An honest question

There tends to be so much controversy about the play of Brooks and whether he (a) is already great and needs no changes (b) isn't always great but will become great (c) is constantly having to carry the rest of the offense because WR's won't catch the ball or (d) is the worst player to ever wear the black and gold.

I'm curious about the role Haslett's coaching plays in Brooks' development (or lack thereof). It seems to me that these statements cannot simultaneously be true.
1. Brooks is a great QB who will only get better
2. Haslett is exactly the coach this team needs.

For Brooks lovers--Are these mistakes and errors a coaching problem, a practice problem or something else?

For Brooks bashers--Is Brooks killing Haslett or the other way around?

I just find myself wondering how Brooks would respond to a guy like Jim Fassel who used to be a really good qb coach before he got the top job? I am almost willing to indulge the sneaking suspicion that Haslett is killing whatever potential Brooks ever had.
Any thoughts on the subject?
