\"The majority of people here including myself believe AB is not playing well. Yes his play at QB is dependant on others. But to say as you do, that its totally dependent makes the guy BULLET PROOF when it comes to evaluting how he is playing. \" -- Gatorman

Gator, you\'re indicating that I\'m saying something I\'m not...a recognized \"Whodat\" tactic. Brooks is not immune and I\'m not giving the man a \"free pass\". My point is now what it has always been, and that is that people on this board are after the guy...PERIOD. To say he\'s playing OK but he must shoulder the blame because of the position he\'s playing is a cop out. If you KNOW receivers are dropping balls the ncall \'em out on it rather than bench the QB because he doesn\'t hit in the numbers EVERY time. If you KNOW the line isn\'t blocking worth a damn call \'em out on it rather than bench the QB because he rarely has time to set his feet before he throws. Don\'t blame the QB because it\'s easy...fix the DAMN PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeesh...

As for geting receivers decked, you and I both know who leads the league in that department...seems though that I\'m the only one between the two of us that\'ll mention the \"hallowed\" name, and that name is Brett Farve. He also throws off his back foot and tosses TONS of interceptions too...always has. Got any stats to disprove it? Didn\'t think so. Neither does Whodat or Saints 08.

Bottom line is if Aaron Brooks were to stink up the place for weeks on end then yeah, bench him, but the FACT of the matter is he hasn\'t. He didn\'t show very well last week and that IS a fact, but benching him now is not the solution to the problems this team is having and deep down in your heart you know it. Anyone who watches the games and is willing to be honest with themselves knows it too.
