Are we putting Brooks on IR or outright releasing him?
Well if read correctlywe signed this new guy to a two year deal so I think that means the door for Brooks. I think there is more to this story then just Brooks performance on the field. didn't he smart off to Shushis (I can't get his name right) maybe he has rubbed others wrong.

Gamble on a position other then Punter.
I agree. We could've, most likely, got Brooks as an UDFA. Why not draft someone else in the 6th? As we know all to well with this team draft picks are at a minimum and we have to try to make the most out of every selection. Who knows we could've uncovered another gem like Horton with Brooks selection we'll never know.

You guys are bitching about a 6th rounder that didn't pan out but not complaining about two second rounders that have hardley seen action. What say you about that?

I say you got the makings of a new thread.

You got to wonder if Derek Frost isn't laughing his butt off.
Brooks will pan out in the long run, but he has a long way to go.
Well dont think Frost is having any better luck either.

Yeah, Frost is not laughing...he's about to get cut by Green Bay, too.
Brooks was a waste of a pick, but not a high pick, so the waste was limited.
In VC's defense (a position I don't always occupy), if Brooks had panned out, it would have been great. An excellent punter is a real weapon when it comes to the field position game. It is a shame that Brooks was a gamble lost. And yes, we might have been able to sign him for free without losing a draft choice, but someone else may have scooped up the Ray Guy award winner first.

Thomas is at least seeing some playing time. Kelly has been injured, not much to say there. Neither of those guys are killing us on the field the way Brooks was.

This is where Vinny's holy draft board comes into play :D

But with all due respect to Vinny he did a pretty good job with Colt, Rhinehart, and Horton and I'm more then willing to give the 3 second rounders a little more time.

Given how solid this year's draft is looking from top to bottom I don't know how you are going to complain about one guy not working out.
