On the Bills front, the fans and radio hosts are all over the place concerning whether the Bills should go with Losman over Bledsoe next year. Although not surprised by the differences in opinion, I was surprised to hear from some of the radio guys that Bledsoe had to play because Losman wouldn't be ready to start next season. Sparked by the late-season mentions of the 1973 team, which was also a nine-win team which went down to the last game with playoff hopes, I looked up Joe Ferguson's 1973 stats. As a rookie in 1973, the Arkansas Rifle's line went like this:
Comp Att Pct Yds TD Int
73 164 44.5 939 4 10
Dennis Shaw chipped in with 22/46 for 300 yards and four INTs, and OJ Simpson chipped in with 2003 yards and 12 touchdowns.
By the way, Bob Chandler caught 30 balls and JD Hill caught 29.
Willis is not the Juice, but he, a good defense and an under-control young QB would not be a bad way to go. And I'm tired of watching Bledsoe.
