BTW...Haslett was scared to put Jake in when AB's shoulder was torn up because of the "fad" the press was having at the time with QB controversies. Delhomme would have done well, AB would be coming off surgery and Haslett would be in a tough spot. Delhomme would have likely become our starter the next season if we lost some early games, Drew Brees would not have come here and we would still not be World Champions.

I would say your first paragraph is just flat wrong. If Drew were to sprain his ankle and be out for 3 weeks, would Delhomme or Brunnell do a better job of keeping the ship afloat until Drew get's back. That's the only question we should be asking really. That and is Delhomme as good of a place kicking holder. If Drew is out for 4 weeks or more then we probably don't make the playoffs.
