Can you imagine him even being considered in Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Dallas?

Have you compared our 40 plus years to those teams? We'd have about 3 players in our HOF if that were the standard.

Oh I get it, and three might actually be generous... my point is that we should stop watering down. We should be a little more particular than "won our first playoff game".
Brees, Nicks, Colston, Graham?---all top notch at their positions.

Look at some guys we have already: Kilmer, Doug Atkins, even Dempsey. They were barely Saints.
I understand your point; I just feel that we can look beyond a guy who had 3 good seasons and choose a higher calibre of player.

Well thats fine, but if you wanna leave Brooks out, you have a ton of players that need to be removed as well.

Just to be clear, a Saints Hall of Fame was an oxymoron for at least 40 years.

I just saw a "value" list on pro-reference and they had Brooks rated as the 15th best in our history. Seriously?

Kinda sad really. Its why I get embarrassed when newbies blast other teams futilty. We were the laughing stock of the NFL for nearly our entire existence.

Although I still don't mind making fun of Atlanta. They sucked as bad as we did, only they looked much more low-class doing it.
