Look at his resurection projects since then.

Heck, look at the Dallas Cowboys. He had Quincy Carter starting for crying out loud. He didn't trade for Bledsoe until 2005.

Look at the Jets. He brought in Testeverde.

Look at the Phins, he brought in Pennington.

But, yes, four teams, and 15 years ago, Bill Parcells drafted Bledsoe.

I wonder if he had a do over on last years draft if he would stay with the safe pick in Long in the first round and the gamble with Henne in the 2nd round, or if he would rather the fish had Ryan for the next 12-15 seasons instead?

Be interesting to see how that all plays out over the years. My guess is the fish are going to wish Parcells would have went the other way. And that may be his advise to Pioli as well, provided Poili asks him for any.
