Haener starts vs Commanders: 1 INT, 5 punts ; Rattler replaced Haener in 2H: led to 19 points

I really struggle with the idea that they were quality starters. Even Smith got so incredibly frustrated with Delhomme as a QB, and Brooks had teammates trying to fight him. If I remember right, someone actually punched him on the airplane on the way back (was it Charles Bentley or Charles Grant or someone else?)

Idk. Neither meets my standard of quality starters, and more so of “really good backup”.

I mean, while I think Steve Smith was a great, great WR, that dude hated everyone.....and TBH that is the Haslett culture you are describing re: Brooks.....he never had a chance, his later teams were an absolute mess......with a good HC and offensive staff I thought Brooks could be very good.....

I think you also need to keep in mind there are very few good-great QB's, I think they were both average starters that had some good moments....
