I didn't see last weeks' game. How did Brooks look? Anything solid that anyone can offer as to how Brooks will do this season?
Thanks in advance  |

Well, it's hard to draft someone who faced the league's three worst teams last year three weeks in a row. In those three weeks, the Saints needed 1 win to make the playoffs, and they lost all three. Brooks, IMO, still hasn't proven anything other than he's a decent fantasy QB.
Some people, like me, don't like to draft good fantasy performers that aren't necessarily good NFL players. Other people don't like to draft players when they "don't respect his game". An example of that is that there were a couple people who wouldn't draft Gannon, simply because they don't buy into the side-arm throwing, shovel-passing style of Rich. That, and the fact Rich wasn't anything until he landed with Brown and now Rice.
So, now that you have more information than you need you can understand where I'm coming from. Brooks will be ok and will probably have good fantasy numbers at the end of the year. However, he will be inconsistent and will frustrate owners by disappearing even when he has a good matchup. He's kind of the Corey Dillon of quarterbacks if you ask me... good end of the year numbers but frustrating as hell to own.
Well, I just don't like to draft guys who I don't think are winners. I really believe it's in the best interest of my team, because players who aren't that great are more likely to fail, even in friendly systems.
Kerry Collins goes in that bag too, even tho he's awesome in our league system with 300 yard bonuses. As Steg pointed out, he's gonna be looked to again this year to lead the team, especially with the departures on D. The question is, will he step up or will he fail? I think I've made my opinion clear.

BW, I was confused on that myself. I know I have taken somewhat of a stance regarding Aaron Brooks and the Saints  during the offseason, but I don't recall saying much of anything either way about Kerry Collins or the Giants  . I actually liked Collins going into this year and still like him, I mean not particularly, but basically. 
Also, just in general, Razz, are you ultimately saying that Brooks is an up-and-down player that will make you some weeks, break you others? And, you are also saying that you don't think he is a winner, right? Your point, of which I am sure there is one, did kind of get lost in the explanation. Could you re-address?
