What's that? An Aaron Brooks thread?

But the \"well, who are we gonna get if we deal Brooks\" crowd ain\'t hearing it. No matter who you mention - especially a journeyman-type (Kitna, Dilfer & Maddox are some usual suspects) - they\'re gonna bash, or simply ignore, it.

I don\'t like being lumped together like that. I\'m against just bringing in any other QB because I see them as a step backwards. But, if you\'re going to state that these guys are lesser QBs and that\'s ok with you cuz you want to put money elsewhere, I can accept that. I\'m not in favor of that idea because you\'re assuming that just because you spend the money on D, then you\'re going to have a better D. See Washington as an example of NOT.

Sadly, Brooks isn\'t really better than most any journeyman we could pick up. He\'s just more expensive. Why not deal him while he\'s still young (and great, according to him) and save a little cash to build elsewhere?

Well, opinions vary as to Ab\'s effectiveness, but then again, I haven\'t seen these guys putting up AB type numbers over the last 4 years. Like I said above, if you\'re willing to take a step backwards at the QB position in order to bulk up on D, that may very well be a good plan. It is risky though. Remember who is still the DC.
