Bledsoe is only 1 TD behind Eli for NFC lead

[big_neil]

I was surprised to see that Eli Manning leads the NFC with 21 TDs and Bledsoe is only one behind with 20. Drew is also #3 in NFC Yards and #4 in NFC Rating. He has an outside shot at the NFC "triple crown".

Wow, I did not know that. Cool find. Lets see how the basher spin this as a bad thing.

The other thing I bet Eli Manning has more of then Bledsoe is INTs.


If we can improve the OL this off season then Bledsoes numbers will be better yet.


I would like to see us get in shoot outs these last 3 games so that way Bledsoe could have a chance at 30 TD passes.

Remember, last Sunday was Drew's first-ever warm home game in December. Last year at Miami he had 4 TDs when it was icy cold up north in week 13. At Carolina is also relatively warm, as is home for St. Louis.

Carolina relatively warm, this time of year?

The BEST you can hope for is 40's, maybe lower 50's and that is only if you're lucky.

Wish I had tickets for that one, but it has been sold out on Ticketmaster and thru the Panthers site for months.

45-50 is almost ideal temp for football. It's 25 and snowing that's a problem, but I guess it's not like Orlando where I am.

Nice post.....I sure hope Drew goes to the Pro Bowl .....he deserves it!

As far as Bledsoe being fourth in the NFC in QB Rating, that's a bit deceiving. He's actually second. You have to consider that Bulger didn't even throw 300 passes before being out for the season. He won't make the season ending minimum attempts qualifications. Brad Johnson hasn't even thrown 200 pass attempts yet. If he throws one interception, he'll fall five spots down the list.

Bledsoe is playing great, and doing it under pressure. If we could shore up his protection more in the offseason, the sky is the limit next year.

 

[big_neil]

If Drew has 3 more games like last Sunday this year, he'll finish with a 98 rating, 4000 yards, 29 TDs and 11 INTs.

 

[big_neil]

What is the season-ending minimum number of attempts BTW?

 

[joseephuss]

I think it is 320 based on 20 attempts per game, butdon't know for sure.

Man you change directions on Bledsoe more than the weather in NE.

Back on topic...

Good find. Drew is the leader of this team and where Drew goes, this team goes.

Parcells should have more faith in this guy and stop dumbing down the offense and take the training wheels off those two tackles and let Drew Sling it.
