How about "Which QB has the worst career post-season passer rating among all active QBs with at least 50 career post-season passes"?

Your cruel Stan.

I'm sorry.: :


I just thought that that would be a much better indicator of a QB's "clutchness" than an arbitrary statistic like fourth quarter comebacks (any statistic that makes Jake Plummer look great isn't very reliable).

 

[Hater]

Table 1. Top 10 quarterbacks at comebacks since 1996
Rank Quarterback Wins Losses
1 Jake Plummer 19 28
2 Peyton Manning 19 29
2 Vinny Testaverde 19 29
4 Tom Brady 13 8
5 Jon Kitna 15 23
6 Kerry Collins 17 30
7 Donovan McNabb 12 15
8 Marc Bulger 10 5
9 Jake Delhomme 10 12
9 Jay Fiedler 10 12

Just remember, your team has to BE BEHIND in order to COME FROM BEHIND. Which is one reason why it is an overrated stat.

No it's not...shows what a true wartime QB is made of.

Bledsoe has been involved in many come from behinds because the teams he played on were lousy and put him in an ineviable position to throw the ball almost every down.

I think it depends on how good your defense is. If its good and you rarely trail or when you do trail its only by 3 points then I would say its an overrated stat. But if you defense sucks and you seem to be losing by 7+ points all the time than it can be impressive.

I think its always good to have one of the best in come from behind. Bledsoe probably does throw a lot more INT's in 'comeback play'. Reminds me of players in the NBA who shoot shot-buzzards. Never seen one better than MJ.

No clue how many INTs he has but I do know that 16 or 17 of his 33 Comebacks have come by way of a TD pass.

Drew Bledsoe is a statue with a great arm and questionable accuracy and judgment. I'm sorry, that might sound harsh, but it is spot on, and I hope we have enough talent this year to overcome it.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I looked over a few rosters that Drew played on while in NE and they didn't look that poor to me. Perhaps it's just me. That happens but I don't know that I would agree with the perception that Bledsoe played on lots of sorry teams.

You are not wrong, you are right. I think it is a pretty widely held opinion that Bledsoe is a good but limited player and not a guy on the level of an Aikman, or Brady or guys like that. That doesn't mean he's a bad QB, he's not, but I don't and can't agree with those who want to make him out as a great "wartime" QB. That is just wishful thinking. When I think of Bledsoe, I think of someone alot like Warren Moon, but a step below that. (Only because of Moon's mobility) A guy who can sling the ball around and from time to time make you go "wow, that was a GREAT throw", but not a guy who had the stuff to be a multiple Super Bowl winner, and to date, not a Super Bowl winner at all.

 

[StarAmongStars]

Shouldn't bledsoe be on that list? Dude has been involved with big time comebacks left and right for years now

 

[jterrell]

Bledsoe has won 4 playoff games. 4 more than most current NFL starters.

He is 4-3 and has been poor to bad in the post-season thus far.
He likely needs at least 1 good post season run to get inthe Hall of Fame but thats really all his resume lacks.

3 actually. The 2001 AFC Championship game Tom Brady started and is the QB of record.

 

[BlueWave]

I think Bledsoe had like five come from behind wins last season (Philadelphia, CArolina, Kansas City, SanDiego, can't remember 5, but he threw it to Witten after a fake handoff.) Maybe six, didn't he bring us back against Denver, only to end up losing?

He failed one time, against Seattle. You know, the highlight you see the most in reference to Bledsoe. Doesn't seem fair.
