Drew Bledsoe retired Wednesday, ending a 15-year career in which he appeared in 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 guess it sucks since he never won the big one and pretty much had to watch Brady take the team to victory. but 15 years in the NFL is amazing

He had a good career, and had a lot of time in the spotlight. And he does have the satisfaction of actually getting the Pats to two Super Bowls. And damn does the guy have some stats.

And he was a class act all around too.

Didn't he step in when Brady was hurt and lead them to a victory in an AFC championship game against the favored Steelers?

My recollection is correct, that happened in 2002 during the first championship run:

He may not have been "The Man", but he deserves that ring and had a fine career.
