this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Brooks sucks, and it has nothing to do with race, or talent. Brooks can throw a ball a long way, but he is not a leader. A team needs a leader, and Brooks is not that. Delhomme is less talented ...

Why Brooks has to go...
Brooks sucks, and it has nothing to do with race, or talent. Brooks can throw a ball a long way, but he is not a leader. A team needs a leader, and Brooks is not that.
Delhomme is less talented than Brooks, but if football has taught us anything, it's that heart can multiply talent. It still bothers me that we chose Brooks over Jake. Yes, the talented offensive line wasn't that great. Yes, our very talented recievers dropped some balls. Yes, very talented McAllister had a sub par performance. They were all uninspired. Everyone that should have been supporting Brooks didn't. Why? Brooks supporters are quick to point out that it's not Brook's job to block or catch, or run routes. It's not even his job to inspire those to do so. They get paid to do that, and they are professionals. But a winning quarterback WILL inspire his team and provide passion and will and guts if he wants to be on a championship team. Brooks was shown on the sidelines all throughout the game, with a smile on his face, hands crossed, looking like he didn't have a care in the world. After the game, he was walking around smiling, and joking with Seattle players. An appropriate quote from Vince Lombardi: "Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser". |

Why Brooks has to go...
To summarize,
This team needs a new attitude and many think that can be achieved by replacing the one man on this roster who epitomizes the expression laid-back. I saw a QB fight last night. He never gave up and you could see it rub off on his teammates. If he was going down he was going down swingin cussin and spittin... I think JT takes over next year if this heartless attitude continues to permeate this gutless team. |

Why Brooks has to go...
Thanks.
Now we get to the real interesting part...
And of course Jake, or JT, (what about Bowman? ) can somehow inspire people TO DO THEIR JOBS where Brooks can\'t. Please please please give me a break! I just cannot believe that someone will come on this forum this week and blame the one of the few guys who was in fact ready to play. The guy who took almost no preseason snaps. It\'s unbelievable.
So there\'s no further point of discussion. I\'ve made up my mind to just agree to disagree and I won\'t respond to this crap anymore except to say the above: \"Brooks\' personality is unsuitable with being an NFL QB in many fans minds.\" I\'m done. SFIAH |

I share your exasperatiion that Brooks supporters just REFUSE to change their minds about the guy. There\'s just nothing you can say to change their minds.
OK, so some don\'t get it. (see above) Although why the concept of a quarterback inspiring the players around him to excel is alien to ANY footballl fan, is dumbfounding to me. Well, call me Kooky, but I think I can feel comfortable putting it on the Quarterback. I don\'t give a flying doodoo wether it\'s Brooks or not. I have NOTHING against Brooks personally. I\'m sure he\'s a great guy, but \"laid back\" doesn\'t\" get you to the top in a competetive sport. Be laid back off the field, not during a game. My problem with Brooks is his attitude. Brooks supporters seem to want to make it a personal issue, or a talent issue or even worse, a RACE issue. Brooks supporters have no evidence that Brooks has the spirit necessary to lead this team to victory except a fading ememory of an oppenent dropping a ball to give us our first playoff win, and passing numbers that are high, because Brooks throws alot when we\'re behind. I have acouple years of examples to show that he doesn\'t. [Edited on 14/9/2004 by Kristomac] [Edited on 14/9/2004 by Kristomac] [Edited on 14/9/2004 by Kristomac] |

lets see the who teams attitude sticks so pick one guy and blame it on him... why don\'t people blame it on everyone. I think its the Coaches who wanted to clear the attitudes on the team and look where it got us. They cleaned house of what could have been some players with the attitude to fight and go down swinging. The resluts last night was Jake losing even though he was a leader? Well they are going to have to get rid of him because he didn\'t get the job done right? Not an effective leader right?

You actually are comparing Brooks who has been the same for three years, to Delhomme who went to the Superbowl last year? Delhomme has shown he could do it. Blind faith with contrary evidence keeps you in Brooks\'s corner.

Why oh why do I torture myself? I must like the pain.
Yeah, about the same.
So I have to trot out my tired quote: \"Brooks\' personality is unsuitable for an NFL QB in many fans\' minds.\" SFIAH |

you are missing the point the debate here is getting rid of a leader or a good QB... I merely stated since Jake lost last night they need to get rid of him because he wasn\'t an effect leader, I didn\'t compare the 2 at all...
