Why not Delhomme?

To answer you\'re question - yes and no. I have no idea who will be the better quarterback in the long run. I started this particular thread to talk about the Saints off-season dealings with Delhomme. I just don\'t know who they think they\'re going to sign to replace him if he goes and I wonder why they aren\'t trying harder to resign him.

As for the entire Brooks/Delhomme argument, I won\'t rehash that. Overall, I think both are quarterbacks of a higher caliber than the New Orleans Saints are used to. I fear that, as you put it, too much time, money, and energy has been invested in Brooks and now the organization is sticking with him b/c reputations are on the line. Maybe not... regardless it\'s a gamble that will either pay off big or blow up huge for Haslett.

My bottom line is this: Delhomme is young, talented, and smart. He has a lot of intangibles that make quarterbacks good, sometimes great, in this league. The type of system the Saints are running is more catered to his specific abilities than Brooks\'. That\'s it. Now, can we please move on from the Brooks/Delhomme talk once and for all?
