Please do what happened to Eric moulds Buffalo bills wide receiver! Please!!!
Alot of people don't remember but Drew then went to Dallas and replicated the same situation with Tony Romo lol. He got injured and 2 hall of fame qbs came and took his job
We that Talib story asap
Kind of a cheezy vid, flem....just being honest
I pay for UA-cam red bro I don’t have adds and ain’t sitting threw yours either **tap tap tap tap**
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.
He has been forgotten
He came in and won a big playoff game for us
@@francisparker3557 He hasn't been at all, otherwise that Rosier/Eric Bledsoe feud in the NBA playoffs wouldn't have had a quarter of the coverage that it did
I'm not a Patriots fan but I know Drew Bledsoe was a very good QB he wasn't great but very good he was a 4 time pro bowl he also has a super bowl ring but he got hurt an then the greatest QB of all time came in Drew Bledsoe like I said was a good QB for the Patriots
@@francisparker3557 Not really unless one doesn't follow sports.
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 think a lot of people tend to forget that Bledsoe had already been to the big game before Brady's arrival.
This Packer fan hasn't.
@@eclectica1 I don't expect any Packer fan to forget 🤣
@@actionjackson4982 Lets just say Reggie White until his death had fond memories of the game.
@@eclectica1 Licky on da pee
@@eclectica1 ima Broncos fan
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
Or maybe brady’s chip on his shoulder gets even bigger and he actual wins even more hahahaha
Boo hoo 😢 100 million dollars 💵
Actually had Bledsoe continue to keep up with mediocre performance, Brady likely would have gotten a shot sooner or later even with the contract. It was forgotten that Brady outperformed Bledsoe in the preseason and the guy rose in the depth chart to become the number 2 QB before the season began. If anything Mo Lewis may have sped up the process by at least a year.
Brady was going to take Bledsoes job by 2003/2004
Raiders would have won a ring
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!!! 👌🏼
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.
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.
I mean there is this guy called Mac, but who knows how he'll turn out.
He built Gillette Stadium Tom Brady built 1 Patriot place

No love for Grogan?
@@targettoad691 Bledsoe was better but grogan was nice as a mobile qb
Bledsoe definitely could have reacted much worse than he did when it comes to losing his job in NE
Oh Yeah 😆😆😆
Drew was a champ to the core. He knew Brady was the future, and stepped aside pretty graciously.
*motions to brett farve standing in the corner*
@@johnswiftmusic Good example, another is a guy who I’ve forgotten his name. And when I say I’ve forgotten his name I truly mean it. He was QB for the New Orleans saints in the year Steve Walsh was traded to New Orleans and responded by whining constantly to media and the media LOVED this fill in the ___?____ because I’ve forgotten his name. All he did for weeks was piss and moan about Walsh. This was before social media where people could’ve responded by simply saying if you can’t beat out Steve Walsh you don’t belong in the league.
@@averydaymond1560 did his name happen to be Tommy Kramer
Drew Bledsoe threw a pretty sweet TD pass against the Steelers. He did play a role in the 2001 Team.
I was so happy for him that he was able to contribute in that big AFC Championship win.
That Drew Bledsoe injury literally altered the course of the NFL dramatically. Set off a massive chain reaction of events
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.
Interesting you bring up Theismann. We all know how he got injured by Lawrence Taylor. We all saw the leg. There was no coming back from that one. Fate made it to where Joe had no choice in keeping his backup on the bench. The injury sent him into retirement & into the broadcast booth.
Joe theisman was not a great person or 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.
Oh and Foles was never a 64th of Brady😂.
@@Nunya100 he got a win on him tho
@@LordAyeR true story
Eagles only got the win because Bill Belichick threw a fit and benched Malcolm Buttler.
@@EBRoyJr certainly not the only reason, but hard to argue against the idea that it likely played a part in their loss
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 actually have no idea who Rich Mirer is. Strange, causes i've been a football fan for over 30 years
@@Jason-cf1xn a super talented college qb who busted in the league lol kinda like the Paxton lynch of the 90s
@@Jason-cf1xn Mirer is considered one of the biggest draft busts of all time. That said, the Seahawks were able to trade him to Chicago after a few fruitless years for a first round pick plus other assets. Not sure how they pulled that off. I'm assuming compromising pictures of the Bears GM were involved.
I have AMAZING rookie cards of both of them. Lol
Seahawks fan liked Patriots QB. How ironic does that sound lmao
Thanks for covering this story that needed to be told. Bledsoe is a great QB that should be remembered by his own accomplishments.
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.
I'd take solace in the fact that at least the guy who took my job was literally the best to ever do it. Any NFL QB in Drew's position would've lost their job to Brady.
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.
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
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.
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
You mean there second…
@@chuco915C First victory... and he's referring to Bledsoe playing in the AFC championship after Brady got hurt.
@@bobshenix bet gotchu
At that moment in time he was probably still the more talented QB... but he also believed in his arm a little too much and tended to attempt throws that would be better off lobbed into the stands. Brady always had the intangibles, even before he became more talented.
@@chuco915C first win I meant.
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.
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
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 😂
AMEN.
F.A.C.T.S
He didn't really "get rid" of Brady though. He wanted to go year to year for the same money as Tampa. Tom chose to leave and take the deal in Tampa. Business decisions by both parties.
@@thekingofkingsrp Tom wanted a drew Brees contract 2 years 50 Mill… bill wouldn’t pay and Brady left… it’s Krafts fault too for choosing bill over Brady
Drew will always be the most misunderstood qb right up there with romo
Romo haha he is lame af. He didn't like football as much as golf... Golf. No thanks. Romo was a wannabe favre
I know I am going to get roasted for this...Romo is the best QB the Cowboys have ever had.
@@buckhutton7697 robot Romo? How much metal is in his rib lol dude was frail
@@buckhutton7697 I would say Staubach.
Love your attention to detail and how you always stay profefssional in a interesting manner. Great job!
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
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.
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
There isn't a player,GM, coach or anyone that changed the course of NFL history like Mo Lewis did
Right?
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
This is my favorite channel right now. Great guy with great content. Keep it up man.
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.
A New FlemLo video while I'm at work and on lunch
"CUE THE WAYNE"🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate the content. Stay bless FlemLo
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
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.
FlemLo Raps.. does it again. Thanks a lot man🙌🤘🙌
Killer entire production, thank-you for sharing💥✌️
Dude. You have mastered your craft. "Queue da Wayne!!!"
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.
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.
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!
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 My man keep doing what you do bro much appreciated 💪🏾👊🏾
Good video as always man I like how you put sprinkle life lessons in your videos much respect
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.
Bledsoe was good and had an above average career. Wish the Bears had him…
Flemlo, you are the best story teller on UA-cam💯. You are able to tell the story of these players like no other. Well done, keep up the great work👍.
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
By far one of my favorite videos that you’ve done. 💯
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!
Once again the champion voice for those forgotten or unnoticed! Well Done
Best episode yet. Great work.
The only one Bill resembling a QB between Bledsoe and Josh Allen was Tyrod Taylor. Should've stuck with him a bit more.
Outstanding video my dude glad to see Drew Bledsoe get some love.
Can you do Tommy Maddox next?
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.
i feel like he was a tad overrated to be honest.. i watched him in the 90s just like everyone else and the thing he lacked was pocket awareness.. he was lke a statue out there.. and when he played for my cowboys he was a sitting duck in the pocket.. if it wasnt blocked perfectly he was getting sacked... and then romo came in on that monday night game against the giants, we lost that game but you could tell that romo was going to be the guy from that point on. romo could move around duck and dodge ppl and get outside the pocket.. bledsoe had no elusiveness to his game.. and that wasnt due to his age, he was like that in the 90s as well
@@johncollins9989 sounds like Matt Ryan
I agree with you, Bledsoe did have major decision making problems. He is totally the opposite of Brady in that regard. It seemed he would always throw a pick in the big moment with a few exceptions.
@@DRich17 That's why when Matt was at Boston College, my buddy and I called him Matty Bledsoe.
Bledsoe to Terry Glenn was quite a duo in their primes!!
Almost lost me with the dad analogy but tied it in well. Great versatile intro.
Flemo doesn’t miss. Let’s gooo
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!
Love the job you doing with your channel great story telling
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
Loving the new intro my guy, look at FlemLo so inspirational man 🫡
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
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
Love your content flemlo‼️
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.
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..
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!
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.
that was an amazing analogy, in just 2 mins you made me feel for drew like i've never before
Damnn FlemLo this video was good asf, your one of the best on YT👑💯
Great video..Good take on that situation
How does these videos not have millions of views?! Keep up the phenomenal work FlemLo. Your time is near.
Good stuff man, I really enjoy your content!
The UA-cam algorithm decided to bring me back to you, it had been a while since they recommended your videos.
Man you do some great videos FlemLo. Salute 🫡
Loved the analogy you used at the start. Good stuff flemlo
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
I love your videos man keep up the good work
Flemlo... You are a genius brotha. Thanks for another great video 👍
Great video as always brother. You never disappoint.
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 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.
Actually here early. Love the channel man!!! Best sports content on UA-cam.
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.
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.
FlemLo these videos are why you're one my favorite UA-camrs
Like always you never disappoint my man....
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.
Great Video 🐐
Neber been this early flem. Much love for the phenomenal content
One of the best videos ambiance wise you have ever made
That intro was wild bro! Man cutting the grass is now raising the family! Geesh!
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.
Love the shirt and the content as usual is superb
FlemLo never misses! Great video, ma boy.
We all learn a little more about how to be a better human being from watching your videos!! Keep up the great work 💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥
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.
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
About Time!!!! I been waiting on this one right here form no lie.. everybody just glosses over this story 😂😂
Bill never trusted Drew in clutch situations ..The 10 year contract he had was more about owners than the Pats coaching staff liking drew
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.
Love your content
