No one is saying that Brooks is the sole problem. What we are saying is that Brooks, while talented, is NOT the man for the job. As a qb in the NFL you have to have MORE than just talent. See Jeff George, Tony Banks, Heath Shuler etc. You have to have some intangibles that makes teammates around you better. Hokie said it best, \"you can\'t LEARN leadership. Your either a leader or you\'re not\". Brooks is not the qb that this team needs. The Saints have a horrible history and needs someone who is fiery and can take the reigns of this team. Brooks is too non-chalant and un-emotional. It\'s time for him to go, if not just for the fans piece of mind. Just a quick idea. The Panthers/Bucs are winning with defense and qb\'s who aren\'t the most talented in the world, just effieceint. Perhaps, Haz should have taken the same road. Too late now, Jake/Blake are gone and we are stuck with a kid who THINKS he\'s a star qb with absolutely no skins on the wall. Good bye Brooksie, the new coaching staff coming in will be able to see his shortcoming in a heartbeat and with his salary, it\'ll be a matter of time.
