Re: Curious Yet Obvious?
Brunell also protects himself well. It is not a disparaging comment, but rarely does he sit in the pocket and take a big hit. If he feels pressure coming, he will roll out fairly quickly and get rid of the ball or throw it to whatever side of the hash he has rolled to.
The QBs who sit in the pocket and step up to deliver the ball, or the scramblers, are the ones who will have the serious injuries - Brunell is neither really.
Unfortunately, the QBs who wait in the pocket are also the ones who tend to deliver a lot of intermediate-to-deep passes, which Brunell also doesn't really do.
