AB, or not AB, is that the question?

My thoughts were the reverse for some reason , with the recent headaches of other free agents and the abundance of draft picks next year , I would assume Haslett would draft defense and add some cost effective free agents . Corner would be the only exception to the rule I think .

Must we go through this,after every loss?

Not after every loss , just when the Saints get swept or spanked like they were against the Falcons .

AB has some stuff he needs to work on. Should he be benched, definetly not. He is 7-3 as a starter this season, thrown 21 TD\'s , 2373 yrds, and is the 5th highest rated passer in the NFC. Those are numbers that dont sit on the bench. I know hes thrown 10 ints and he throws off of his back foot too much. I know he makes bad decisions and he cant make certain throws. The offensive coordinator knows this too. Set your offense up around what he does. You take Brooks out of the offense at this stage of the season and you lose everything you have done thus far. I am not a big AB fan as I have stated before, but he is winning and to me winning is everything.

The backup is always \"the best QB\" on the team when the starter isn\'t hitting on all cylinders. Remember Forcade? This team would be undefeated if it weren\'t for the defense giving up 25 pts a game...that\'s our weakness. No one would be questioning AB if our D was stepping up to the plate.

Have you been peeking in on the Lions and Steelers chat boards Billy ??

i like AB, i always have, i think without him, we wouldnt be in the position we are today, but the thing i do not like about him, is that he isnt using our TE. we need to get them the ball more, we have to excellant TE in sloan and boo. gettin the ball to these 2 guys will help take the safetys off our recievers and open up some holes.

Not throwing 3 int\'s 2 in the red zone and a fumble in the red zone would help too.

Corners around the league are starting to cut off Brooks hook routes. The interceptions Brooks is giving up are due to the fact he cannot throw a pass other than a bullet . All a corner has to do is time the turn and step up .

That J.J. type smile after the picks are killing me , I keep waiting for the words Dynomite to come out of Brooks mouth .
