John DeShazier makes some obvious points about Brooks that I feel should be echoed.

But still, let's not get it twisted. These Saints are best with Brooks at the controls. He's their best playmaker, their most experienced quarterback.

...

But the amazing thing is that such talk took on life at all, given that Brooks has a plus-35 touchdown-to-interception margin for his career (86-51), is the only quarterback in team history with three consecutive seasons of 20 or more touchdown passes and has started 55 straight games, including playoffs,

And yet to this day there is still talk that there is some other QB that's better for the job. It's really quite laughable.

Brooks now has all of his weapons available. Boo is on the field, as is Stallworth (with M. Lewis and/or Henderson to back him up if his hammies balk again). Duece will be in open space, and Horn is still the #1 receiver of this extermely talented bunch. The interior pocket will be stronger with Bentley and Holland starting.

I predict that Brooks will have his aboslute best season yet, and the best season for a QB in the history of the franchise.

Mark my words, he will hit these numbers:

4000 yards

30+ TDs

15 or less total turnovers (INTs + lost fumbles). BTW even with all the lost fumbles last year his TT was only 18.

90+ passer rating
