That is one thing I remember about Brooksy he would start strong and then just seem to fall apart. Maybe it is his mental aptitude or lack there of, he is related to Marcus Vick after all.
He'll find work somewhere, probably his starting days are over unless someone in front of him gets injured.

its not as if that team hasn't had offensive talent anyway. he has had a back to take the load off in deuce, a game breaking receiver in joe horn, and a nice TE dump off in Boo Williams. The team has been bad the past few years, but when you have a decent amount of talent, when do you look to the qb?
He will probably get one more shot to start, with some team thinking "its NO" --then he will be medicore and fall into a backup role. He isn't bad, he isn't good. He is the epitome of the mediocre starting nfl qb. although I think he would be one of the best backups.
The opening scene of the movie "Saving Private Ryan" is loosely based on games of dodgeball Brian Dawkins played in second grade.
Even last year he almost had 3000 yards, despite only playing 13 games, and having a terrible season.
I agree that some of his decision making, and ball control skills need to be improved, but he could still perform as a starter for several teams. If he were to follow his OC to GB (if Favre retires), I think he would be a great fit to start/backup Aaron Rodgers while he gets adjusted to the NFL. Brooks knows McCarthy's system, and any QB that could go in and throw for over 3500 yards, and have more TDs than INTs would be a benefit to that team. Plus, he would be relatively cheap.
Most of those stats were put up in a dome also. I don't think he would put up close to those numbers in the frozen tundra
I think Miami should definitly go after him since Daunte will be out for a while. If not Maimi, maybe the Jets? Will be interesting. He's obviously got talent, as inconsistant as hes been, he has talent.

I guess you missed the part that they all 3 of them were injured some piont last yr and boo and deuce are always seemingly injured but anyways brooks is a lot better then your average qb, yea he has his mistakes but I'm willing to bet he starts again very soon, in fact I wish the vikings pick this guy up
If Brooks goes cheaply somewhere, it may be a better deal than the Fins got for Culpepper. He's starting quality (QB is a lot thinner than RB, let's face it), and plenty of teams could upgrade by acquiring him. Especially since the buzz dying down makes it look like he might only cost half of what Brees did...

I didn't miss that part. I am talking about his body of work. He has less than a 2:1 td to pick ratio and his teams never seem any better than 8-8 and he makes stupid, stupid mistakes a lot of time.
He is undoubtably talents, but inconsistently so. Funny, his numbers are inconsistently consistent. His numbers are always in the same range, but you never know what to get any given day.
Last year was a freebee for anyone on NO, explain the other years.
IMO, the guy with talent, but is inconsistent is the most dangerous type of guy to have. You are always seduced by his talent, can't cut the cord, and hard to game plan for. Do you dumb it down, or hope he can harness the talent? It puts you in a straddle the line position, where as maybe with a more predictabl, but less talented guy, you can build the team in such a way as to account for that.
