Brooks looks like he is still struggling with how he wants to play the game .

Running - scrambling - playmaker quarterback or Precision pocket passer . After what I will say is 5 years in the league , Brooks is struggling with what will I be when I grow up. Brooks is of the Cunningham mold , Great mobility and a strong arm .The best example of the two styles was in comparing Montana to Young .

My thought would be that defensive coordinators around the league will start to have a rule of thumb with Brooks , play up and force him to make the deep throw . Brooks can shred a cover 2 defense but has problems when they keep the under routes blanketed . Seattle blanketed the under routes and made receivers pay the piper , Tampa played the Saints in a zone package allowing the receivers to pick spots .

The way to beat the Saints offense is to spy Deuce , man coverage on the receivers and blanket the under routes . Brooks passing style is the reason the screen pass does not work in New Orleans , Brooks needs a passing lane to throw the dart , the screen pass is thrown with touch over the heads of the rushing defense .

Brooks is a quarterback that takes what the defense gives you .
