Drew Bledsoe may have once lost his starting job with the Patriots to Tom Brady, but the former No. 1 overall pick is just glad he never played for the Jets.

In an interview Monday on ESPN Radio, Bledsoe described sympathy for the shabby treatment Mark Sanchez received while playing for the Jets, following the new Eagles quarterback leading his team to victory with 202 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday.

“Going to play quarterback for the Jets … it’s kind of like, you know when they used to take the pretty young virgin up to the edge of the volcano and then just throw them in?” Bledsoe said. “That’s kind of what it is when you play quarterback for the Jets. It just feels bad.

“Mark had to live with that for a long time. And people threw him under the bus like he was the whole reason for the demise of the Jets. … To see him be able to come on to the field in a good system, with good talent and perform well, I’m just really happy for him.”

What the Jets would do for him now.
