SI - Bledsoe blurb from Dr. Z's mailbag

Alexandre of Verdun, Quebec, wonders what people exactly have against Drew Bledsoe. At one time his courage was questioned. He answered that one when he led the Patriots on a famous TD drive with a broken thumb. Then he's been accused of falling apart, under a rush. I don't think so. He just isn't as mobile as he used to be. Final major criticism: his game deteriorates during the course of a season. That's probably more legitimate than the others. I'd have to do a game-by-game breakdown to answer that one accurately and right now it's pretty close to dinner time.
