One thing that does bother me about the Aaron Brooks contract thing is that Ricky did everything imaginable to put down the city of New Orleans, it's team and the team's history, Archie Manning, the fans, and his teammates. But through all this, most fans amazingly still did not want him to go. Even when Ricky complained about a new contract (Although he signed his contract knowing that he would be the starting back for the Saints carrying most of the load) most fans agreed and said that he should get a new one. Even when he constantly voiced that he wanted to be traded, fans wanted him to stay. Even when he hinted that he wanted to play baseball the fans wanted him to stay. Was it because of the numbers he put up?

Now most fans want to run Brooks out of town because he wants a new contract. Well, in contrast to Ricky, Brooks has never complained about the fans, city, or his teammates. His numbers put him in the same ranking with his fellow QBs as Ricky's did with his fellow running backs. Brooks has never missed a game due to an injury. Brooks has stated that he wants to remain a Saint.

C'mon folks, we've got a good one on our hands who actually wants to be a Saints for once. Let's not give up on him yet. I'm sure a middle ground will be found during these negotiations and everyone will wind up happy. Give me Brooks over Ricky any day.
