Brooks and Saints are losers

RDOX, I couldn\'t agree with you more. I have tried to argue that point also that wins are the biggest measure of a successful qb, and not how many tds and yards you can rack up once the game is decided. How many tds and yards you get when the game is still in doubt is what counts. I have heard the argument that we were in the Vikes game cause of Erin Brookovich, then I look at Minny\'s D and what Chad Hutchinson did to them for the Bears of all teams, and I think this kind of game from Brooks is more an abnormality than the norm. He can dominate weak defenses, but if you have a semblance of cohesion on your defensive unit, he won\'t show up until you are safely ahead by 21. I mean we can blame the D, and to an extent it is their fault, but how many 3 and outs can a D recover from to start a game? When you put 0 points on the board in the first quarter, AND go 3 and out taking hardly any time off the clock and giving the other team more possessions, how long is a fragile D gonna stand up? I submit our D could be better than Indy\'s, but we put no pressure on the opposing offenses to hang with us cause ours is inept, so they look worse.

Brooks is definitely damages goods. He needs the chance to warm the pine elsewhere. Trade him for a draft pick and take a run at Brees, Garrard, or Mike McMahon and draft another qb in the later rounds. It\'s time for a new identity.
