Is Aaron Brooks Good?
 

Re: Is Aaron Brooks Good?
 

Aaron Brooks is somewhere around the 15th-20th best QB in the league, pretty average.

Re: Is Aaron Brooks Good?
 

My friends and I often argue about this guy, hes a great physical speciman but a bit of a head case. His legs dont carry him as far as he thinks they will. He has a cannon but lacks accuracy, I love the guy for his moxy but he needs to get it together. If you vote yes explain why, talent based or stats based.

Re: Is Aaron Brooks Good?
 

Well, yeah, I agree with first poster. He can be really good, but he turns the ball over too many times.

from Bill Simmons on espn

• My favorite running NFL Package moment is flipping channels and coming across a Saints game right after an Aaron Brooks incomplete pass, followed by the announcer saying, "Slow start for Aaron Brooks" as Brooks stands there with his hands on his hips and a dumb smile on his face. I think this has happened to me 75 times over the last six years.

No.

At football? [censored] no.

He is the worst decision-maker, ball-protector, I've ever seen keep his job. Amazing. Most coaches would have given up on him long ago.

Another way to say this is that Brooks is the 15th-20th best QB in the world.

He's in the NFL. Of course, he's good.

The Saints would be better with Carr. (and most of the others on Jack's list)

lol. no way. People "in the know" like you way overvalue high completion percentage even if it comes at the expense of passing yardage.

Kelly Holcomb has completed 70.5% of his attempts. Aaron Brooks has completed 56.6% of his attempts. Kelly Holcomb gets 6.03 yards per attempt, Aaron Brooks 7.38.

Aaron Brooks was way better than Holcomb last week.

Uh, no. Especially once you take into account how valuable Aaron Brooks has been on the ground this year (NINE first downs and one touchdown)

Add Vick to that list.

Re: Is Aaron Brooks Good?
 

I don't think so. Aaron Brooks has thrown 4 TDs and 8 Ints, who cares about his yards per attempt if the other team averages more yards every time he tosses it. http://www.nfl.com/stats/leaders/NFL/PRAT/2005/regular
