I remember the days when I thought Aaron Brooks would lead us to a championship...I was a teenager and I didn't know too much about the small nuisances of the game.
It wasn't until we got drew that I realized how terrible brooks was! When AB first came in I thought we had something special. He could have been but he didn't have the drive or work ethic.
Watching Drew play with us for 6 years now, I've gotten to the point where when he drops back I expect a completion. Thinking back to the AB days...ugh..you had no idea what was going to happen when that guy dropped back! It sure made for some excitement!
Since it's slow I thought it would be fun to bring up your favorite memory of AB (good or bad)
My favorite is from 2000. I think it was his 3rd or 4th start against the 9ers. He made a play where he eluded 3-4 defenders in the backfield and then fired a strike to "big play" Willie Jackson between two defenders. The announcer said something about him being like Houdini out there!
And that's where my 6 year roller coaster love affair started with AB!! That and when he said to get your popcorn ready!!!
I'm sure most of you will bring up the backwards pass! Which is warranted but honestly...what in the heck was a guard doing that far behind the line of scrimmage in the first place?!?!?
