He's not the best backup, but he's better than average. (thus the 15 or 16 better back ups)

Anytime we do this its subjective, but off the top of my tired brain:

Mark Brunell
Brad Johnson
Chris Simms
David Carr
Joey Harrington
Brian Griese
Brooks Bollinger
Gus Frerotte
Seneca Wallace
Kurt Warner
Trent Dilfer
Brady Quinn
Charlie Batch
Kyle Boller (maybe)
David Garrard
Jim Sorgi
Tim Rattay
Sage Rosenfels
Kellen Clemens
Craig Nall
Billy Volek
Billy Joe Tolliver
Billy Joel
Bill Nye the Science Guy
Jerry Porter (just ask him!)
The Saints' Waterboy
Aaron Carter (but not Quincy Carter)
and Patrick Ramsey

So no, I don't think Brooks is a top half backup. I don't really think he has any business left in this league, no matter what Pete Prisco says.

OOOOH, wait a minute...I thought he was saying Brunell, not Brooks.
Brunell is a top 5 or 6 backup...Brooks shouldn't even be 3rd string.

That's what I thought.

Still, making that list was fun

When I first started reading those name, I was like, damn this guy hates brunell, and he's on drugs. LOL.
For as much as I don't want Brunell as my starter, I like him as a backup.

Not that you had much credibility but Brunell was your first answer so I quit reading after that.

Midway through the season, Brunell could not run or throw the ball more than 8 yards down the field.

If you really think that Brunell is better than Aaron Brooks, you need to check into AA.
