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

I thought better of you Papz, I truly did.

On my behalf, it's not my fault we've had such a crappy and pathetic history. In relativity to what we accomplished to that point in time(not what the future brought and will bring to account to what ScottF said), he was one of the best quarterbacks we ever had. I'm just being logical.

I'd also like to point out though Joe Horn turned out to be a very good player, he along with Willie Jackson were far from household names. Brooks had a hand of helping them becoming better players.

REP's to you, papz, if I could. Gotta spread it around, it says...again.

Anyway, this was tied to my biggest reason. He did what none of the others could do. He admittedly had Blake's help getting in, but he was the QB on the day they won their FIRST playoff game...and AB put a lot of points on the board that day...if I remember right.

Others did have chances to win a playoff game but came up short is all I'm sayin'...

Brooks had 17 come from behind victories in his career.

This would depend on the criteria for being in our HOF. If the criteria is being one of the top two players statistically at your position qualifies you, then yes. But are our top two statistic LBs, WRs, TEs, CBs, etc all in our HOF (I really don't know).

He certainly has the Saints stats to back it up. But as some pointed out, that is not a great benchmark. Marc Bulger may have more career passing yards than Brooks(again I don't know as I'm on my I phone and don't feel like looking it up). But I doubt anyone would put him on the Rams HOF.

Stats, yes. Legendary impact, heart, and lasting impression/identity with the team and it's fans, no.

Why is there not a "HELL NO!!!!" choice????

CheramieIII · 06-01-2010, 06:29 PM

HELL NO! and I won't tell you how I really feel!

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.
