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.
