Go read Oakland forums-

I just grabbed one and the main QB thread reads mostly like this (9 pages to choose from)-

this has been the worst f**king offseason ever

hopefully we get some news that he is NOT guraranteed to start and that the job is up for grabs between him and Walter!

he better be here for backup role

this sucks...I miss the Raiders of old...how did things get so f**ked up in just a few years?

We have just switched one bum for another. At least he has to compete for a starting job and not just have it handed to him...........C'mon Andrew!! Show your stuff, dude!! Put this bum on the bench where he belongs

we're paying this ******** $8 million over 2 years....
this deal keeps getting better and better
Kevin Mawae signed a deal for $3.25 million per year and would have helped our line, but we don't even try to get him and sign this jagoff for $4 million a year?!
WHAT THE HELL

Bad Bad OFFSEASON. These message boards will be filled with BROOKS haters by Nov 2206, If he's our starter. This dude IS BAD!!!!!
WTF???????
The only thing I hope is, WALTER is as good as everybody thinks.
No optimism from me at all on this signing

The only upgrade of Brooks over Collins is mobility - his decision making skills and choking skills are around Collins' level. He f**king sucks and he won't get us anywhere if he starts. Andrew Walter had better beat his ass out. If Brooks is our starter next season that really sends a message that our organization is going down the tubes

woo I'm going to be king in madden 07 with aaron brooks cone of vision the size of a credit card
this guy sucks, is a proven loser!

expect more blackouts lmao

Brooks will do just enough to tantalize you with his athletic ability but will inevitably make bone headed plays that will drive RaiderNation to madness.
We already know what this guy will bring us, why bother settling for a proven ****up?
Oh yeah cause there really wasn't any other options.
I can tell you that Saint fans(all five of them) hate the guy and were ready to help him pack to get him out of town

I think this was a bad move. I have been a leader on the Anti-Brooks front. I have watched "Radio" suck in New Orleans for years. I have repeatedly laughed in the faces of both of the Saints fans. This is a bitter pill for me.

Of the QB's who qualified for the official passer rating standing in 2005 Brooks finished 32 out of 34, ahead of only JP Losman and Kyle Orton

Brooks is like a fan. He sucks on one side and blows on the other........
Just wait until he throws his first int or fumbles and follows it up by smileing......
The second Brooks doesn't atart he will become a cancer.....

After further review ,confessing to the priest tonight how many "F" bombs I threw out today over the Brooks signing and almost swearing to not TALK about the RAIDERS till the DRAFT is over for lent, I agree with this statement.
I still think Brooks SUCKS.
WALTER PLEASE BE THE MESSIAH

Tobias-Reiper

.. man, I actually feel bad for the guy..
...if he thought the boos were bad here, just wait until he hears the boos there; well, never mind the boos, after the first bad game, he'd welcome boos instead of what he's going to be hearing.
...seems that he already has his "Delhomme" lined up for him in Oakland.
...now this time he actually has to earn the spot...

We've been there and have a t-shirt.

The boos in Oakland will come.

Raiderfans can suck it. I couldn't have wished a more fitting starting QB on the Raiders.

The good news is that AB is a "top 5 QB in this league and worth millions of dollars to that franchise."

I can't wait until Art Shell comes out and says, "As long as I'm head coach, I want AB as my quarterback."

Or AB chimes in with my own personal favorite. "The deal is that I'm a great QB on a mediocre team, ______________ is an average QB on a great team."

I went to a raiders board myself just to see the other side of the fence, and sure enough there was plenty of support for AB. I feel the raiders coaching staff and fans will find out he is nothing but more of the same of what we had regardless of what city he plays in. I give him one quarter of football before the fans are all over him for a backwards pass to a lineman, interception where there was no wr, or inexplicable fumble caused by a phantom running through the field. I'll look forward to switching my directv channel during the saints commercial breaks to watch how "well" he does at his new venue.

Might be interesting if he doesn't even start.

LongTimeFan

Raider fans WILL NOT PUT UP WITH A BACKWARDS PASS, they'll want his head if he screws up..
The Raider Nation isn't a place for Brooks.

Classic comment about Brooks




I agree wholeheartedly, BMG. (Why when I type your name do I have a sudden urge to buy a ton of CD's?) Anyhow, I now rank Raider fans right up there with Philly fans, White Sox fans, Bucs fans, and Falcons fans. They can kiss my 'taint.

hey.....im a philly fan (except of the eagles)
