Quote:But what if these "NASA scientists" is more like back when the top scientists thought the earth was flat? Cause that's kinda how this Bradshaw take would compare.

 

Bradshaw comes from an era where 50% completions and a 1:1 TD:INT could be the starting QB for a SB dynasty team and be considered a top 10 QB of all time. He looks at Blake and sees a throwback to his era where being an inefficient gunslinger, and a tough one at that, was the ideal prototype. That's obviously not the case now 40 years later. 

 

 

In 1978 the following QBs had completion rates of 51% or better and a positive TD:INT ratio:

 

Archie Manning - 61.8% comp

Dan Fouts - 58.8%

Gary Danielson - 56.7%

Bradshaw  - 56.2%

Roger Staubach - 55.9%

Brian Sipe 55.6%

Craig Morton - 54.7%

Joe Ferguson - 53%

 

Your point about interceptions isn't terribly far off base - there were lots of guys with 1:1 or worse ratios back then -  but your exaggeration about comp percentage is off the mark by quite some distance.
