How is this man out of a job? Jason Cole of Yahoo Sports is wondering the same thing:

[Aaron]Brooks has been on the mend since suffering a stomach injury last season with the Oakland Raiders. He had a workout with the Washington Redskins a month ago, according to his agent, but has gotten little interest. That’s odd for a quarterback of his physical talent. If healthy, Brooks would be one of the top backups in the league.

I’m just trying to wrap my head around the fact that Vinnie Testaverde can get a job as a backup on a team with serious super bowl possibilites, but Aaron Brooks cannot even get a job on the Lions or Browns or Cardinals. He is not a great Qb by any means, but a career QB Rating of 78.5%, a 6 year starting quarterback in the NFL, is a threat to run at any time, and has had just two truly bad seasons as a starting quarterback…unfortnately for Aaron, those were his last two seasons. But, look at his stats and tell me you don’t see a quarterback that can be a great backup in the league, especially compared to some of the stiffs currently occupying that role for some teams (Gus Frerotte is the backup for Bulger and the Rams…are you kidding me??). Someone is going to get a steal of a backup with Aaron Brooks…and I’m not saying that because he went to my alma mater.
