Let's see a link to that quote, if you don't mind.

in addition to that, they spoke of this at length on the pre-game show on ESPN yesterday...

Having said that, while the final stats look pretty good his game to game numbers certainly aren't the depiction of "consistency" he's complaining the rest of the team lacks.

Right on. The point is that he is guilty himself of what he accuses his teammates as being. For the record, I LIKE Aaron Brooks and believe he does have what it takes to be a great QB.

I'm all for confidence and even maybe a little cockiness, but in the case of Brooks he has the physical gifts but falls short on the mental part. I'm NOT saying he's dumb, rather he doesn't seem to have good football sense some of the time and makes bad decisions on the field. So instead of blaming his teammates he needs to look at himself, maybe learn a little humility and realize he has some things to work on, too.

This reminds of that Kevan Barlow quote a few weeks ago where he blamed his bad season on a bad offensive line and bad play-calling. Too many pots calling the kettle black.

He really just shouldn't have said this, but this seems to be Brooks' bonehead year (reference him throwing a 14 yard pass behind himself to an O-lineman).

I think Brooks is a good QB, nothing special, but worthy of his starting job. Except for this year he's consistently been improving every year he's started, and that demonstrated discipline and a drive to become better which I admire from players. However, he's only going to fuel resentment and tension between his teammates with comments like this.

Brook's footwork is as inconsistent as hell....and it appears now he has firmly inserted one his feet ....if not both .... into his mouth

...also.... Aaron's coverage reads are average at best

perhaps he will eventually mature....but then again....he just may find himself umemployed earlier than expected

Well, he did lead his team to 4 in a row and almost made the playoffs, so I wouldn't be too critical of him. I'd certainly rather have him then a lot of the awful QBs in the league right now. Real life, and especially in fantasy. Brooks had an awesome year in fantasy, and he is still pretty underrated there.

He didnt lead his team anywhere. He completed 58% of his passes and threw 4 INTs to go along with 5 TDs during that four game span. Not bad, but not good either. Difference was, the defense stepped up. Keep in mind that guys has a ton of weapons around him, thats why i think hes so overrated

Couldn't you use that good players around him argument against any other QB in the league?

not alot of QBs have a #1 as good as Horn and an elite back like Deuce around them thats for sure. And the ones that do normally have better success than Brooks has. Im not saying hes not good, im just saying hes overrated enough and shouldnt hasnt done anything to call himself "great" yet.
