Nice write up on Brooks in the "Secret Superstar" series by Pro football focus http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2012/06/20/secret-superstar-ahmad-brooks-olb-san-francisco-49ers/ The 49ers were arguably the most surprising team in 2011, and it was almost completely due to their defense. On the defensive line both Justin Smith and Ray McDonald improved, even though we had thought Smith's play in 2010 was as good as it gets for 3-4 defensive ends. At linebacker, Patrick Willis continued to play at an All-Pro level, NaVorro Bowman showed he should be a great inside linebacker for years to come, while Aldon Smith was outstanding as a rookie pass rusher. At defensive back, an underachieving Carlos Rogers finally lived up to the hype of being a Top 10 draft pick. Those players have been mentioned plenty by Pro Football Focus as well by as the rest of the media. What makes the 49ers defense even scarier is that they have strong starters at the other positions as well. One that especially stands out is left outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks. It was a long journey for Brooks to make it to the NFL, to the 49ers, and ultimately to the starting lineup in San Francisco. With so many star performances it became easy to overlook the impact he made, but Brooks made the plays the 49ers needed him to make. It's hard not to look at this LB corps as tops in the NFL

It seemed like to me Brooks was the only one in the playoffs and Super Bowl to get sacks..

Yeah, he is terrible.

The idiot was only a second team All Pro.

Got to get rid of all players who are not first team All Pros.

Wut... They just gave him an extension because of his consistent play. This is a failure of the armchair GM to recognized what is required of Brooks at his position.
