Aaron Brooks vs. Jake Delhomme

... I am not going to go into stats, or which defense was better, etc...

..but I\'ll say this:

Jake wanted to be a Saint all his life.

Jake was a Saint way before Brooks became one. Of course, a lot of the people who ask for full support for AB \"because AB is a Saint\", were the same people who did not show ANY support for Jake back then, even though not only HE was a Saint, but for longer time, and a local boy to boot...

... there was the \"he\'ll never be more than a clipboard holder\" crowd... then he became the Panthers starter.

... the same crowd laughed and envisioned 1-15 seasons for the Panthers... then Jake went all the way to the SB and was seconds away from winning it and being the MVP...

... it just burns some people that Jake, that \"perennial clipboard holder\", has had more success as part of the Panthers than their beloved \"top5 prototype QB\"...

... I do remember trying to have a reasonable conversation about it \"on another board\" just to be laughed at and ridiculed, because those rules of conduct don\'t apply both ways for some people in some places, but I digress...

... so good for Jake... local boy did good...

...who knows, maybe the stars will align right some day, and all the NFC teams will stink, and the Saints will make it with Brooks at QB... then the crowd can go back to gloating...
