That blink is what you say today, years after the fact.
At the time, I bet it didn’t feel like a blink.
Also, consider that Romo was an UDFA and the drafting hubris is even worse.
You're talking about feel, I'm talking about reality.
Since Staubach took over in 71(?), we've had a franchise QB in place pretty continuously with the exception of about 5 years in the late 80s and about 5 years in the early 2000s.
That's a pretty remarkable run.
Yes we've gotten lucky at times, but nevertheless it's afforded us the luxury of not having to take a QB in the 1st round very often.
The whole point of this is that the Saints have not had that same luck over the decades and still haven't taken a 1st round QB, which is astonishing to me.
