Quote:I never realized that Terry Bradshaw was the 1st pick overall in the draft.

 

Would Jags fans be happy or disappointed if BB had a career with #'s similar to Bradshaw?

 

I don't mean all the SB's b/c of course we would just love that, I mean just similar #'s which basically aren't really great, but it was a less passing league back then and they only played 14 games a season.

 

Like MVP said, he was plenty good enough to win with the steel curtain.

 

If only the Jags could get a teal curtain like the Steelers had back in the day, how much easier would BB's job be.

 

It depends upon which numbers we are talking about?

 

If we are talking Super Bowl wins/appearances, pro Bowls, HOF?  I'd be deliriously happy.

 

If we are talking about things like completion percentage, yards, TDs, etc.-numbers Bradshaw compiled when the league was a run first league vs. today's game-then yes I'd be disappointed.

 

If you are somehow adjusting the numbers to reflect the current environment, it would depend upon the team's success with him.  If he put up "pedestrian" numbers and his performance causes the team to not win, I would not be happy.  If, on the other hand, the team has a run first offense that suppresses his numbers compared to his peers that have more of a wide open approach, and the team wins with him (see Aikman, Troy), I'll be deliriously happy.
