Let me speak up.
Well first of all lets talk about leadership. Leadership first starts from head coaching period. No if ands about it. Second of all you don't have to be "vocal" to be a leader. That just has to depend on your personality. I believe in leading by example period. You can talk all the talk you want but if you can't walk that talk it's garbage. Aaron proved that he is the leader of this team by improving his statitistics. His completion percentage, qb rating, and TD to INT ratio improved from 2002 to 2003. Leaders step up and improve where improvement is needed. Brooks may need to improve on his fumbling and that's about it. But I don't think that he can help it much when you have your number one receiver (Joe Horn) dropping passes sometimes, your tight end (Ernie Conwell) dropping passes and who may not be able to run after the catch any more like he did when he was with the Rams, and your most dangerous weapon (Donte Stallworth) missing more than half of the seaon with injuries. Should we talk about the defense? Naaa we know this defense has been horrible for the last few years. So when the Saints GM and head coach decides to put together a defense that can actually stop teams from moving the ball up and down the field all game maybe you critics will stop pointing to Aaron Brooks' supposedly lack of leadership as to why the Saints fail every year.

I have a few questions... So who's going to be the leader on defense? Who's going to be the number one cornerback now that they let Dale Carter go? Who's going to start at Middle linebacker? Will Sullivan come up with more than just one sack? And please tell me who really believes that the Saints can win a super bowl with Ashely Ambrose starting at cornerback? Will this team improve it's run defense?

If you ask me this team has too many questions marks on the defensive side of the ball to be questioning Aaron Brooks leadership skills.
