Take 1978 for example, a year that Bradshaw led the league in touchdown passes. If you look at the top 10 passing offenses of 1978, only 3 teams threw more touchdowns than interceptions. Only 7 of 28 teams overall threw more touchdowns than interceptions. So Bradshaw's 212-210 TD:INT ratio isn't as bad as it looks today when you take into account the era.
Bradshaw was the only one taking post-season snaps during his run though. Fun fact, one of my school yard chums is the nephew of one of Bradshaw's backups. Anyways, back to ZT. I think he can get better, but I'd hardly lose sleep if we fired him after one year.
