Culpepper had 12 intereceptions last year in only seven games played, and has thrown 86 interecptions in his career in 81 games played. Vick threw 13 interceptons and has 39 interceptions in 58 games played in. This might be because Vick and the Falcons run the ball more, and throws less than Culpepper and the Vikings did, but the fact is that Vick doesn't throw that many interecptions.I like Aaron Brooks as a quarterback. He has a good arm, nice spiral on his throw, he can run well, and he can throw well on the run. The problem is that he overthrows his receivers, doesn't know when is a good time to run and when is a good time to pass sometimes, and seems to get a little shaken up when things aren't going well. If Brooks stars out a game passing well the rest of the game will go well, but if he starts out a game bad, he gets down on himself to much and just seems to throw even worse. I think Brooks is the worst in the league at doing this to himself.

    The problem is that he is a complete dumbass. He thinks that if he throws it hard enough it won' get intercepted. He averaged 1 interception a game last year which is not good. Yes, he has a good arm but he has very very poor QB vision. He won't start. Kerry will.

    Kerry Collins has been cut, so it will be between Walters and Brooks. I haven't got to see Walters in the NFL, but in college he was pretty good at Arizona State. Walters is the future, and if he is ready to go, then he should be starting. If he needs another year or half of a season to learn, then he Brooks needs to start.

    Oh I didn't know that. Bad choice by Oakland in my book. Collins makes better decisions then Brooks. I'm guessing Brooks then. Good luck the Lefty lol.

    OK np. I was pretty sure he was still there. Collins will start.Edit: Collins and Brooks are very simlar. They both can throw the ball well but have bad accuracy and make poor decisions. I would have thought they ould get an accurate QB who doesn't throw picks instyead of the same type of player. People that like this signing really don't know much about football.
