FlashBack FRI: Aaron Brooks

That one season before he got hurt, he was killing it. Think we were 8-1 or something Saints fans had never seen the likes of before. They left him in there but the man was struggling. Should have benched him. I think today he would have been allowed to heal or put on IR.

I always felt we should have kept Blake another year. End of the day Blake was the one that got us there. Brooks got the playoff win but that win was insane fluked out. Jackson had I think 3 TD's, then the Milne recovery.

Oh, totally with you. That was a massive hurdle we finally got over. I think that is why he got put on a pedestal. If that injury never happens to Blake...I think we keep Blake another year if he gets that playoff W.

I've had that discussion with other Saints fans who complained about him. I asked, "If the QB is hurt, everyone knows he is hurt, and he is still in the game, is that his fault or the Coach?"

I blame Haslet for his performance those games.

It was a horrible situation because we could have won some of those games in 2002 with Delhomme down the stretch. The fans were screaming for Delhomme but they refused.

We had the 3rd ranked offense. One more win and we were in the playoffs. Ended up losing to the worst team in the league at the end, the 2-14 Bengals.
