I'm guessing that since we are taking about a time before the college QB revolution that began with Plummer in 97 and Manning/Leaf in 98. Bledsoe was a QB who went first overall, a rarity for the age, was probably an above average QB for the day. I mean you had guys like Neil O'Donnell leading his team to the superbowl, so how hard could it have been. You had Favre, Marino, Elway, Aikman....and like Jeff Hostetler or something as the leagues top QBs.

ah, to be young again. what about the likes of montana, kelly , and even steve young? it wasnt the talent level, it was what was ask of the qback, and how he fit into a system. now the coaches build the system to fit the player. it wasnt always like that
