In 2000, Delhomme and Tolliver had more time in the system and we traded for Aaron Brooks just 2 weeks before the season opener and he was named the backup to Jeff Blake. Seemed to work out well that year. Sometimes talent overcomes.
2000 was a new system as well, having fired Danny Abramowicz and replacing him with Mike McCarthy. McCarthy coached QBs in Green Bay in 1999 and was already familiar with Aaron Brooks.
