I don't understand how Brooks crashed and burned so hard. Didn't work hard enough? Bad coaching? He was as promising as say a Matt Ryan or a Matt Stafford back in 2001.

Disagree. In 2001 he was more a flash in the pan. We were excited for a playoff win but his record as a starter was 10-11 after 2001. His TD/INT ratio was 35/28. He wasn't highly touted out of college.

His ticket was immense physical skills. His downfall for weaknesses in intangibles & leadership. He never refined his skills. The not working hard enough might be right. As for coaching he might have played better than he was from that- Mike McCarthy OC.

Out of current QBs I would liken him closer to Matt Cassel. Good career start but will be a backup again if not putting it together.
