Brooks Works Out For The Skins?!

I'd take Reggie Brooks over Aaron Brooks as a backup QB.

I've always wondered what really happened to him. He had amazing talent! He had a great rookie season for us (over 1k in yards and 4.8 YPC) then he just seemed to disappear.
He was a flat out stud at Notre Dame...he and Jerome Bettis made one of the best backfields in NCAA history.

lets just pray that number 8 never makes it on the field again.His best days are long gone. He was terrible last year. Sorry my mistake he did complete 22 in a row with 16 of them behind the line of scrimmage. Love that arm. Really put alot of fear into the defense.

First of all...Mark sucks!!!! we need to cut and run..as far as possible. Brooks..is young and could sit the pine behind Jason very easily. Forget what Mark did..THEN...what has he done Lately? The best thing he could do is retire...save us some money.

While i don't disagree that Mark is nothing special in terms of a starter, he is still better than Brooks.
Brooks has absolutely sucked the past two years, and he is nothing now. No talent is left.

playoffs 2005, he is old and struggles at times but there is no way in hell i am taking aaron brooks over him. when did that dead beat ever and take a team to the playoffs. the guy is a waerthless leader at least the players have mark brunells back...ask randy moss how good ol aaron brooks is. well, he has led his teams to the number 2 pick and number 1 pick overall. i think we dont want to go down that road pal.

Brooks started 4 years in a row for NO. 16 games. During that time he threw 98td's and 51 ints. That is pretty damn good. Almost a 2 to 1 TD Int rate. The last year in NO nobody played well. I mean, how could anyone play well under those circumstances?? Also who could play well last year in Oak? Could you imagine MB playing in Oak last year? Please. It would have been ugly.

If we would have brought this guy in here in Jan. and coached him up, he would be a better QB than Brunell at this point. No question about it. He is younger and has better skills. He has all the tools to be a very good QB. But at this point it's way too late to bring in anybody.

Yea, he might be able to sit on the pine with ease but learning the play book is another story. MB as a starter no way, MB as a back up is very solid. Now if Janson got injured early on and out for the season that would really hurt but if MB only has to play a couple of quarters or games he should be fine as his body can handle that. We just don't have the luxery right now of bringing in someone new to learn this system and maybe have to play.

I hate to say this..as I have been a skin fan all my life.....I would go find quincy Carter....before i would stand behind Mark as a qb on our team!

[Tha Posse]

Mark "no heart" Brunell, thats just an ignorant statement. He gave all his body could give and then some. He gave us some kick ass Dallas wins in which he didn't give up when we were down by 2 T.D.'s in one of them. Man educate yourself

Well, like I had said before, I'd rather have Culpepper as our #2, and let Collins be the guy that "knows the system". If we cut Brunell what would we save, or lose?

Well, we are putting all our eggs in Jason Campbell's basket, so yes, we need that from him.

You can say a lot of negative things about MB (diminished arm strength, lack of confidence in his dwindling abilities, and many more) but look at the injuries he's played through in just the last two years. His heart should not be question.

He is too expensive to play back-up but cheaper than Duante is going to want (Culpepper still thinks he has a shot at starting again someday soon and throwing for 4K). And Brooks? Please! Give me a has-been over a never will be any day.
