Take the Cap Hit Now

Brooks is more than good enough to make a move in the playoffs. In fact Brooks is the only Saints QB who has EVER made a move in the playoffs.

Actually, Brooks can\'t win more than 9 games a season. The only playoff appearance Brooks made in the playoffs might have something to do with the 7 games won by Jeff Blake. The playoff win is courtesy of Az-Hakim and Brian Milne. And while everyone loves to talk about how Brooks beat St. Louis, nobody remembers the 2 int\'s he threw against a suspect Vikings secondary, which later went on to be obliterated in the championship game.

Exactly.

My point is maybe the Chargers will want a pick, maybe they won\'t. I don\'t think it\'s such a stretch to suggest that we could keep pick #18.

Not only would they be crazy to accept this trade, but the Chargers would not be able to pick up both players salaries.

I think the Chargers would love to be 8-8 and kill to get Brooks and Pathon or Brooks and Horn. At 8.2 million under the cap, and not needing to sign a #1 draft pick, they have the room.

To win the Superbowl nowadays, you need a lot of depth, a good overall team, and a lot of luck. You DO NOT need a superstar QB.

You make it sound like there are no big-ticket players on a superbowl winning team. Warren Sapp was a big ticket guy, as was Derrick Brooks, as was Marshall Faulk as was Ty Law. Every superbowl winner has superstar players, it\'s just about where you put them. Nothing says that a superstar QB can\'t win the big game. Since we have already invested most of our talent and money on the offense, why not get a franchise QB to complete the package?
