‘In fairness, Bledsoe owes the Bills nothing. He had his struggles on the field, mostly due to immobility, but provided some excitement, some wins – an average of almost eight a season – and a lot of leadership for a team in transition. He was also a gentleman and a class act in the face of some brutal media criticism, much of it unwarranted. If he’s not going to start here, Bledsoe deserves a chance somewhere else.’
