Dallas Cowboy QB Drew Bledsoe has that rare combination of arm strength and touch

Good comments on Bledsoe from Flacowpoke from a sports forum:

Bledsoe has put up a 90 or better in passer rating in 7 out of 9 games. Brady in 5 of 9. Brady is the QB on the reigning SB Champ, Bledsoe on a team that went 6-10. I think Bledsoe is not that far off from Brady. Bledsoe's passer rating is higher, ypa is higher, comp % is higher. What more do people want or expect from Bledsoe? he has stood in the pocket, gotten crushed holding the ball till the last second, and people still want to diss him. Look at Favre and all his screw ups. Mcnabb and all his. Brady has had some doozies too. But Bledsoe is playing at a REALLY high level. His 17 of 24 the other night included misses on a long ball that Glenn should have gotten to, a pass right through Witten's hands. He had the one other pass that could have been picked and missed two wide open guys but was pressured on both of them and couldn't step up to get anything on the ball.
