Cam Newton, according to Pro Football Reference


TN05

Recommended Posts

He was put in the Saints Hall of Fame last year. They had a little ceremony for him and John Carney at the Dome during halftime of the Superdome. Carney got a pretty warm welcome. Brooks, not so much. Some cheers. Some boos.

The sad part is, he was a pretty decent QB who took the franchise further than they had ever been. His don't give a fug attitude just rubbed most people the wrong way. He'd throw a pick and go back to the bench laughing.

Brooks was a talentless turd and is directly the reason I became a panthers fan. Fat benson and Haslet blocked jake from starting to keep the smiling interception machine on the field. When Jake left, I left too and have never looked back.

From what I remember in the last game of 2002, which we won and knocked the aints out of the playoffs, fans were chanting to put Jake in. That never happened and the rest is history.

I don't remember that game specifically, but I remember down the stretch EVERYONE wanted Jake in, brooks was injured and stinking up the joint, but they kept him in with Jake on the bench because brooks was the one being "paid" to be the starter. The saints fuged over a talented qb to keep their golden boy in, I was 18 and swore I'd follow whatever team gave Jake a chance, now I'm here, like actually living here 12 years later.

Talentless? No. Brainless? Possibly. Brooks had a ton of potential and could have been as good as he wanted to be. Problem is, he didn't want to be great. He had a horrible work ethic and hardly studied at all. While I hate him for that, he also did things for the franchise no QB had done before. I respect him for that.

Also, Benson had nothing to do with it. Brooks was Hasletts guy. He loved him.

You really witnessed the prime time of Delhomme.
