Getting back to your point Schneed, I agree Brunell has never been the prototypical dropback, pocket QB. Right now he's struggling with adjusting to this new style of offense, and he doesn't seem to trust what he's seeing.
That's a very good point. Given that the playbook is supposedly 700 pages, it's no surprise that Brunell has struggled a bit to get plays downfield. Perhaps because Mark is relatively unfamiliar with the playbook, he is not comfortable with throwing to a spot and anticipating that a receiver will be there.
