Aaron Brooks and leadership

How about we start with the player at the position in the system .

Is Brooks the quarterback for a team that has the Hogs and loves to grind the ball ??
No......

Is Brooks a quarterback in a deviation of a westcoast offensive structure ???
Yes .......

Now why don\'t we look at the player in the system ???

In a WCO,

The quarterback must be a poised leader who manages a team well. He should be accurate and be able to throw all the different types of passes. He needs to quickly read defenses and get rid of the ball quickly. Because of the deception involved in the WCO, a good ball handler is a big plus. Most importantly, a quarterback\'s teammates must believe in him.

wide receivers must be good (precise) route runners. They need to be able to read defenses and adjust their routes during the play based on the coverage as it develops. They should have good hands, be quick in and out of their cuts (to separate from defenders), and be good runners after the catch (the WCO depends on yards after the catch).

tight ends must be able to read defenses, get open, and make the clutch catch over the middle of the defense. Getting off the line of scrimmage quickly is critical.

running backs must be good receivers, have good hands and be able to pick up the blitz. Elusiveness is also a big plus since the running back will be able to pick up big yardage after the catch if he can make one or two defenders miss.

Now let\'s break this down :

The quarterback must be a poised leader who manages a team well.
Brooks .... No

He should be accurate and be able to throw all the different types of passes.
Brooks ..... No

He needs to quickly read defenses and get rid of the ball quickly.
Brooks .... No

Because of the deception involved in the WCO, a good ball handler is a big plus.
Butterfinger Brooks ..... No

Most importantly, a quarterback\'s teammates must believe in him.
Brooks ..... Questionable

Simple math dictates , Wrong quarterback in the system .........
