this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; He had a few good "fantasy years" but I think as an actual player he was limited....

Brooks would have probably been the starting QB by 2002......2003 at the latest. Then you have to wonder, if that had happened......would we have gotten Brees? Because how can you be sure that the Saints would have been fully certain Brooks wasn't the answer by 06, if he didn't start until 02 or 03, as opposed to 00 ? For those of you who like having Brees around, maybe you should be glad Brooks played as long as he did, instead of of tossing around this ridiculous "what if?" about Blake that always seems to come up every time people somehow forget just how dangerous Brooks was as a QB early in his career.

Re: What if's quesiton: Jeff Blake
Yeah this is crazy.
The writing was on the wall for Blade. He wasn't doing that awesome but he did enough and had the back ground to be the starter. Once he got injured and Brooks got his shot... it was done. Brooks lit it up. People can say what they want but they only recall the last couple of years of Brooks. The dude got us to the play offs and got us our first play off win ever to that point. Forget Blake... |

Re: What if's quesiton: Jeff Blake
Jeff Blake was one of the best deep ball throwers of all time. Too bad for him he never refined his short to intermediate routes. His passes to Pickens and Scott in Cincinnati was a thing of beauty.
Brooks will never get enough credit from the masses. He was a 4th round draft pick who beat the odds and put up record breaking numbers for us. I think Saint fans focus too much on the negatives to appreciate what he was able to accomplish here. |

I too liked Blake and he did throw a great deep ball.

If he had it in him he would have caught on with another team.
