This is really quite funny coming from you.

Actually I gave you evidence, and you yourself admitted "So, yes, Aaron Brooks might actually make a trillion worse decisons than Drew Bledsoe." Since we all seem to agree on that point, I really don't see what the argument is here.

See, THAT would be a good argument for you to make. I don't know why you're wasting your breath defending Brooks.

I already gave you some. But I want actual evidence for why Simms was a more aware quarterback than O'Brien, not "Phil Simms won a Super Bowl and Ken O'Brien didn't."
>a)Wins as much or more than Bledsoe
When Brooks leads a team to the Super Bowl you can say that.
>b)Throws fewer interceptions >c)Throws for more yards and touchdowns >d)Completes passes at a comparable clip
You're confusing awareness for skill and overall effectiveness again - they are not one in the same.

Brooks ran a 4.53 40, so there goes that theory.
>On the other hand, Aaron Brooks was special, not because of >his athleticism, but because of his arm and height,
Arm strengh is part of athleticism.

No, YOU made that mistake by saying KYLE BOLLER (all caps!) actually had more rushing yards than Brooks, like it was a joke that he got outrun by a slow whiteboy. I never impugned Boller's athleticism, I just asked you WTF that had to do with anything.
