Jeff Blake should've been the starter

It would have been interesting to have seen Brooks in SPs system. I think a lot of his problems were due to bad coaching.

I honestly think he's a nice and decent person with good qb dkills but not-so-good leadership skills. Plenty of QB's like that in the league. Jay Cutler is the worst.

Brooks was more concerned about padding his stats and looking good than winning football games. That picture of him brought back some awful memories. He's right they were an absolute disgrace.

I remember that. Haslett refused to bench him even though he was hurt.

I had arguments with other Saints fans about that. I'd ask them, "if the quarterback is hurt, and everyone knows he's hurt, but, he's still in the game, is that his fault or the coaches?"

I think Haslett didn't want to start a QB controversy.

Man, I had some really high expectations for Jeff Blake......too bad. However, we got Drew to lead us and that's the upside of this story.:itsgood:
