I always felt that Blackledge never really got a chance. There were lots of missed opportunities, Steve Fuller over Joe Montana. The coaching was bad, the Hunts had lost interest after winning the SB. I recall going to a lot of games in the 80s where there was absolutely no one in the upper seats. When games were televised, they cameras would stop at the gold club level to prevent showing the empty stadium. The loss of Joe Delaney really did send the team on a negative path. The Royals were always in contention and people only have so much money to spend on sports.
