Now is the time for the Brooks debate. As BMG stated the case with the Chargers, they needed to light a fire under Brees, so they pulled him and put in Flutie. Now we all know that Flutie is a great back up, but he is not the future. I figure he has done his job of giving the confidence back to the team. Now they will look at playing Brees again for the rest of the season. But this (hopefully) has put a fire in his belly again. If the Saints were to follow suit, and sit Brooks for a game or two, then we would be able to judge how Bouman plays, and hopefully get Brooks back to the days when he had a fire (during the Blake years). The Chargers may be looking at picking up Eli, but I would doubt that (I would say they need a good 2nd WR, LaDamion leads in recieving yards there, not Boston) . Brees is good enough, young enough and has a very good mentor and friend in Flutie. Unfortuantly Brooks doesn\'t have a good veteran to help guide him. Maybe some competition is what he needs instead.
