Good post Saintsfan. It\'s well known one man doesn\'t make or break a team. I too find it hard to place blame on the loss to the Vikings on one person. But according to my last check no one is perfect. If the truth be known the whole team could have played a little better. We can all blame someone but that doesn\'t make it true, it\'s just our opinion. Contrary to some beliefs there are more than a few knowledgable people posting to this board. We can choose to agree or disagree, it\'s our choice. I just choose to not say anything at all if i don\'t agree with someones post. That to me doesn\'t make them an idiot. I just disagree. GO SAINTS! :)

SaintFan - you are SO right and you are SO wrong!

First, Brooks is not THE problem with the Saints. The defense is the problem. You\'re right. HOWEVER, the \"Brooks bashers\" (and I guess you can include me in that group if you want) are right about some things... and stats have nothing to do with it.

Brooks does not have the instincts that other greats like Favre have. He doesn\'t seem to be making any progress in his maturation as a QB. Most importantly, he makes mistakes - the same mistakes - week in and week out. Mistakes that other QBs don\'t make. Now, I\'m no expert, but I do watch three games at a time every Sunday. With Sunday and Monday night that\'s 8 games a week - 16 QBs. I don\'t see other legitimate QBs in the upper half of the league making the same bone head mistakes every week.

As far as trusting the NFL talent scouts... well, just don\'t put any money on it. Otherwise you\'d be taking Leaf and Smith over guys like Warner and Brady. NFL scouts don\'t know everything either. In fact, their wrong just as often as any arm chair QB. I don\'t understand how you can trust talent scouts. Name one First round draft pick that paid off for the Saints in the last 20 years prior to the Muellers getting here (that excludes Deuce and Stallworth).

Coaches often make a decision and then stick with it regardless of how obvious it is to every one else in the world that they should be doing something else. My major point is this. Aaron Brooks is a decent quarterback. In Saints terms, he\'s good.. maybe one of the top three Saints QBs all time. However, I think the Saints coaching staff overlooks Delhomme b/c they have announced that Brooks is their man. Now they\'ll stay that course even to their demise.

All that said, you\'re right. Brooks deserves far less criticism than the defense, which is keeping the Saints from being the best team in the league.

Im not saying that Warner is a great QB and we should go get him but look what he did with a talented team. Same with Culpepper. Why is it that Brooks is struggling with all the talent on this team? Brooks has played ok all year yes but only 1-300 yards passing game against Clevland! With the WRs we have how is he not putting up better numbers? Brooks played a great game this week and his 107 QB rating is amazing. But on the year its in the 84.7 and thats in the bottom half of the league.

The fact is you cant argue stats or Wins and Losses. Brooks wins and you want all the credit to go to him. Why is it that Super Bowl MVP Trent Dilfer was released? HE wasnt that great a QB even though he barely lost any games. Would you take his W/L over the things some other QBs can do? NO its not about W/L its about making plays that help you win or making plays that cost you to lose. Brady isnt as Talented as Bledsoe, but who is starting in NE? Sometimes it isnt the most talented QB that helps you win its the one that gives your team the best chance to win. The QB that makes more plays and less mistakes. Dilfer didnt lose games he put his team in a position to win games. Brooks might play good and we win, but He has never won a game all by his self. He has lost games all by his self(Cleveland). He has not proven to me that he is the superstar playmaking QB. HE is more talented than Dilfer yes, but not as talented as other QBs on losing teams.

AS for my opinion I have stated I dont know how many tymes that Brooks is the MOST TALENTED QB we have! He is just taking along tyme to learn the system and still makes mistakes. And Once again WHERE DID I BLAME HIM for this loss???

The problem is I dont agree with you guys and worship the ground Brooks walks on so yall all get upset. When he first came on to the field and wowed us I thought we had sumthing special. Then he decided he wanted to be less of a playmaker and more of a QB. Problem is he isnt smart enough to be a drop back passer he has to be a playmaker. He isnt playing to his strengths. He is making himself look bad by trying to force himself to play sumthing he isnt as good at playing.

I dont blame him for everything. He has done alot of good things but he makes alot of mistakes, and since I point out his mistakes I get 10 guys telling me Im stupid when most ppl agree with the things I am saying. Im not calling for his head. All I am saying is he makes mistakes and thats what I see. I say he plays good when he plays good, but if he plays good and makes a mistake I will point it out. Not cause I dont like him, but because it was a mistake. And he needs to work on correcting that.

Quik question for you Brooks lovers:
Would you trade Brooks for Bulger? Bulger is just as young and shows just as much promise. If not more than Brooks. Why do we have to WAIT for Brooks to come around. Im not blaming him Im not saying he isnt good Im critical of some of the things he does that hurts the team. But in 3 years he hasn\'t learned how to play like Bulger has in half a year. Makes you wonder...

Pocket Presence and Awareness...Instructor Culpepper
 

Now, I don\'t agree with everything that Syco said, but he asked a damn good question. I wouldn\'t trade Brooks, but do you think it is worth going out and getting Bulger and letting them compete for the starting job?

Personally I think our money is better spent on defense right now, HOWEVER, I think the Saints should open up the QB race and simply let the best man win in camp next year. Delhomme deserves at least a look! I have this sinking feeling that we\'ll be kicking ourselves in a year or two when Delhomme is putting up great numbers somewhere else. Isn\'t that the story of the Saints?

Pocket Presence and Awareness...Instructor Culpepper
 

Brooks is our QB. Gatorman,you don\'t need a xanax after all. Good apology. Brooks is o.k. I am not a basher by any means,I like the guy. His numbers are better this year,the only year that matters. Brooks can bring us to the playoffs,duh! Brooks is capable of many good things. I would like to see us do great things bottom line. Brooks is tarting because our coaches think he is the man for the job. Delhomme,will make a good QB,unfortunately probably on another team. Brooks would have never played behind Favre. Opinions make the world go round,we aren\'t playing,coaching or scouting. We are voicing opinions, and venting about stupid losses like last week.

I love my Saints and think you guys have some great opinions and some that make no sense at all. We need to unite around who we have and who is playing,onward and upward.

PFW reports .

New Orleans

QB Aaron Brooks has been everything the Saints hoped for when he signed a lucrative contract extension prior to the season, and the Saints’ success this year has been in no small part due to Brooks’ development. But we’re told that doesn’t mean he can’t be replaced. Insiders say that Brooks’ recent shoulder problem — he has a small tear of the tendon that connects his right deltoid muscle to his shoulder — doesn’t have the coaching staff in a panic because they believe backup Jake Delhomme can be just as effective in the offense. Delhomme isn’t nearly as mobile as Brooks, but he has been steady in relief in recent weeks and has the confidence of his teammates that the Saints won’t suffer a huge drop-off at the QB position. Brooks’ injuries could mean a heavier workload for RB Deuce McAllister during the stretch run, but McAllister believes he is healthy enough now to shoulder the load.That’s good news for head coach Jim Haslett, who would just as soon not change his team’s philosophy with the Saints’ playoff status still up in the air.

If Jake could be just as effective as Brooks , would he do it for less ???????

Not nearly as mobile as Brooks ??? Is that going backwards ???

Pocket Presence and Awareness...Instructor Culpepper
 

I can agree with that article for the most part. I would like to see Brooks get better. I dont want JT to be the back up in the playoffs. However, I dont think there is a surgery on the arm that can heal that fast in 2 weeks and be considered 100%. So I guess AB might as well play cause sitting him on the side wont do much good for us this season. If this was a serious career threatening injury I doubt he would be playing.

That being said... Now I can disagree... Delhomme might not be as fast as Brooks, but I think he might be just as mobile. If he isnt he sure knows when to run.

In 38 games Brooks has played he has 177 rushes 770 yards and 5 TD\'s. A 4.4 average.
In 6 games Delhomme has played he has 14 rushes 76 yards and 2 TD\'s. A 5.4 average.

You take away the one game this year where he came in and only tossed a hail mary, and take away that game where he came in and threw the pass to Joe Horn against Tampa. Add in the 2 kneels for -1 a pop and you have 4 games where he has 78 yards and 2 TD\'s. On 12 carries. a 6.5 average...It might not be as impressive as Vick or Culpepper but that looks like a mobile QB to me!

Wondering

doesn’t have the coaching staff in a panic because they believe backup Jake Delhomme can be just as effective in the offense.

If they shaved a few million off the starting quarterbacks salary , that would allow the Saints to sign all the soon to be pricey free agents .Delhomme has not started the last 2 years so he could get much better and is evaluated at almost the same level as Brooks now .

Brooks
Trade Bait !!!!
lol , had to do it .........
