Brooks and the pitiful Stallworth deal

Despite having #2 at QB throwing to his invisible friends at the feet of and often 3 yards infield from actual receivers, Donte produced very well last year in his first full injury-free season. No Joe being hurt excuses, come on; Joe's slow now. He's Keyshawn without the attitude. So why should a Saints fan not be pretty pissed off that they gave him away?

I don't know what the hell Sean and Mickey were thinking. Donte could very well have been the key ingredient to getting us over the hump and into a believable playoff run THIS VERY SEASON. Our D is not inspiring fear, the O line is still a little makeshift, and Drew will have his rough spots (evidence: for about 30 minutes we were facing a loss, once again, to pathetic Green Bay). Can Reggie and Deuce really carry that much of the load all season long?

I don't care what kind of house-cleaning Payton wanted to do. Sure, Colston has been impressive, but let's not fool ourselves; he's no deep threat. Devery, well, Devery. And with Joe winding down and there being NO TE (unless you think that great completion to Campbell will be the rule rather than the clear aberration it was), well, I'm worried.

Here's my summation: Aaron made Donte look bad. Or at least, not as good as he really is. And as for attitude, we can clearly see what kind of team-first guy he is and wants to be: HE'S THE ANTI-T.O.! We needed that...his presence, the deep threat. We certainly did not need 3rd-stringer special-teamer Simoneau and Philly's late-round pick.

Then again that's just my opinion...I could be right.
