As far as Brunell, what can you say? I mean, think of how good Jacksonville would be if they didn't draft Leftwich and kept Brunell around 3-4 more years. It's not like Leftwich will bust or anything. He's just not what Brunell has been and still is.

I had never really been of the give the coach the benefit of the doubt school of thought, but even 7 months before I joined this here site, I decided that the only reason that Gibbs would make Brunell the starter with a healthy Ramsey is because he knew (and trusted) Brunell far better than anyone else could hope to. So that was the first time ever I gave a coach the benefit of the doubt when I would have done the opposite thing.

10 wins later, I really can't complain about the results. There is close to NO reason to expect a Brunell drop off this season. He's a top 50 QB of all time (I know it sounds farfetched, but make a list and you'll see what I mean), and we were lucky that Jacksonville was willing to part with him so easily, even if he couldn't play in 2004.
