QB blackballed for criticizing NFL?
Posted: Saturday October 27, 2007 09:04AM ET

Aaron Brooks was the starting quarterback for the Saints in that dreadful season, when everyone's world was turned upside down. He got himself in hot water by complaining that the NFL and the Saints' owner had been lax in helping the team cope with a horrendous natural disaster. At 31, Brooks is still young by quarterback standards, and the handful of general managers I spoke with since Wednesday agreed that he was above average. So why isn't he playing? Brooks may still be serving time for the comments he made in 2005 when the Saints, like New Orleans itself, were demoralized by unimaginable upheavals caused by Katrina.

I really think its because he sux and is not a leader. But we have been down this road.
