Why we haven't made the playoffs and why we will.
 

With Brooks under center , I would have to agree with this statement .

With someone like Favre under center , it is just a little more elbow room .... ;)

Why we haven't made the playoffs and why we will.
 

Oh man. Brooks holding onto the ball too long has killed me from the very beginning. You\'re right to mention that. But you\'re focusing too much on the negative. The guy can be flat out amazing.

The best throw I ever saw him make was an incomplete pass to Keith Poole. It was in St Louis, 3rd and 11 or so from inside our own twenty. I thought to myself \"Here we go, draw, punt, and so it goes\" But no, Brooks throws a strike, dropping, dropping the ball right into Poole\'s chest on the sidelines at the sticks, and Poole let the ball fall through his arms.

It was a clutch throw in a tough situation delivered with accuracy I\'d never seen from a New Orleans quarterback. He has greatness in him. He is who will bring us a Lombardi trophy. Hate him if you want, but you\'ll love him in the end.

This is the year he gets it right. You can say what he can\'t do all you like. Never underestimate the human will to make the word \"can\'t\" invalid. It\'s what makes humanity great, \"I can\".
