Please don't be silly, and don't just focus on one aspect of my post. I'm tired of looking forward to posts by Dallas supporters knowing that they'll be more positive than those posted by (many) Redskin fans.
To the best of my recollection, only one person criticizing Brunell earlier admitted he played well later. And I think you were it. So take pride in your accomplishment, but don't give others credit they don't deserve.
On a prior post, you pointed to an article that said Brunell was the worst comeback QB since 1996. (I don't have the location at this time.) Two things stood out:
(1) By their criterion, Ramsey is one of the worst, and his record when they could come back in the 4th quarter was 0-11. Brunell is only worse because he has played many more games.
(2) QBs get NO credit for maintaining a lead. I disagree with this. I agree if the QB is on a team that can get rushing first downs when the other team knows they will rush. But when some passes are necessary this should also be credited to the QB. One of Brunell's strengths is that he doesn't throw many picks. So to ignore this in his case is significant.
And the person I'm referring to is "chief chucking my rat"... oops "spear". Oops, make those all CAPITAL LETTERS.
