Yes, got it.
Not the OP's point though, which was that this is the best staff out of the gate.
Everyone siting JJ or Butch's staff has the advantage of 25/35 years of results.
Communication breakdown out the wazoo.
What he is saying is we didn't know the future of JJ's staff then.
Apples to apples would be to wait 35 years for this staff to get a fair comparison to Jimmy's crew.
