Re: Should Aaron Brooks make the Saints Hall of Fame one day?
 

Whether he "smiled" or not has nothing to do with anything.
What do you want your QB to do after a mistake? Lay down and cry himself to sleep? Bear in mind I loved Hebert, and his passion. But I realize people are different, and have differing ways of dealing.

If those stats are considered that off-tha-charts, then I should change my vote to "yes."

He certainly did display a great deal of talent in his early tenure with the Saints, and he seemed to have most of the tools you need, except, perhaps-- and this is just my opinion-- leadership?

From a talent standpoint, and the rare accomplishment of winning a playoff game for us, I'd have to say yes.

I just dont like the guy, because of his indifference to New Orleans itself after the storm. He went out of his way to say that playing here was just a job, and that he wasnt in any way responsible for the emotional leadership of the Gulf Coast. Contrast that with the statements of Drew Brees, who has accepted his importance to our psyche during good times and bad.

So put SkyMike down for an offhanded Yes. :dunce:

It isn't that I disagree with the spirit of your post, but then there is no HOF criteria set in stone. Joe Horn left on a bad note for our hated enemy and he's in the Saints HOF (as I believe he should be), so shouldn't that matter?

There were some bad plays, but the good FAR outnumbered the bad regardless of the fact that people (some, many, but not all) latched on to them in a way to promote their argument for Delhomme, and everyone can say what they want, 50% of the Brooks hate (likely more) was because we had a local guy at #2 that everyone wanted so badly to believe was better.

FACT is Brooks was a talented QB with a sub-standard D, an underachieving O-Line, mediocre WR's, etc. Given a better D and who knows. Had he not been required to run backwards at the immediate snap of the ball more often than not, who knows? In this case, the numbers don't lie. Brooks was not a malcontent. If his numbers warrant it (and I think they do) I don't think he should be kept from the Saints HOF just because he didn't pout and whine after every bad play - I personally like the fact that he laughed it off so many times. It was refreshing when help up against the "Wah wah wah they bumped the WR I always lock on to" crap I saw from Delhomme week after week after week.

Dude? Are you serious? We all know who wrote this. :doh:

Re: Should Aaron Brooks make the Saints Hall of Fame one day?
 

I didn't write it, God as my witness, even though I WOULD have written it or something similar if I hadn't found it first.

Zooey love. It's what's for dinner. ;)

Saintfan is full O' crap about many things, but he is completely right about Zoooey. The girl is an outstanding specimen of womanness. I dont see how any man could not want her.

This is a good discussion, and a most provocative topic.

Change my answer back to "no," because I reserve the right to consider character and intangibles in my judgement. You cant compare his effort to that of a Rickey Jackson.

Feel free to tell me why I am full O' crap, and I will put it in my hat and smoke it.

Yea... he wasn't smart enough to write that. :doh:

I am the bringer of Zooey love to this here forum, and one day I shall be rewarded.
