LeesburgSkinFan Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 A Saints fan co-worker is telling me that Brooks is terrible. I haven't seen him play all that often, but I thought he was decent the times I saw him. How many of the Saints recent woes are Brooks' fault?

KingTaylor22 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 He's alright. Never turned out to be as good as many thought. Although he is still young. But I doubt he turns into an elite QB. But is good anough to get you to the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drex Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 He is an inconsistent quarterback with alot of natural physical talent. Unfortunately, it's the mental phase of the game that he has often struggled with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWUeagleMD Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 He's incredibly unpredictable. Sometimes he looks like a top 10 QB, other times it doesn't seem like he belongs in the NFL. The Saints are at an interesting position with him. He's done well enough not to be replaced, but seems to have shown he isn't capable of taking them to the next level. I can understand your friend's frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 actually, I could see Patrick with the Saints if this year doesn't shake out for him....and the Saints don't make the playoffs. I think a local guy is attractive to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people just make sh_t up on this site now? He is not the greatest, but much better then some of the other robot like QBs across the league......:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Diggler Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 He's a coach killer. The type of guy who shows you just enough that you are going to give him your entire tenure as a coach (4-5 years) to prove he's a great Qb. The problem with Brooks isn't the physical part of the game. In fact, he's probably just behind Daunte Culpepper in terms of pure QB talent. But unlike Culpepper - he isn't a leader. That's always been his biggest problem. He's not gonna get in a receiver's face or show any fire on the sidelines. And sometimes it seems like his head is just somewhere else entirely. He plays like he's doing it for a paycheck and that's not the kind of guy you want under center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXREDSKINS44 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 No is an awful quarterback. I spend alot of time in New Orleans (work related) and every Monday of the season fans are baffled at how he is still the starting quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after his first game as a Rookie, when he threw for like 300 yards and amazed everyone. People started to hype the guy. I mean his rookie card went from like 2 dollars to 250 dollars. Plus hes Mike Vick's cousin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drex Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Originally posted by Hooper The saints have as much talent as any team in the league and they consistently underachieve -- Haslett is a terrible coach. I agree. The worst thing to happen to that team last season was to engage in a "pseudo" run to the playoffs last season. It provided Haslett with an opportunity to come back this season. I expect the team to struggle and for Haslett to be canned either during or at the end of this upcoming season. The franchise would benefit from this occurrence greatly.

AJ_Skins Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 When he was at UVA, nobody ever thought he was an NFL prospect. He got drafted late, ended up on the field somehow in NO and stuck. I watched many of his games in college, and I'm still surprised he's a starting QB in the NFL. Bad management in the Saints FO, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drex Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I also bet there are alot of Saints fans who wish Jake Delhomme was still their starting qb, and Brooks was the one they let get away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeSkin Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I remember a few seasons ago in an interview with ESPN he dissed McNabb. When compared with him he said something like "Where'd he go? Syracuse? Oh yeah, that's in the Big East...pfffft." I mean, I'm no fan of McNabb as a pro, but Syracuse McNabb is a different story. He was a beast in college and I was a huge fan. I've disliked Brooks ever since then. He seems like an immature, ****y jerkoff. I can't stand him and I don't see him ever being successful.

Unless the team is really winning and going to the playoffs, it seems everyone finds fault with the QB. If Ramsey doesn't step up then it will be all his fault if we don't win. I just hope the rest of them plays to the level we all want Ramsey to play at.. I don't think anyone here wants to see him fail and I see only the up side. Can't wait to see how he does tonight.
