Decision on Brooks Coming Soon

FatiusJeebs · 02-23-2006, 11:39 AM

Wait one second!!! How can you say that Brooks has never stepped up in the pocket and thrown a crisp pass? That just sounds like AB bashing to me. I know you and I saw the SAME Saints games. Brooks ran from the pocket when he had to for the most part. The man used his mobility very well whodi. I don't know how or why you would deny him that.

Um, what I said after that was:

But I am sure he has done it once or twice, it's the fact he doesn't do it CONSISTENTLY that kills the team.

Miss that? But like I said to TR, I am not gonna argue with you about it. If you can't see it for yourself, well, that's on you. I'll just take QB opinions from you with a grain of salt from here forward. No biggie.

Its all good whodi...passion can make people miss a detail or two. My bad.

The fact is that it is time for both the Saints and Brooks to move on. Brooks has had countless opportunities to get this team over the hump since he became the actual starter in 2002, and the team has consistently regressed. Come on, do you really want another year of that? We've seen what Brooks can do. I have nothing personal against the guy, but it is time to move on.

Hey Fat, are you an abused wife? Because your arguments are mirrored at the battered women's shelter every day. "If only he had that new car he wouldn't burn me with his cigarettes...". Babe, AB's going to burn you whether he's got a new car or not. Break the cycle and toss that jerk in the can.

xan · 02-23-2006, 03:32 PM

You know I'm just messing with you, right Fat?

FatiusJeebs · 02-23-2006, 03:43 PM

Xan you are heartless and cruel. I'm calling my counselor right now. Seriously though... I am sorry if I am one of the few people in here that feel that with the availability in the FA market this year that we should just go out and get Leinart becuase we are unhappy that AB doesn't have a serious face when he does something wrong, or that he does terrible because defenses are smart enough to know that when your star RB is down and out (thats twice now) that your defensive scheme will revolve around the passing game because the world knows that 9 times out of 10 when the Saints do not have Deuce they can't run, or that we have had an O-Line that....well....you get the idea (false starts, countless holds, DRIVE KILLERS), or that our recievers just happened to lead the league in dropped passes. Hell...if you can put on any kind of smile on your face when dealing with those conditions....you deserve a medal.

Zach asked a legitamate question. Why shy away from the possibility T-R? You know that if Brooks has a good year next year that this board will get rather quiet. If there is one thing I do remember its that AB threw better passes when he was protected. So we restructure his contract and draft Brick for added o-line beef. Brooks all of a sudden has a QB Rating of like 130.5. LOL...Anything is possible T-R....even getting hit by trucks. ;0)

..and I gave him a legitimate answer... a what if question deserves a what if answer...

... yes sure, anything can happen... birds could fly North for the winter, right? After all, they have wings and a sense of direction.. but I doubt they are going to start flying North for the winter any time soon because I know that birds are flying away from the cold weather... comprende?

TR, and I am not saying this to disrespect anyone, but I think you and I both need to realize if after 6 years of seeing Aaron Brooks play, someone doesn't realize he is not the answer, they prob never will, and we are both wasting our breath. Brooks is just about gone, and we will have been arguing for nothing.

... I hear you, bro...but then again, aren't you going to miss my clever analogies???

Well I don't know about that...
I've watched those same Saints games and Brooks would either throw the ball too soon(not dropping far enough in the pocket)or drop back too far and ROLLRIGHT INTO THE COVERAGE..........he sucks....period.

The only decision on Brooks we need to make is who to give his old locker to.

Matt Leinart or A.J. Hawk?
