That backwards pass towards the offensive lineman is far from the only boneheaded play Brooks has made, that one is just the quintessential example of it. As for the numbers, it's not that simple; Ken O'Brien threw less picks per touchdown and completed a higher percentage of his passes than Phil Simms, but I've never heard anyone compare O'Brien's level of awareness to Simms', cuz he just didn't have it. So it's not just as simple as throwing up those numbers.
That being said, the ratings for Eli Manning and Favre are ridiculous - Eli was so lost he had his face plastered on milk cartons, and Favre has football alzheimers at this point.
