The next best? Aaron Brooks. Brooks ranks second only to Tom Brady in fourth quarter and overtime comebacks. Among all active quarterbacks in the NFL, Brooks' 16 late-game victories sit just under the three-time Super Bowl champ. In just 2004 alone, Brooks led his team down the field for five game-winning drives, accounting for over half of the team's total wins on the season.

Wow, Aaron Brooks is number two huh?...never really ssen him as a Staubach type for late comebacks...

That is a shock, because Brooks has the exact opposite reputation. He's seen more as a guy who would blow a big game than lead a comeback victory, you know? Maybe its possible he just has a bad rap, and is a better QB than most people think...?

That was my take on it...Seems like the Saints were found of falling behind, and Brooks never had a change not matter how well he did there...lets see how he looks in Silver and Black.

Brooks isnt bad. Id say hes a good QB even but he was demonized by the Saints who cant seem to find a way to win no matter who is the QB. Furthermore Brooks is in Oakland now who has a long reputation of taking in every castoff of every NFL team whether it be discipline problems or just plain being washed up...both in Warren Sapp's case! That doesnt exactly give him a fresh start but ill think hell do reasonably well. Possibly a fantasy late round steal?

I always try to snag With Trent Green or Brooks as my fantasy back up (behind Peyton Manning my keeper)...with Moss on the same team, you could certainly do worse than Brooks as a backup.
