For those that can remember the Blake years

I liked him a lot but there were holes in his game which centered around touch on his short passes and also the technical aspects of the QB position. Remember when we brought in Boomer those last five game he put on a clinic in QB excellence. But Mikey would not do the obvious thing and sign him for the next season.

Blake was a cool QB but he needed seasoning and a lot of work on his short passing game.

That's not what happened at all.

Mike wanted to sign him.  But Boomer was offered the MNF job and Mike told him go take that job with our blessings.
