Give me a side to argue on and I can come up with fancy statistics to prove the point -- Basically there is only one statistic which really tells you anything -- Wins and Losses -- I must admit I get so frustrated in reading all of the stats flung on this board -- Lets take a few -- AB is the best Saint QB ever because he threw for X yards -- X TDs and Archie never did that. Different era -- different game -- different team -- means nothing to me -- Lets talk defense -- gave up yards and points -- true enough -- but I can spin it a different way by saying the offense never scored on opening drives -- the offense turned the ball over deep in their own territory -- the offense had so many 3 and outs the defense got tired --

Want the other side -- Ab threw for numerous TDs last year -- AB threw for yards -_ AB had a better 4th quarter QB rating then most other QBs. Oh wait -- overall he had one of the worst.

Now lets look at what really matters -- Wins/Losses -- we had 8 of each last year, the year before etc. It is a team sport -- plenty of blame to go around on this team --

Not supporting Brooks -- not bashing him -- lets just stick to the facts that count -- 8-8
