Jake proved his worth before Brooks ever signed

Don't forget, Jake was soming in as a backup and playing his ass off since the Ditka days. Remember the crazy comeback against the Cowboys in the Dome when we got two on-sides kicks and Jake just aired it out down the field every time? So remember it wan't just Has that didn't give Jake a chance, though I do agree that there is no excuse for playing a QB with a separated shoulder. Had Jake been substituted for Brooks back then....we still would have Brooks as our starter and I think we all know that. On a final note, I want to be happy for Jake but I am sick to my stomach.....that could be us....we had a Super Bowl QB on our team and here we are watching it. I have never been so mad at the Saints before.

I\'ve been trying to point that out but very few wanna hear it. I was all for Jake becomming the starter for the Saints after he beat Dallas in the Dome a few years ago. Jake must just have something that doesn\'t come out until he hits the field. I\'m not givin Haz a pass necessarilly, but other people missed the boat too. The Conspiracy theories will continue, but clearly that can\'t be the case.

In addition to the fact that we lost a super bowl QB in Jake, we also let a playoff QB in Marc Bulger go too......only to keep a fumbling AB

The Colts need to trade Peyton Manning for Delhomme. CLEARLY Peyton is not a leader. Delhomme would not have CHOKED.
