Archie Manning threw 48 more Ints then TD's Brooks threw 31 More TD's then Ints Archie also had his share of fumbles dont blame his poor preformance on a bad team he was under center. Brooks only had 1 bad season via Katrina.

There is a STRONG bias against Brooks - fueled in large part by the fact the Jake Delhomme was on the roster at the time. There isn't much in the arguments against Brooks that can't be successfully countered, but there are those that simply hate the guy "because he smiled after a bad play" or whatever.
Brooks is smarter than half the guys bashing him and more athletic than the other half. He held his head up through it all though. He was a good QB here, and it's sad there are so many people that can't (or won't) see that. |
