Brooks needs to go. It's that simple. If you've seen the Saints play in the lsat four years, then you understand this. Our receivers drop a crap load of balls, but AB also throws a lot of bad balls. Leinart should come in and replace him. He's one of the most accurate QBs ever to play in college... I think Matt Leinart = The Anti-Brooks

Ok...FINE!!! I see how it is. You are ALL off my buddy list! LOL. Seriously though you wanna get rid of Brooks? So be it. Personally, I know I am like one of his few defenders but if he needs a fresh start and that Saints need a fresh start then lets do it....but Lienart is not the answer. At least not the right answer.

Brooks has spent his entire career in a single offensive system under two coaches: McCarthy and Sheppard. Both were his QB coach. Finally All of Brooks' starting years were spent under Haslett, who seemed to make it clear that Brooks was his guy no matter what. Well there are new sherriffs and deputies in town. Payton is a QB coach who has made Testeverde, Collins, and Quicy Carter look like geniuses in the last 5 years. What's not to say that some proper coaching and proper motivation cannot get Brooks to play at a Pro Bowl level again. Put in the system and set your expectations. If Brooks meets them, then play him. If not then bench him, or cut him. See how he responds. The issue with Brooks isn't about attitude, talent, mistakes, goofyness, or coaching. It's about money. The guy isn't worth $6 million per. The Saints cannot afford to pay him that money and make the changes necessary to make this team better. At the end of the day, the money is going to determine the committment to Brooks. But I have a strong suspicion that Brooks' ego won't handle it properly. Instead of being humble, restructuring, taking the coaching from the new coaches, and proving he can be the starting QB, he'll trot out his overinflated ego and declare himself the next coming, and expect the Saints to pay the upcoming $6 million. It won't happen. He'll be cut. Any ideas what other teams will be offering free agent QBs this coming period? SFIAH |

That's refected here. He could have the opportunity to be the QB here. But not at $6 million. If he won't renegotiate to something cap friendly, then he has to go. Note that has absolutely nothing to do with talent, fumblitis, throwing behind receivers, or grinning on the sidelines. The Saints can't afford a $8 million cap hit in the QB position. OTOH if he done renegotiate to something like $3.5 million, then give him an equal shot. SFIAH |

... and Payton is not the QB's coach, he is the HC. I really hope he doesn't waste his time trying to "develop" a QB whose been in the league since 1999. ... it just boggles the mind... a strong arm and some mobility a QB do not make... ... so what if he only gets 3 mil? Or 2 mil? How's that going to improve the QB play? |
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Decision on Brooks Coming Soon - Re-Titl
i wouldn't mind kitna but i could handle another year under aroon if he takes a huge pay cut and we are drafting a guy to take over the next season. maybe under payton he could do a little better. i doubt it to be honest though. the guy just lacks something and i am not even sure what it is because it isn't talent. maybe his mind is just umm...
and hey someone on here after deuce got hurt last year said we should trade for ricky. not sure who but um um glad we didn't |
RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Decision on Brooks Coming Soon - Re-Titl
What if Brooks has an unbelieable year next year? Do we keep him, or just wait until he falters a little? I think if we make the O-line awesome, Brooks should stay. I would like to see Brooks begin to be good, because I think he will, if we get Brick in the first. I am not a big fan of Leinhart
