I know I said he "stunk" but really he was pretty solid for a young player, he just didn't live up to the hype. I think he could've developed into a good player for Cincy just as he did for SF, but I seem to remember him being in Marv's dog house for whatever reason. As bfine pointed out, it could've had something to do with the domestic violence thing. Or like you mentioned, it was Zim's first year, so he maybe Brooks didn't fit what Zim was looking for.

I seem to remember Brooks being released at final cuts but we wanted to re-sign him.  My belief was that it was a case of wanting to go heavy at another position for week one, while sending Brooks a message about dedication and conduct.  The 49ers swooped in on the waiver wire, and that was that.  I could be wrong, but that is the way I remember it...
