Media Agenda???

Like most Saints' fans, I read several articles on the Saints from a variety of sources. And, of course, I hear from Saints fans both in person and on the internet.

Everyone has an opinion on what is wrong with the Saints. Myself included. But some media outlet and fans have agendas.

Take this site for example. Over the years you come to know who has an agenda and who doesn't. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with having an agenda.... However, most of those folks will never admit they have an agenda.

Well, it seems Aaron Brooks has become the focus of most agendas. Both by the media and fans. Some of you who are reading this right now know exactly who and what I'm talking about.

I don't have the time to drag it out of the "Agenda Hounds", nor the desire.

But, let me just say this -- I've watched Brooks this year and I've been disappointed in some of the decisions he's made. It's been an off year for Brooks. Not terribly good or bad. But, he's certainly not responsible of our 5-8 record.

Anyone who knows anything about football at all knows our offensive line is a JOKE. Brooks gets instant pressure on too many occasions and even the best of QB's often make mistakes. That 1-extra second in the pocket can and usually does make all the difference in the world.

Beyond that .... We are ranked 29th in rushing offense. Defenses are just teeing off against the pass, with no regard for the running game.

To make matters worse, our defense is allowing the most rushing yards, passing yards, and more importantly... THE MOST POINTS!!

Brooks has thrown the ball more than any other QB in the league. Of course his INTs are up, whose wouldn't be? He's still having no worse year than Matt Hasselback, Tom Brady, or some other QB's around the league.

Most folks know all of this,... Still, there are those out there who think Brooks is the promblem and to be honest, Brooks has made a few bad decisions and I want them corrected. Nevertheless... I know Brooks isn't the problem. But, to some, he's the problem.

Watch out for sports writers and fans who preach that stuff. They're just pushing their agenda...

.....Not that there's anything wrong with that.
