Just to revisit this locked on idea - those that think that Brooks was \"locked on\" need to show why this argument isn\'t any good:

1. The rough average number of passes thrown to a #1 WR is about 27% of passes thrown.
2. The number of passes thrown to Joe was 28% of total passes.
Therefore,
3. Joe was thrown to at exactly the same rate as all #1 WRs.
Therefore,
4. Joe was not locked on to any more than any other #1 WR.

Here are two things that I think count against this argument:
1. Brooks appeared to be locked on in some games - the short reciever was open, but Brooks was looking for Horn. I stipulate to this; Brooks did lock on at times. However, that doesn\'t show that he was any more or less locked on than any other QB, given the argument above.
2. Brooks did not distribute the ball to the RB at the same rate most other QBs do. Perhaps, Brooks is locked downfield, but not necessarily on Joe - I\'ll buy that argument, given the statistical evidence. Again, this doesn\'t show that Brooks was locked on Joe.
