No no and no.
His biggest claim to fame is being replaced by Tom Brady. His second biggest claim to fame is being known as an imobile statue in the pocket.
So no way should he get in.

I see this poll on every site and he's not even worthy of HOF discussion. He was a decent QB for a few years, overall he was a subpar QB. He had 4 PB appearances, 2 of which he didn't deserve(one he threw 27 INTs), Curtis Martin and the D carried them to the SB in '96 where Drew killed NE's chances w/ an awful game. It also wasn't a coincidence that NE stunk prior to Brady taking over in '01 then took off once Brady came in and Dallas was playing their way out of the playoffs last year until Romo rescued them(Drew cost Dal a playoff spot in '05). He's not even in the discussion for the HOF.

How is he not? He ranks in the top ten in almost every category amongst lifetime QB's?? I mean I dont think he deserves it ethier, but he's worthy of a consideration atleast.
His overall #s are meaningless, he is top 10 in alot of categories b/c he has thrown the ball so many times. He was a compiler.
bledsoe is 7th all time in passing yards but had 6717 attempts.
Testaverde is 6th(another compiler) but he had 6529 attempts.
Tarkenton is 5th but had 6467 attempts
behind him:
Dan Fouts is 8th and had 5604 attempts
Montana 9th and he had 5391 attempts
Unitas 10th and had 5186 attempts
You get the idea. he was a classic compiler, never great and therefor not worthy of HOF consideration although they have put alot of non-great players in the Hall we don't need anymore.

Bledsoe, 35, retires fifth in NFL history in pass attempts (6,717) and completions (3,839), seventh in passing yards (44,611), and 13th in touchdown passes (251).Out of 100's of QB's that doesn't impress you a little bit? Yes he threw it alot but he completed a good percentage of them. The only stat (not shown) That I frown on is the 215 career int's he had.
It doesn't impress me at all, he has compiled those #s b/c he has attempted more passes than all but 4 QBs in history. He never stepped up in big games, only led 3 teams to the playoffs, he had a dynatsy team in NE and went 5-11 and started 0-2 in '01, he did nothing in Buffalo, he cost Dallas a playoff spot in '05 and would have if they didn't yank him in '06. He was an average QB at best, he amde all his OL's look bad b/c he held onto the ball too long trying to make every play a big play, he was awful in the '96 playoffs and dreadful in the SB, he won 3 playoff games in his 14 year career,... He's not worthy of HOF discussion.
