this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Another fact is that the amount of false start penalities and plays called back that we had, would throw any QB out of sorts. The elite Os around the league simply don\'t make half the mistakes that we do. Not ...

Other than Peyton singlehandedly ending the Colts playoff runs, Id say that the Colts would\'ve had the same results with Kitna at QB. They\'re contending for the most talented O ever assembled.
Peyton is the man, while I\'ve seen McNabb called \"overrated\" or \"OK\" in here Please. McNabb would\'ve been off the charts in Indy. Hell, here, also. Just another example of how people selectively give QBs props. Dont get me wrong, McNabb is my favorite QB. My point is, that playoff runs take a TEAM effort, and the elite teams have fewer injuries and mistakes, and great coaching. The Pats & Eagles have great Ds, which get them turnovers and prevent the other team from scoring. Their QBs aren\'t under as much pressure to score, as our O is. We knew we had to score 31 + to win. I think trying too hard had a lot to do with the mistakes weve had. We\'ve done pretty well with injuries,though. Yep, and ABs stats are also equal to Brady\'s production As far as half the penalties and drops, I just pulled that figure out of the sky. Those other teams are mostly vets on O, and can overcome that type of adversity in a relaxed manner. Could it be that AB turns 3 step drops into 6 step drops, because no one is initally open, and the heat is coming? How many times have he and Haz said that players are running the wrong routes? How many times have you heard that from the Pats, Eagles, Colts Chiefs, or Rams? |

So basically you are saying Kitna could throw 48 TDs in Indy if he were the QB, McNabb is overrated or ok(when NFL experts say he is the reason the Eagles have been as good as they are), and the fact that the elite teams in the playoffs had elite QBs is coincidence? Wow. The only years that was true for the Superbowl is Baltimore\'s year and Tampa\'s year. Other then that, Superbowl teams have had elite QBs, that\'s coincidence?
And first it\'s elite offenses don\'t have half, then when it\'s wrong you pulled the figure out the air and they have vets who can oversome it. So Gandy isn\'t a vet, nor AB, nor LeCharles, nor Joe, nor Pathon, nor Donte, nor Bentley, not Riley, nor Folau or Jacox, nor Deuce. No vets? They\'re rookies or something? Looks like we are mostly vets on O too. And so when AB turns a short drop into a long run, it\'s ALWAYS cause receivers ran the wrong routes. I don;t recall Haz Saying that, you have a link? I know AB would say it cause he says he is great on a struggling team, but damn Zulu I see you think that\'s true. But the Kitna could get 48 TDs in Indy\'s offense thing has killed me, so whatever you say next is the final word on this subject. I have no words for that. |

Ummm No. I said that the Colts would get the same results with Kitna at QB meaning they would have the same records, and be bounced out of the playoffs with their suspect D. Peyton could throw for 60 TDs and have no ring. That\'s what I meant by team effort. Would Peyton have 48 TDs in NY or Houston?
My view was that McNabb is just as good, and more mentally hardened than Peyton. I said that I\'m reading McNAbb is called \"OK\" and \"overrrated\" in here, and in most groups. Most of the the teams having rings, while sporting elite QBs, also had RBs, great coaching, and D\'s. You know, a TEAM. Why dosen\'t Marino have a ring? Would\'nt he have just as may as Montana, if he had gone to SF? I think even Boomer would\'ve had rings in SF. Our having vets like the other teams suffering with mistakes at O only means that we have the wrong vets at some positions. Coaching the players we do have, has a lot to do with how they react to adversity, and handle success. The lack of focus this team exibits can be directly traced to coaching. Nowhere did I say that \"EVERYTME\" AB miscuses, it\'s because of wrong routes, etc. I saw both Haz & AB whine about wrong routes on WWL tv. Once, Haz said \"by a player who has been here two years\". I suspect he means Donte. Don\'t believe me? Too bad. I\'m an honest man. I want AB to get his act together, or hit the bricks, just like anyone else. You aren\'t questioning all these quotes about AB not studying film, because they serve your purpose. You\'re bordering on desperation, when you twist practically everything I say. I\'ve grown weary of this topic. |

Yeah well, your lame stance on Jake leading the Panthers to the big dance made me giggle, also. Their D and Davis led the Panthers. Also, some excellent coaching from their staff, and discipline. AB would\'ve been there, had he been traded to CAR. Chew on that.

Yeah LB. I\'m converted. Shucks almighty dat Brooks sho nuff throw a pretty ball to that Gandy fella. I hope they have his bust ready for the hall of fame, cause if not for everyone else on the team holding him back for 4 straight years, he\'d really be something. :nutz:

it seems half the threads on this site develop into Pro- or Anti- Brooks debates.
So I guess I\'ll join in... Just watch an old game... Take that Indi game for instance, where the Saints were bent over and... well, you know... Peyton is on the bench studying film when his defense is on the film... and on the phone with his guys upstairs... Brooks is on the sideline smiling with his helmet dangling in his hand... Doesn\'t inspire much confidence. |
