After reading the post regarding our most hard-working player; the one who brings GAME every single week - no matter how hurt - I know I am broken now and must admit the obvious.

:dancingmonkey:

It is all everyone else's fault that our Saints have been mediocre these last four and a half years. It was the O-line, the D-line, the secondary, our LBs, our RBs, our Coaching, Fans, City, State, Ownership, and our WRs, but MOST ESPECIALLY THAT BUM JOE HORN!!!!! It's all their fault!!!!! The only move we should make this off-season is to keep AARON BROOKS! He alone can lead us to victory. We MUST fire the rest of the team. Its the fact that Aaron Brooks has to carry all these other scrubs that's holding Aaron Brooks back! If we got rid of all the other players and Aaron Brooks could simply play without all that handicap, WE WOULD NEVER LOSE ANOTHER GAME!!!!!

:dancingmonkey:

Aaron Brooks, WE WORSHIP YOU!! Aaron is the best QB to ever wear shoulder-pads. Aaron Brooks is the greatest thing to ever happen to the Saints, Louisianna, the NFL, and the United States of America. I cannot wait to watch Aaron Brooks play again. I want to have his baby.

:dancingmonkey:

GEAUX BROOKS!!!! ***** (this is the new official Saints fan battle-cry. It is felt that saying "Geaux Saints" takes away from the glory that is Aaron Brooks. Therefore all "True Fans" must now use the official: GEAUX BROOKS. Optionally, you may use Geaux Aaron - so long and make certain those nearby know who you are speaking about.)

This is the best post that I have ever seen. The clarity, insightful and completely unbiased form of posting here is an example of how we should all do it.

Frenzy Fan, you have my undying admiration and loyalty for this post. I, too, have finally seen the light. Lo, doth I bow down to the southeast on my knees and worship at the altar of Aaron. Never again will I criticize an errant throw, never again will I curse when St. Brooks the wonderful drops a ball on the 2 inch line. Most assuredly you can all count on my fervent desire to see Aaron Brooks complete his tenure of greatness here with the New Orleans Saints organization. I will not desire any record over 8-8 nor will I be surprized at the offense\'s inability to score in the first quarter of any ball game.

Praise the Aaron!!! I SAW DE LIGHT!!!!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! GLOOOOOORYYYYYY!!
HALLLLLLLELLUIAH!!

You guys are great.

i would have to admit if in nothing more then jest i am with you also. if we take all of our top talent, sort of in the way the cowboys did with walker, and get rid of them and keep brooks we have the building of a real dominant team. the guy simply inspires!!!!

You know, if you replace this post with comments directed at \"Deuce McAllister\" the only difference would be that it wasn\'t in jest.

true except he doesnt make the dumb comments brooks does. other then that your right. well and the fact that they were both runniing backs

At last I see the light
 

I see someone finally realized that it takes an offense, defense, and special teams to win football games.

Someone finally realizes that we\'re NOT a QB away from being a contender!

It amazes me that some folks just can\'t hear any criticism about anyone other than the QB!

If Joe Horn is last in the NFL in YAC, that\'s not my fault. I suspect no one even knew this FACT. Sorry if that offends some of you. If me suggesting that Horn lacks the ability to break the long one bothers anyone, then show me where I\'m wrong. I\'ve yet to hear ANYONE say otherwise. So, it must be true. I never said Joe wasn\'t a good receiver. I just ain\'t willing to say Joe\'s an elite receiver.

When I tell some of you that our offensive line gave up 41 sacks, I\'m not making this up!! Just giving you the facts!! Does anyone think our offensive line is good?

When I tell you guys our running game ranked 26th in the NFL, I\'m not making this up. Just giving you the facts.

When I tell you our defense ranked LAST (32nd) in the NFL, I\'m not making this up. Just giving you the facts.

Let me spell it out nice and clear:
1. Defense ranked 32nd.
2. Joe Horn YAC is last in the NFL.
3. Offensive line gave up 41 sacks.
4. Running game ranked 26th.

Now, take all of the FACTS and write \'em off. Pay no attention to them. Use them anyway you want. Doesn\'t matter to me. They\'re only FACTS!

No one disputes the facts presented on this board. No one argues that they are not true. However, it is a FACT that certain authors cannot accept any FACT about Aaron Brooks (all praises to Aaron Brooks, GEAUX BROOKS) that cast him in a negative light.

It is a FACT that almost EVERY SINGLE POST certain authors make is designed to point out the flaw everywhere BUT at Aaron Brooks. Certain authors excuse his mistakes and bad play(Oh Brooks-most-high, PLEASE FORGIVE ME), by blaming everything but him. Certain authors make excuses talking about how \"everyone else bashes Brooks\" so they have to defend him.

That is a bunch of crap. Everyone also bashes Victor Riley, why aren\'t those authors rushing to defend him?! Riley has tons of upside. He\'s atheltic, and could be elite with the right motivation and coaching. His biggest problem is weight - not ability. That is a FACT, but you won\'t see those authors even CONSIDERING that. They\'ll yell for Riley\'s head. They will, however, make every excuse under the sun, for our four-year-starter-at-QB citing all his unrealized potential and willing to give him all the time in the world.

There are a lot of things on this team that deserve criticism, and MOST of the membership of this board is pretty reasonable about dishing criticism and credit. I love the energy that some of the more controversial authors bring to this board. I admit immediately that without them, the board would be much less entertaining. That being said, they are the most BIASED, propoganda-slinging, spin-doctors who post here.

See, that\'s where a lot of folks get confused. NO ONE has ever said Brooks hasn\'t hurt this team.

But there are plenty of folks who blame Brooks for EVERYTHING!

Instead of getting upset with folks like myself who refuse to pin everything on Brooks .... Why don\'t you check out what\'s being blamed on Brooks by the MAJORITY of this board.

I\'m going to post this ONE more time:

1. Brooks has been blamed for the poor defense.
2. Brooks has been blamed for the poor offensive line.
3. Brooks has been blamed for our receivers not producing.
4. Brooks has been blamed for us not making the playoffs.
5. Brooks has been blamed for not getting the play in on time and having to call timeouts.


And get this, some of us have to read those same ol\' tired posts in dang near every thread.

And get this too .... I don\'t buy all that crap!!

So, if it seems that there\'s a COUPLE of members here who defend Brooks from all the ridiculous accusations that are made ... Consider yourself lucky that some of us point out that there\'s much bigger problems besides Brooks.

And if you want to get upset about someone pointing out something other than Brooks, then .... I just don\'t know what to tell ya!!

I know Brooks has problems. I just realize there\'s a lot more to our problems than the QB position.

What would you like me to say about Brooks that would satisfy you?

I\'ve said Brooks fumbles cost us.
I\'ve said Brooks isn\'t the most accurate passer.
I\'ve said Brooks has made some stupid throws.
I\'ve said I don\'t think Brooks is a great leader. Or even good leader.


But, I can\'t go where the MAJORITY of this board goes on Aaron Brooks. Sorry, ain\'t gonna happen!!

The dispute here is not that we are a QB away from a championship -- for now AB is not near the top of the list of immediate needs. He is an above averga QB \\. He has the ability to win games on his own as well as lose games on his own. Can we win a superbowl with him -- absolutely -- probably not but --- My opinion -- give him a chance to grow with the rest of the team. If we improve in the other areas we need improvement on and he still is inconsistent etc then dump him -- but don\'t waste the effort of replacing him until we get the other pieces of the puzzle in place. And this is not an undying endorsement of AB -- rather it is a realistic view of where the Saints are today and how do we get to the next level.
