnover (Interceptions) and missed opportunities with a talented Team around him (several Hall of Fame players). That ain't Hall of Fame material

I’m 24, only knew him for a couple of years but I can see he was a well above average QB

It's crazy because Tom was really the goat 🐐 he was really being honest

Yep, Belichick is quoted saying that Brady really had the better training camp

I come from the future to tell you he won't in the 2021 season

@@juanmurguia7808 yeah, about that

@@HIMYMTR crazy huh

@@juanmurguia7808 you were saying?

Cesar Raudales... was it guaranteed? I doubt it, probably only got a fraction of the 100 mil

Agreed. He didn’t have the cerebral qualities that Brady has.

Yep, he always looked antsy in the pocket

And Gissell's ass.

CB he was last seen driving an Audi A8 from his downtown Boston condo

He usually drives a duck boat around town

Try a aston Martin

CB is actually doesn't.He drive austin martins

To be fair!! Bradshaw played in a different NFL compared to Brady & Bledsoe where the rules were more favorable to the offense.

nah

@@tombrady2511 yah

Nah Drew is 6'6.

Atheist603 Brady is 6'4 not much of a differance

Daniel Yankun oh yes it is. Ask any female.

Bradshaw is one crazy old bastard

There is another video of an old Brady interview and someone said he looked like Yao Ming. It was ducking hilarious because it’s true. I wish I could find that video on here again.

@@enshk79 Here it is. Ha yes I saw that and its sort of true. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r62ed5Bj37vNlIE.html

he made 1 good throw that game

That's because brady isn't. It's Montana. Bye.

G.O.A.T. TB12 !!!

@First Base The ring he got from sitting on the bench? Lmfao. Guess you need to talk about how great Rohan Davey is with TWO rings, even if he only has 88 career yards 😂

Nah Next up Bledsoe and romo then foles and vick

Keapernick sucks

@Adam Castagnetti ohhh mY gaWd I think you're right 😳
