Unrestricted free agent quarterback Aaron Brooks, the former New Orleans starter released last week after the Saints signed Drew Brees, has reached agreement with the Oakland Raiders on a two-year contract.

Well this is our QB for next year,

I hope we still pick Hawk or greenway

I gave up hope on getting Hawk when we lost the 6th pick in the coinflip. It wouldnt surprise me one bit if Al snagged Greenway. Afterall since when did conventional wisdom work for Al....

The question is: Can the guy get along with his own nerves?

Brooks had a fabulous season in 2003 (23 TDs, 8 INT, if I remember correctly...) and last year was really a slump, because the whole team was a slump which is somewhat understandable if you look at the situation.

Brooks has great tools to work with and is the right QB for a fragile O-Line since the guy can move. So: If Brooks gets his confidence back and stays calm, he should be an improvement to Collins, not only because he's 4M$ cheaper. After he did his first year we'll se if he's good enough to start the second. If he's not... Walter should have developed just fine by then so we could hand the guy the torch to light it.

I'm not at all pessimistic about that. ASt least we won't draft a QB in the first round then... I still say: Bring in Hawk or another high-profile LB, cuz Ferguson and Huff will probably be gone by the time we're on the board.

Will Moss be mad if he runs too much? (when Moss is wide open) He's capable of doing that!!
