in retrospect, I think your take is correct. but to put it in perspective, we were coming out of a long run with Steve Walsh, Mike Buck, Billy Joe Tolliver, Billy Joe Hobert, Danny Weurfel, and Jeff Blake playing QB. Jeff Blake was the crown jewel of that group, despite being average. So yeah, Brooks & Delhomme looked REAL good in comparison. In the words of Eddie Murphy, after all that, Brooks & Delhomme were the best saltines we ever had. LOL!
