Not too long ago in a distant galaxy there was a QB controversy in New Orleans. Between the fans, anyway. ;)

Allow me to paint the picture.... The Saints are 8-4 and Brooks' shoulder gets injured. We need to win in order to get in the playoffs.

Brooks is struggling some. ( Although not a bad as some would suggest. We won't go there for now.) Voices start to rise up amoung Saints' fans. Chants start to go out: Jake Jake Jake !!!!!!

Haslett sticks with Brooks and the hometown hero, Jake Delhomme, is left on the bench. Brooks is blamed for the team missing the playoffs. Haslett is called an idiot. Haslett is called a "coddler". Folks call for Haslett's job.

I like to look into the future and ask: What if?

What if Brooks gets injured or struggles this year? Will the chants go out? I can hear it now. Straight out of a Rocky Balboa movie .... Adrian Adrian Adrian. Except it's not Rocky Bolboa's wife everyone is screaming for. It's Adrian McPhearson!

Would Haslett be a fool not to put in Adrian?
