Not a HOF.
Bledsoe was always the guy he reminded me of.
- Nearly identical in stature
- Both 1st overall picks
- Both were hyped early in their careers
- Both had serious flaws that led to them not progressing or reaching what most viewed as their "potential"
- Ultimately, both had very good and lengthy careers, but neither were/are HOF worthy
Bledsoe made it to a Super Bowl though, and helped the Pats reach another Super Bowl in 2001, although admittedly he didn't play well in the playoffs.
Oddly enough, Palmer should pass Bledsoe on the all-time passing list within his first 3 games this year. Both have just over 44,000.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
