Hold your breath!
At the very least Whodat you peek around from behind your blinders from time to time, and for that I give you a bit of credit. See, the thing is in every breath, when folks here discuss Deuce\'s vanishing act, you all the \"yeah buts\", like, \"oh, well he didn\'t do well because of the other teams defense\", or, \"well, it\'s the scheme\", or \"see, they\'re not blocking good for Deuce\". Of course I know these things play a part.
When bashing Brooks, folks go so far as to blame him for the teams issues stopping the friggin\' screen pass. That is a very good example (and there are a least a thousand more) of how far the Brooks bashing has gone. You know that\'s true. Why even argue it? More than simply saying Deuce sucks (because he doesn\'t) I\'m saying he hasn\'t played well lately. You can agree or disagree, but while you disagree you point to the reasons his play hasn\'t been up to par -- and those reasons never rest on the shoulder of the man failing to perform...and that\'d be Deuce. If the same standars are applied, then Deuce should simply overcome and perform. This is, afterall, what is expected of Brooks. Why has it taken me so long to see people actually acknowledge poor line performance? Because now it affects Deuce. You guys fought me on ever dropped pass I pointed out...ya\'ll have been doing that for two years now. If you can\'t see the double standard now you never ever will. |

What is with all of you???!!! Deuce gets hurt and all you can do is talk about how this is a blessing in disguise,he\'s fumbling too much, he\'s not the same DEUCE! Have any of you stopped to realize that this IS the NFL and players,ALL players can fumble at any given time. ONe of his \"unacceptable\"TWO fumbles came on a hit where he took a real good shot in an awkward way and he laid the ball down,now i\'m sure you guys would have hung on to the ball... The real problem is no blocking ,no lanes,bad play calling!If your boss told you he expected maximum performance out of you and you knew based on your abilities and past performance that you would not excel,I guess you should keep it to yourself while everyone else blamed you too,huh?

I didn\'t fight you all that hard on dropped passes and acknowledged the problem by year end. I also acknowledge poor line play, although our line is SIGNIFICANTLY better in the passing game than it is trying to control the line on running plays. Do you disagree? Do you think Brooks has less time to set up and throw the ball than the AVERAGE NFL QB? I don\'t know if there are many other teams that give their QBs much more time than our line gives ours. |

Honestly Saintfan, when has 08 ever been wrong? He\'s probably the best evaluator of QB talent on this board. :kerry: |

If you were as good at avoiding the question as you think you are...oh what does it matter. You just like being mad. Sooner or later you\'ll start whining, as per your usual.
You DID make this statement tho :
