Aaron Brooks must find a new team to lose for
One season, eight losses, eight interceptions to three touchdown passes…in Detroit, it’s enough to earn a three year-contract extension. In Oakland, where the standards are ever-so-slightly higher, it’s enough to cost Aaron Brooks his job.
To be fair, Brooks didn’t have a whole lot to work with; his offensive line helped him eat turf 26 times and his top two targets, Randy Moss and Jerry Porter, are spoiled prima donnas who spent a significant portion of the season on the sidelines getting their nails done. We think.
But rebuilding has to start somewhere, and it wasn’t enough to let lame duck Art Shell go. Of course it wont be enough, so unless JaMarcus Russell is getting a one-year Isiah-Thomas-like contract, they might want to make sure they get a few other problems fixed first. Note to Al Davis - whining about not playing in LA is not one of those other problems.
