Hebert played in 78 games for the Saints, and threw 85 TDs (31 TDs short of the record). Would Hebert have eventually gotten it? Sure he would have, if he'd played for a few more seasons. But 78 games compared to 82 games shows me that both guys had roughly the same amount of time to work with (Bobbie would have had to average roughly 8 TD passes a game in those 4 extra games that Brooks has on him), and in the end, the accomplishments and accolades go to Aaron Brooks. |
