Didn't work well for San Fran. See how it's going with Kaepernick now?
Plus, there's a big difference between the two teams. The Patriots hadn't been to the playoffs since 1997. It was 2001 and Bledsoe hadn't had above a QB rating of 80.7 since 1998.
Let's not act like Bledsoe was having a MVP like season. The Patriots needed a quarterback. And they found one. Bledsoe wasn't the answer, and they found one in Brady.
Dalton is a franchise quarterback who is in his prime and was having a MVP type season. These two instances are nowhere near close to being the same.
