BrooksMustGo

In deference to the moderator, I thought to myself, "Self, why don't you start a new thread so we can argue about #2 some more."

So I did.

Aaron Brooks is being carried by the talented offensive supporting cast around him. He is Kordell Stewart with more talent at the skill positions.

LOL!! I AGREE!!

Actually, Kordel has taken his team to a championship game. When did Brooks ever do that?!?! LOL

I\'ll respond to this thread with something intelligent when someone posts something intelligent...good thing I have plenty of time to wait.

Hopefully it does not take as much time as waiting for those Brooks leadership skills to surface on the playing field .

Hey \"08\", I think the Carolina board misses you...better hurry back

Someone say QB stats? What can be a better way to judge Aaron Brooks than to look back at the first 3 years of some other great quarterbacks and see how Aaron Brooks measures up. Would everyone agree that is fair? I\'m going to assume you agree.

If we listen to WhoDat and judge Staubach, Elway, and McNabb the same way he is judging Brooks then WhoDat would have said these QB\'s didn\'t fit the system. He can deny it, but it\'s true none -the -less. After all, we are using quarteback effiency ratings. Not yardage, or TD\'s or any of that other stuff. Right WhoDat?

Luckily for Staubach, Elway, and Mcnabb, their coaches knew it took time for a QB to develop. They weren\'t quick to have knee jerk reactions like WhoDat and cut the guys because they weren\'t perfect in their first 3 years.

I can\'t understand WhoDats logic for wanting to get rid of Brooks. Can any of you understand it? If you can, please, I beg you to explain it to me !!


WhoDat -- Can you explain to the good people here why Staubach, Elway, and McNabb aren\'t right for their system? I\'m all ears..............

Billy --

I gave up on the QB rating argument last year. At the time they had their collective head so far up jakes azz there was no reasoning with \'em...still isn\'t, but you\'re welcome to try.

BillyCarpenter1

saintsfan --

I know. WhoDat is quick to throw that QB effiency rating out there, but when it\'s proven that some great QB\'s had worse ratings than Brooks -- He doesn\'t want to hear that. You would think by listening to WhoDat that he has some quarterback training experience. I think that fantasy football has him screwed up.

Comparing him to other QB\'s is unjustified and I have to call you out on this.


Especially McNabb. You can\'t compare them.

But if you say it\'s okay, then we\'ll start.
