Yet, it appears that you fail to realize that Aaron Brooks has not had 3 full years as a starter. His first start was after the halfway point of the 2000 season, which, by the way, also coincided with the Saints first ever playoff win. Brooks battled for the starting position, and won, in 2001. Last year, he started off great, even hopefully by your standards, but was injured in the second Bucs game (which the Saints won).

Yea, true, but it's not just Brooks, it's the entire team. See the games Detmer and Feeley won, oh yea, with a severly sub-par receiving core.

So, I agree with you that it takes at least 3 years to fully begin to grasp an offense, but I hope you can see why there's a sense of optimism this year.

I see why you're optimistic, any fan (except in Arizona) normally is. I just highly doubt the Saints will do good this year because of their schedule and the other factors that they are going to have to deal with.

Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
