Article: Mobile Brooks a big upgrade over Collins

AARON BROOKS is criticized by some as being "Kerry Collins with legs."

You're missing the point, people.

Kerry Collins with legs is a good thing, not a bad thing.

Imagine Kerry Collins with legs ...

-He wouldn't stand like a statue seven steps directly behind center on every pass play, giving all 11 defenders a treasure map to exactly where to find him.

-He'd buy time for his talented receivers by rolling away from pressure, rather than frustrating Randy Moss & Co. with sack after throwaway after sack.

-He'd allow -- imagine this -- the Raiders offensive coordinator to have at least an ounce of creativity.

-And he'd pick up a drive-sustaining first down or two each game.
