Hold on there, guys. Westbrook and Gardner are closer than you might think.
We have to remember that Westbrook never had much of a quarterback to work with -- Gardner was slightly more fortunate in that regard.
Michael Westbrook was simply one cog in the wheel of really bad teams that were constantly overhauling under a bad coach. In '99, when things finally started to come together, and there was an equally imposing threat from Albert Connell, Westbrook had a good year. The main problem with him was his injury bug.
