Most of the talk concerning the draft and free agency is about which players we need to make the defense better. Everyone knows that we need alot of help on that side of the ball, but I want to hear some thoughts on some players or strategy that could help out our offense.

The last couple of years I felt like I was taking crazy pills watching our offense. I mean my God, when you look at the O on paper it looks like one of the most electric set of skill players ever assembled. The depth chart has speed on top of speed, great balance and superb depth. On paper there appears to be so many threats, so many options, and so many possibilities. You see a dual threat QB, a do-it-all RB, a track team for a WR corps, quality at TE, and a solid, deep OL unit. Seeing the depth chart makes you wonder who will be able to stop this Black and Gold Machine? What defense has enough talent to contain all of these threats?

Then reality rears it's ugly head when the season starts and we get to watch the "Machine" actually play. We get to watch all of those playmakers underachieve week in and week out. We get to see some of the worst play calling in the NFL. Instead of enjoying the games we spend them puzzling over absurd gameplans and blatent misuse of talent. Am I alone in my quest to find the reason behind what is keeping this powerful collection of talent from scoring 50+ a week? They should be lighting up the scoreboard like me when I play my 7 year old cousin in Madden!!!

IMO the number one problem with the O is not the coaching(although it's bad) it's not the O-line (although it's shaky at best) and it's not the receivers (although they see more balls bouncing off their hands than Michael Jackson at a Neverland pajama party). All the blame should fall on the shoulders of Aaron "It's my INT and I'll Smile if I want To" Brooks. He always talks about how good his stats look. Well his stats might look good to somebody who has never watched him play, but for those of us who watch him throw bonehead pass after bonehead pass, his stats don't mean jack. I wish they kept a stat for QBs that kept up with the number of times they threw a pass that defied logic. Brooks would lead the league in the passes thrown for no logical reason catergory. I swear, sometimes he throws balls right to the other team, right to them, like it's on purpose. Then he walks off the field smiling and laughing, saying to himself "I just threw a pick and I cost us the game but I'm still getting paid so who cares". Ever see Brett Favre come off the field laughing after throwing a INT? Hell no.

The QB is supposed to be the leader of the team, both offense and defense. He is supposed to be the captain and a player that everybody respects. That's what's wrong with the Saints. They have guys like him and Joe Horn in leadership roles. Who the hell would respect must less follow those two clowns? Our team will begin to turn around when the FO starts getting more players who carry themselves with class instead of collecting overgrown children who only worry about stats and money!!!
