I personally think we're all being a little too hard on Drew Bledsoe. Yeah, he's to blame for a lot of the recent disasters, but I think that we're scapegoating here. Anyway, Page2 over at ESPN.com runs a weekly feature on Mondays called "Snap Judgment," where a few columnists basically chat about the previous day's NFL action. This little quote came from a segment about McNair and Manning, but it's...appropriate, let's say.
Heh heh...I thought it was clever.
Alan Grant: Ah, but it's true -- on both a philosophical as well as a practical level, that quarterbacks don't play against one another. Let's say, you're Drew Bledsoe and your team is playing the Falcons and Michael Vick. These are two radically different players with radically different styles. For it to be an actual competition, Bledsoe would have to try to match Vick's mercurial skill and Vick would have to ... well, pack on 40 pounds and take sacks.
