Wow....5 PAC-10 Teams in the Top 10...never would have thought of that...

 

[WesDawg]

Southern Miss / Favre skews those games started stats a little bit, unless I'm overlooking another SMU QB.

Im not surprised the Pac has so many gunslingers up there. Guys like Derek Anderson help that cause.

Drew Bledsoe - Washington State

Still puzzled after all these years on why Seattle picked Rick Mirer over Bledsoe....

Still puzzled after all these years on why Seattle picked Rick Mirer over Bledsoe....

Because Seattle had the #2 pick & Bledsoe went #1. They should of traded the #2 pick to SF, who equally failed in their scouting of Rick Mirer. At least the Bears were dumb enough to trade a first round pick for him a few years later, which allowed the Seahawks to make some deals that resulted in Shawn Springs & Walter Jones.
