Andrew (New Orleans, LA): Gary, Does it strike you as odd that the Saints would draft Adrian McPherson because they think "he's another Aaron Brooks" ! Isn't one maddeningly inconsistent quarterback enough?

Gary Horton: A lot of people were really intrigued by McPherson during the draft. I think that most teams -- including the Saints -- put a value on him where when they selected him, it would actually be a steal. That's what happened. I don't know if you can tag him yet for being inconsistent -- although he has had some personal problems. I think it was more than inditement with the organization's unrest with Brooks for a guy that can take them to a championship title. I'll say this, to me, Aaron Brooks is one of the most puzzling players in the NFL. I look at his stats and I watch him on film and I see potential greatness. BUT, then I see ridiculous mistakes, slopiness and a general lack of concentration and I'm just not sure that he will ever be consistent enough to win on a big time basis.
