Yeah hee needs to hold on to the rock. We don't need another Fumbles the Clown back there.

We need an offensive line to protect him so he's not running for his life on every play.

That's what I used to say about Aaron Brooks.

Even when Aaron HAD time, he still wouldn't practice the
most basic football aptitude skills which would have allowed
him to become a halfway decent QB. He was more worried
about being able to run like his cousin up in the ATL than
he was about learning how to throw a pass correctly.

Disagree. Brooks wanted to be a pocket passer. Generally speaking there was rarely a pocket from which he could pass. And for all his lack of skill and 'football aptitude', with him at QB we were scoring 30+ points a game. The problem was we were giving up 31. Was he Drew Brees? Not even close. But I'll always believe he was capable. People pick him apart, but we had a damn good offense back then. If only our defense had been average...

Brooks wasn't the problem then.

Easy scapegoat for those not paying attention.
