Not really. By that point, Blake was getting benched every year while Pickens was getting injured and falling off.
94-96 were the prime years for Blake/Pickens/Scott. Dillon missed out.
1997: Blake benched, Boomer started all of Dillon's starts
1998: Neil O'Donnell
1999: Akili Smith drafted and started 4 games. Blake started 11 games with Dillon (3-8 record), but Pickens had lost a step and the defense ranked 31st in points allowed
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
