Drew Bledsoe, steal of draft for QB's (1 Viewer)

[BigRed]

Even if he wasn't my starting QB - and regrettably he is - no way repeat no way he gets 30. I don't trust either him or his OL. Oh with Owens he could put up decent stats and the occasional big game, but I think people really underestimate how near the end of his career he is....

Yes, you read that correctly. Drew Bledsoe, aka Statue Boy, will be a dangerous weapon this year.Terry Glenn, Jason Witten, and yes ... TO (who I can't stand, but is ridiculously good) will guarantee 30 touchdowns. WRITE IT DOWN. I am not a Cowboys fan. I am not smoking anything. Watch the show begin.If you took Hasselbeck or Eli Manning before Bledsoe, YOU MISSED the BOAT.I got him QB12 in a 12 team league. I predict. Manning 34 TD's 4000 ydsC. Palmer 31 TD's 3800 ydsD. Bledsoe 30-32 TD's and 3900 yds.At the very least, he'll make top 5 QB in almost all formats.Let the show begin!

If healthy I agree, with that line and no ability to evade the rush I dont think he will last the year!!! Make sure you have a solid backup.

The only time in his career that he missed time was when he was out of the pocket running out of bounds. Getting hit hard in the pocket is something he can handle.

Got him at 9.05 as my #1 QB...what a steal. Meanwhile Hasselbeck and Brady go 4.05 and 4.06 in my redraft. Ridicolous

I don't like the fact that Bledsoe is the least mobile QB in his division and is playing behind the worst o-line in the division, which has nasty, aggressive defenses all around. Bledsoe's history has been to start hot and then cool down. I like him for the first 5-6 weeks, and then would plan on trading him at that time. Sell high.

One guy to downgrade is Drew Bledsoe. He ranked 6th in standard scoring leagues, based in large part on his ability to play 16 games. But based on FP/AdjG he ranked just 17th, and his schedule was pretty easy too [he ranked 20th after adjusting for SOS]. In reality, he just wasn't a very good fantasy QB last year, but he stayed healthy and didn't have a hard schedule, so he produced good numbers. The addition of Terrell Owens assures that Bledsoe's ADP will remain high, but buyer beware.

How will this NOT be like McNabb's jump when TO came to Philly? I've got Bledsoe in two leagues and am drinking the Kool-Aid.McNabb in 2003: 3216 yards / 16 TDs / 11 Ints / 266.60 FPMcNabb in 2004: 3875 / 31 / 8 /349.75I seriously don't understand why we won't see the same thing with Bledsoe. Someone explain this to me.

McNabb was a quality QB in the midst of his prime in 2004. Drew Bledsoe is an adequate QB (at best) with some huge weaknesses in the swan song years of his career.

Ill join the chorus

The great thing about Bledsoe is that you can get him late enough to couple with another QB like Plummer/Warner and almost guarantee your squad some nice QB ppg. By waiting late your squad should already be stacked at RB/WR.

How would you have liked to draft this QBBC?

Warner was clearly the weakness in that trio. He's not Pac-10 material.

I'd steer clear of Bledsoe, he'll probably get replaced by Romo in the second half of week 7 vs the Giants after he ends the first half with a stupid INT just as they are about to score and take the lead a la a likely interception vs the Eagles in week five in the waning moments of the game where TO will probably not do much and generally be a nuisance on the sidelines.
