To answer a previously asked question......... What should a good QB do after making a bone-head play? What every good QB does!!!! Look at the game film on the sidelines & study the defense for the next offensive play. Look at Brees, Manning, Brady, Elway, Marino, etc.... It's what they do/did after every mistake. Brooks simply walked off smiling. Physically talented, but dumb as a sack of rocks. Is there any wonder that he hasn't played a lick in years????

Hypothetical question...

Had we not won the Superbowl last year and finished with a .500 record (or somewhere around there), for many, would we really be having this conversation?

Let's skip the "if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle" stuff. It's a hypothetical. I don't think we would and I believe those polls votes would move in the opposite direction... but that's just me. As some have mentioned, you don't have to like the guy and it's definitely not the NFL HOF.

haslett probably will never head coach an nfl team again after his hot headed play calling/ penalty's named after him. then the most famous of all not taking brooks out when his throws spiraled aimlessly out of the way of his recievers. we maybe would have had another playoff win. did brooks ever take another snap after getting the axe from n.o.?

st thomas

^^^ Holy Crap Look at Those!----SLAAAAAAAAAAAP!

nonono, Baby, I'm talking about Aaron Brooks stats.

I say no. Yes he had talent but could not make the right decision. He could have been just like Donovan Mcnaab if he would have tucked the ball and ran more but he didn't want to. For as talented he was he could have and should have ran out of trouble. He was sacked 235 times and only ran 362 times in his career. And as far as the 2000 playoff win, the defense had 5 turnovers in that game including 2 by Sammy Knight 1 of which was inside the 5 yard line if not mistaken. And by the way Delhomme's record against Brooks is 4-2.

They didn't want him to run. They (McCarthy) wanted him to be a pocket passer. He ran backward...often...because he never or rarely had time to set his feet in the 'pocket', and I use that term loosely because he never had much of one.

Yes, there were turn overs in the Rams game, that Brooks et al turned in to points. Now, if you have a offense averaging nearly 30 points a game and you're 8-8, where do YOU think the problem is? Wanna ask Drew Brees that question? Wanna compare the Defense Jake has with Carolina against the Defense Brooks had while he was in N.O.?

As for his record against Delhomme, what does that have to do with anything? That's just another example of the kind of arguments people used to use and get Brooks off the team, and STILL use in a vain attempt to...well...I'm just not sure what the point in that is any more. Jake was (and is) a one-trick pony, evidenced by his record setting interception totals over the last two years - a by-product of throwing air balls over the middle and locking on to one WR for YEARS. Football is a team sport last time I checked.

C'mon Man...

I think fans remember the two really bad seasons Brooks had (one being Katrina) and forget the solid 4 seasons he did have under OC Mike McCarthy.

The Oakland experience was a joke.
