BTW...Haslett was scared to put Jake in when AB's shoulder was torn up because of the "fad" the press was having at the time with QB controversies. Delhomme would have done well, AB would be coming off surgery and Haslett would be in a tough spot. Delhomme would have likely become our starter the next season if we lost some early games, Drew Brees would not have come here and we would still not be World Champions.

What fad?
What are you and saintsfan talking about?
I am lost.

Fluite and whoever that other Qb that stunk in Buffalo was

Drew Bledsoe and some guy named Tom Brady

Fluite and was it Mr. Brees in San Diego?

Clevland

Giants (Warner and was it Eli?)

Arizona (Leinart and Warner)

Cowboys (Bledsoe and Johnson)

I think Vick, Steve Mcnair and McNabb also had this problem.

Any team that had 2 decent QB's a few years ago where a team was struggling got intense press coverage about which QB should be the starter and it put huge pressure on the coaches and the teams. It's part of the game, but it really flared up then.

So, Haslett stuck with AB and let Jake go to keep it at bay because we were pretty good and had won the 1st playoff game in Saints history.

If we sign Jake and we lose some games, the first person that says we should play Jake over Drew, "because I like him, he took the Panthers to the SB, and he's from here." is getting a noogie.
