Spinoff: Why does Aaron Brooks get so much hate?

Dude gave us our first playoff away game win.
I think he's made the scapegoat too much.
Just a opinion.

Why does jamarcus get so much hate from LSU fans despite being the best qb in school history?
Brooks was pretty terrible his last few years and laughed after blowing our playoff chances. He was too hurt to be playing though

He is at worst the third best QB in Saints history.

Well, if I was the QB of an NFL team, and I threw the ball backwards during a game, I probably wouldn't smile like "haha, oh well, I'm getting paid regardless."
But yeah, he's a much better QB than worst.

Couldn't agree more. Race and local backup probably each had something to do with it. I definitely remember some comments about his race from multiple people around us in the terrace back then.

The scrambling Aaron Brooks wasn't bad. The pocket passer Aaron Brooks was terrible.

If you said something I don't like, I might say "Ugh, Australian dumbass."
But it's not because I hate Australians.

For me it was two things.
His inability to improve from year to year and his countenance on the sideline was non productive and annoying as f@ck!

Yeah, the smiling after turnovers thing really pissed me off.

Because people are stupid. Haslett is more to blame than brooks for his issues. He tried to turn him into a pocket passer after he had some success which was retarded.
It was also an expectations issue.
He was Mike Vick's cousin and everyone was familiar with how awesome prep puppy murdering Vick was.

The backwards pass. Then laughed
He had some great moments. Also had some of the dumbest moments. Too many bad moments, too few good moments.
And LSU fans dont hate the LSU JaMarcus. They hate NFL JaMarcus. Big difference, especially with this. People hate on Aaron Brooks that was a Saint.
And I agree he is a top 5 Saints QB of all time.... but that shows you the type of franchise we have been.... until 2006. He was 38-44, and had 120 TDs, but 84 INTs.

There was a very vocal minority that didn't like him when he was here, they just got way louder when he busted in Oakland.
"Underachieving" black QBs don't get much rope with a lot of people.

I'm in the way you can't pass like Aaron Brooks

LSU has a large amount of fans who hated LSU jamarcus
Aaron was awesome at times and then was terrible at the end

True... but any QB that is a top 10 pick or so and just sucks dont get much rope with a lot of people. Regardless of race.

brooks was an arse clown. he benefited heavily from playing under mike mccarthys offense. without him, brooks is mediocre at best.
he showed no care or responsibility. people dont want that in a QB. he played like he didnt give a frick, so fans turned on him. he had talent, but as i said, benefited from the offensive system in place. he had no drive.
yes, he "won" us a playoff game. but he couldve done even more if he cared a little.
