How Long For Brunell?

This loss cannot be dumped on Brunnel. He made plays and kept drives alive including rushing for a conversion. Yes, he threw the ball away (as did Johnson) when necessary. He could have done a Bledsoe?
He also made clutch throws in spite of a porous O-line, and defenders chasing him all over the field. On the final drive he put us in position to tie the game. If we had won the game he would not have been the savior. However, he was solid. If our other squads had been as solid, we would have a W, and we wouldn't be cryin' today.

ur my new best friend...i agree 100 %

Good to have some back up on this. Now the question is: Do you think Campbell would be ready if needed?

Campbell isn't the answer. A simple adjustment in attitude is what Brunell needs. He has the physical, emotional, and intelectual abilities to do he justs needs to get coached a little more on it to get some confidence. He can't be scared to try and make a play. The offense may end up being good enough that he can pass up riskier situations but for now we need some plays and the offense isn't good enough to be counted on to get it done on the next play. Take two more steps and give Sanata, Antwaan and Brandon a little extra time to get open.

i doubt that gibbs let the whole preseason/training camp go without prepping campbell...im positive he's ready, and he'll probably be a huge boost for the team...instead of being led by grandpa they will be being led by one of thier peers with something to prove...which by the way is the same reason they should have persued ramsey more than the did

ever hear the saying you cant teach an old dog new tricks?

brunel did screw up because of the thick sanders playbook

also our D did frustrate us

Well he used to run around and be more of a gunslinger so he learned new tricks at some point. One of his main qualities is that he seems very coachable and smart. He should be able to do it.

I cannot understand why the offense is getting so much praise and the defense is getting dumped on. I think both squads performed okay, but 2 cents short of a buck.

I hardly think 16 points, 163 passing yards, 1 TD, and Portis and Betts' combined 46 rushing yards is great.

I, for one, am not going to dump on either unit. They need to play better, but they didn't stink up the field.

Not sure I agree with this. It's kind of a contradiction to say a veteran quarterback can no longer have instincts and timing in his game when this is normally a problem with rookies or other inexperienced quarterbacks. I find it hard to believe that a veteran quarterback, such as Brunell, loses such intangibles just because he's an older player. That is the cerebral part of the game, not physical.

Really? So Brett Favre, who is arguably one of the best instinctive quarterbacks to ever play the game, hasn't lost any of the intagibles that made him successful for so many years?
