Was going to give up the arguement, hopefully can do it after this post.
Those were two completely seperate points. In one I comment that last year we had a system built around Brunell. This year we have a system that has been successful with a different QB, and on the surface it appears that he's actually improved even though the offense isn't built for his strengths. This is based 100% on observation and really isn't saying
anything on its own, just adding to that guy's playcalling point, which I agree with.
The other one is simply addressing what is an inconsistency between what you believe and what evidence says. You say that Brunells limitations are what make him a small-role player in the offense. But the offense itself on the surface
appears to be unchanged. Therefore the QB role would be the same whether or not it is him or someone else. It is certainly not Brunell that makes the system. You drew up the point that his limitations make him a small role player to cover the gap in your belief that his stats are 100% product of system. I just can't see anyway that's probable, so I pointed that out. You stat it as if it was fact...but in reality I don't think its an even realistic statement.
That's the problem though. Without statistics, it's going to be my word vs your word.
