I agree, I don't know why the disdain for Brooks. I took a look at Brooks' last four years as the starter and behind Culpepper and Manning, he has the best average final FF ranking. Knock on wood, but he has been very healthy and puts up the points.He has been better on average than McNabb, Vick, Favre, Green, Plummer, Brady, Bulger, Hasselbeck and anyone else aside from Peyton and Pepp. I was amazed when I looked it up, but check the FBG final year rankings and you will see. There are only three QBs that have finished in the top 10 rankings in every year they have started in the past four years. Bulger (2 years), Manning and Brooks. Culpepper should have except he finished 15th the year he got hurt. That is consistent fantasy production for a guy you can pick up late every year.always has. he'll still finish 6th-9th. The Saints saying they want to re-commit to the running game is not sufficient enough reason to drop Brooks any further than he's finished the last 4 years. We hear that every pre-season. When they fall behind 14-0 in the first quarter, it always changes in a hurry.You're right, from A FF expectation level he has been a top10 guy although never a top5. But the disappoinment is with his coaches/front office. They want to pound the football this year with what they think is the strength of their backfield. I am saying that Brooks will be a major disappointment this season. Even in the preseason games I watch he still misses the broadside of the barns.I've never owned Brooks, and may never, but he's finished in the top 8 QB's for the past 4 seasons. Not sure what you mean about being disappointed, I'll take that if I can get it late.9. Aaron Brooks: Has been an awful QB really. Maybe a FF decent QB but an awful NFL QB the past 2+ years. Ever since ge moaned about not making enough money, than got the money, than has not produced wins. The Saints are going to be more of a power running team. Everyone banks that they can grab Brooks in the 9th round…gonna be disappointed if this is the best you have every Sunday.
Thoughts and criticisms, fire away.
Also, MOP, I did win my fantasy league last year with Brooks as my QB. I had a solid surrounding cast, but he put up good numbers every week, not Manning great, but never Vick bad.
