Can't believe you guys are slamming Bradshaw over the way he played. Remember when you are looking at those numbers, the game was played a lot differently in those days. Defenders could actually hit receivers then. And there was no in the grasp rule for QB's. They got treated like any other player. Average scores were generally in the teens or low twenties. Roger Staubach, who was probably the best QB of the 70's only had one season in which he completed above 60% of his passes.

It was a different era and Bradshaw compares relatively well with his peers. Not as good as Staubach or Tarkenton but better than some of the other big names of that era such as Stabler or Namath. For that era, his career was well above average. Honestly, any qb in the 70's who had more td's than int's was above average.

and bottomline is he won 4 superbowl rings period!!!!!

Yep, well said.

And don't forget Bradshaw's outstanding acting career.

Way i see it we all crussed the guy. Now we say he was right. wonder if we will say the same about Luck in years to come?? Now Simms said Luck wasnt all the hype wonder if he is right??? Simms Said Mallett Maybe we should listen to former QB who knows what it takes..

Search for delhommeys Bradshaw quote about jamarcus russell in this thread and look for the one in the Phil Simms thread regarding Philip rivers/Brady Quinn.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
