What was the story with this guy? He was drafted before I was born. Was he really that bad? His stats don't look great but he had a winning record as a starter and only got 3 years. Wasn't the rest of the team around him shitty? Did they give up on him too quickly?

Was it Carl and Marty who cut him? I wonder why they never gave him a shot? They thought Steve Peuller and 60 year old Debeg had more talent?

Ron Jaworski.

I'll just leave the cutters alone.

He got cut in 1988. That would be Schaff and Frank Ganz.

Noodle armed Penn State system qb. A "nice" guy as far as fans are concerned but not even close to being even an average nfl qb. The fact that he sucked wasn't as bad as the fact so many other qb's were drafted that year and we picked the worst one.

You can't blame Blackledge. There have been terrible QBs drafted early (Brady Quinn, Jason Campbell, Kyle Boller, Joey Harrington, Patrick Ramsey, Ryan Leaf, Tim Couch, Akili Smith, Cade McNown, Jim Druckenmiller, Heath Shuler, David Klinger, Dan McGwire, Todd Marinovich, Andre Ware, Chris Miller, Chuck Long) and other franchises have since drafted multiple QBs early.

but when are chiefs fans going to figure out the franchise has been putting veteran QB's in to fill seats year after year. That is mostly on the Hunt family, who hired swindling playas like CP who trotted out FA after FA for them.

In all seriousness, I've always wondered about him, too.

In those days, it wasn't always possible to see Chiefs games since there were no sports bars or Internet or Sunday Ticket. I lived in Rolla, and between working on Sundays and simply not having coverage over the competing football Cardinals I typically got to see maybe half the Chiefs games each year during much of the Blackledge era.

In the few games where I saw him, I certainly didn't think that he was terrible or anything, just an inexperienced quarterback playing the game. I kept assuming that he was going to take over the starting role and start dominating, and it never happened. Obviously there was something that wasn't happening that I wasn't seeing at the time. I recall that Bill Kenney was actually very productive the year or two around the time Blackledge was drafted, so there was a bit of a question about how long they would ride Kenney and let Blackledge learn. Kenney had his supporters even as a long-term starter, though his star faded relatively quickly.

When the guy got drafted, it was quite an exciting prospect. Smellway was known to be the #1 guy going to the Colts, but there was no controversy at all about Blackledge going second, at least in the mainstream press that I had access to at the time. He was seen as a very strong QB prospect. But for some reason he could never unseat Kenney.

There just wasnt the sports coverage that there is now back then. Plus, half the games were blacked out.

Imagine the scrutiny he would have been under had he played in this era.
