expansion teams in '76 were a far cry from the Jacksonville/
Carolina vintage.

They struggled early and he ran for his life. They were always playing from behind in the early years, which may account for a portion the TD/INT ratio.

they played in the AFC west, which meant playing the Raiders Broncos and Chargers twice each. At that time, probably the toughest division in the league. that a tough draw for an expansion team.

Jack Paterra was the head coach, and they ran the 'sprint draw' to death.

JZ was an atheletic QB, no comparison to anyone here,...but always wondered how he may have done in a WC/49er type offense of that time.
