45,000 pass yds, 250 TD's, 2 Super Bowls, does he get in?

No. He has a low passer rating from too many INT's. He has also been replaced too many times in mid-season by lesser known QB's that have had better success. Bledsoe had the opportunity to be a great QB, but for some reason, he could never adjust himself to allow talent around him to step up like Brady and Romo did.

Definetly not. Drew Bledsoe is/was a so-so quarterback on a good team. Any QB could have led the teams he was on and probably would have had better results and statistics. If Bledsoe would have started his career with an average or below average team, he may have started out like David Carr. I am not saying he didn't have success, but if he deserved to be in the Hall of Fame, he would have the numbers to back it up....His numbers are inflated due to those players around him and not because of his abilities.

Hmmm this would be a reliable question... I propose he he's thirteenth in landing passes and has 40 4,000 passing yards and thats up there. He substitute right into a super time passer during his long occupation and he made it to a superbowl on the same time as being the starter. in case you look at quarterbacks with those styles of resumes, maximum are interior the hall of recognition, so i dont see why Bledsoe wouldnt make it.

Yes, he should be there....I saw the pats go from a sorry franchise to a perennial playoff contender all because of Bledsoe. I think his Patriot teams made the playoffs five times (last time with brady at the helm, but Bledsoe did contribute by winning the AFC championship that year). On top of that, he has the stats to back it up....

I say no, i think he will always go down as being average at best. He was never a consistent winner, he threw a lot of interceptions, and he just is noton that level of Hall of Fame players. The only thing he will be remembered for by some is a hit that knocked him into the hospital and helped Tom Brady emerge.

I would say yes. He is in the top 10 in almost all of the major QB stat categories. He went to 4 Pro Bowls. He went to one Super Bowl as a starter and won a ring as a back-up (although he was the starter when that season began). I think his numbers alone are enough to justify his induction into Canton.

You've got to figure if QBs like Sonny Jurgensen, Dan Fouts, and Jim Kelly are in, Bledsoe will get in eventually. He's not a first ballot, but he has more yards than Fouts and Jurgensen, more touchdowns than Kelly(who was also helped by his system and teammates), and less interceptions than Fouts(242 to 206). His only awful number is his QB rating of 77.1, but Jurgensen's rating was 82.3

Bledsoe in his prime was a GOOD quarterback. He wasn't great and he's definitely not a hall of famer. Not even close.

In 10 years, probably. He doesn't get A first ballot like Reggie White.

Yes he should. He's had one of the most underrated careers a QB has ever had. He has Canton type numbers, so he should be in. But I don't think he'll be in on the first ballot.
