In that case, you've got a QB who's leading an offense to damn near 30 a game on average with an injury that didn't prevent him from throwing the ball, or a backup that had been cut from every team he'd ever been on who became a local hero because of his accent and one 5 yard slant pass for a first down.

Yes, I know. It's water under the bridge, but it's a sore spot with me.

I know it is water under the bridge. What I dont' get is all of the always negative

posts against Brooks. YES, he was a so-so qb. Really,the Saints have not had a really good qb and everything else working except for DB

.
Brooks, Brooks, what about Dave Wilson, Richard Todd, John Fourcade?

Kenny Stabler was on his very last years with his best years over. Bobbby Hebert and Archie Manning were okay. YES, they are close to N.O.(Cut Off ,LA and Mississippi), but taking the romance and likability away , they were just okay qb's.
