Pretty amazing he did even then when he had a pretty decent Terry Hanratty and another guy with a huge arm in Joe Gilliam in the wings. Bradshaw needed more time to get good than Ryan Leaf was ever afforded. I suspect in today's game Bradshaw would have been a 1st round pick, considered a bust with his first team, and either quit or made it big when he signed on somewhere else.

But Bradshaw had trouble reading defenses consistently. Low completion pcts and high interceptions are not what goes in today's game, so I really think he'd be more like Favre was this past season and thus would not be successful. But it's only speculation.
