Interesting Question?

I understand WhoDat. I admit I reached last year when debating Aaron Brooks. I think we all did.

OK, if there was any doubt whether PFK is really Billy or not, the doubt is gone now. Here we have a perfect example of how he got himself into trouble the first time: by taking things personally instead of keeping to the subject. Let\'s all try to express our opinions without getting defensive and arguing like a bunch of girls.

With that said, on to the subject at hand. Wasn\'t it Mark Twain who said there are three kinds of untruths: lies, damn lies, and statistics? You could probably make any claim you want, and find some statistics that back it up. The point is we all agree that AB\'s performance has not generally been as good as we think it should be given his obvious athletic ability. There is no way that any numbers are going to explain why.

For what it\'s worth, I agree with Whowatches that Jude hit the nail on the head with his assessment. It\'s that kind of insight that makes me want to read this board. Thanks, Jude!

You know rich006. You are right. I should not have responded to DblBogey. But, you don\'t see me going behind his posts and making little snide comments about what he is posting. This is the 3rd time he has done that. I wasn\'t even taking to him.

Could you please sing Darling Nikki?

lol.....I could do without the excitement myself. It seems like I can stick to talking nothing but football and there are going to be those that have to throw their little comments in. dblbogey get\'s his little shots in here and there. I\'m just going to have to ignore him. Sorry, but I don\'t know \"darling nikki.\"

Hey Rook, you wanna join the Who-Tang Clan? I want you and Saintfan to be the first to join. Oh, don\'t get me wrong, the Smittys, Paks, JoeSams, BnBs, Lumm0xes, and even a lot of the news guys are all good guys, and they all know their football. The problem is, they aren\'t as clearly insane as you and Saintfan are.

Where\'s the fun in that. How boring was it during your short stint in purgatory? I had no one to debate with... and contrary to popular belief, I am not posting just to see myself type. If there\'s not somebody around to tell me I\'m a dern fool, then I\'m just not enjoying myself. So PFK, you should do me the honor of being the first official member of the Who-Tang Clan, other than myself of course. Whaddya say?

It is interesting to see where a thread takes you and this one is no exception. But the question on the floor is what is different and what needs to be done to revive the old AB to what endeared us to him originally and the coaches to keep him instead of JB. I agree with the consensus regarding that he is an instinct QB more so than a pocket QB. I can only hope that this the strength that AB has that the coaches will allow to develop.

Is that for me? With all due respect DlbBogey, I didn\'t take this thread anywhere, other than addressing what some other members posted in reply to your question. You seem to want to pile on at a time when my membership is in question on this board. I\'ve read a couple of other things that you\'ve posted regarding me and it is pretty clear to me that you have a problem with me. I\'m simply trying to have a debate on a subject and just because everyone doesn\'t follow your orginal question, doesn\'t mean this debate is without merit. Why are you worried about where I take a thread anyway? Have I offended you or anyone else?

PFK what I posted was in no way inteded for you and I am sorry that took it that way. If I was wanting you to do something to jepordize your regained membership I would not have ante-upped my vote of confidence to bring you back, which did have some digs in it I must admit, but there was little doubt as to who I was talking about. But my above quote was not written with you in mind, at all. If I have a dig for you, you will know it because I will call you out by name as I have before. I was merely interested in seeing more debate which more closely followed my question in search of the solution of the Brooks dillema. You know they say a sign of paranoia is visions of granduer, but sorry to say PFK, it was not you that prompted my post. Just remember one thing, if I have a problem with you or your posts I will be man enough to call you out by name. Again I apologize if I offended you, but I will not accept resposibility for your paranoia. I will promise you that from this point forward, so there is no misconception, I will address you personally if I have a problem with you or something you have posted ~ I extend my hand in friendship and fellowship to you to say my post was not directed, in any fashion, as a slam, dig or anyway to you or your posts and to welcome you and your thoughtful insight back to the board. Let\'s get on with discussing our favorite subject the Saints and the playoffs no matter how impossible or improbable that may seem. By the grace of God we can do it you just have to believe.

DblBogey --

Yeah you are right. In your other post there clearly were some \"digs.\" It just seemed to me that you were talking to me. If you say that\'s not the case then I\'ll take your word for it and apolojize. Let\'s just leave it at that and you won\'t have to worry about me at all.

WhoDat -- I can\'t be sippin\' on the tang. I must say though, that the tang seems to be helping you out some. You don\'t bash Brooks nearly as much. The tang has made you much more Brooks friendly. Pretty soon you\'ll be tellin\' us how glad you are that we didn\'t keep Delhomme around...lol
