Have you ever bothered to actually look at Bledsoe's passing stats compared to his fellow "Jack Elway" based spread offense QBs at WSU, on bowl teams (apples vs apples)? Of course not! Put the rose color glasses down and explain how his numbers demonstrate great QB play. They weren't in the same zip code as the big 3, and were only marginally better than generally considered one of the worst QBs in WSU history.
What am I missing here? His play, stats wise, was downright mediocre.
Rosie 1988 23 TDs, 10 Ints, 66%completion, yards per attempt 9.2, 2791 yards, Pass efficiency rating 162.0
Leaf 1997 33 TDs 10 Ints 56% completion, yards per attempt 9.7, 3637 yards, Pass efficiency rating 161.2
Gesser 2002 28 TDs 13 Ints, 59% completion, yards per attempt 8.4, 3437 yards, Pass efficiency rating 146.4
Gesser 2001 25 TDs 10 Ints, 55% completion, yards per attempt 8.2, 2729 yards, Pass efficiency rating 142.0
Bledsoe 1992 18 TDs 14 Ints, 55% completion, yards per attempt 7.2, 2770 yards, Pass efficiency rating 123.1
Davis 1994 10 TDs 6 Ints, 56% completion, yards per attempt 6.6, 2013 yards, Pass efficiency rating 118.5
By the way "Flatland," Aikmans stats in 1987 and 1988 were Leaf and Gesser like, respectively, not Bledsoe like.
