Billy, dropped passes, penalties, missed blocks, etc. happen all the time and they\'re not drive stoppers. That\'s like me saying that Brooks has 300 incompletions this season so obviously he\'s stopped more drives than the rest of the team combined. No, a dropped pass or a penalty is NOT a drive stopper unless it happens at a specific time. A couple of weeks back, Horn dropped a pass and Brooks went back to him the next play. We scored on that drive. Gardner\'s two drops on third down plays stop drives. Is that simple enough for you to understand Billy?

You see, when Brooks fumbles the ball and the other team recovers, the drive is over. A holding penalty on first and ten hurts, but doesn\'t necessarily end it. A holding call on 3rd and 8, or a dropped pass, well, those both pretty much end the drive.

I know you don\'t understand football all that well Billy, but come one. This stuff is easy.

Interestingly, in the poll I put up, you didn\'t even answer that you thought Brooks was the answer. Even you said you thought the Saints should look to find a QB to develop to replace Brooks. Yet, in this thread, he\'s the answer. Sounds like Billy-speak to me.
