Re: Now we know why Brunell kept dinking and dunking

I think that Brunell's starting days are over, but I think that with a full year in the offense he would be able to win games for us if Campbell is injured next year (not to imply he could win back the starting job... I don't see that happening under any senario).

There seems to be a lot of Gibbs bashing for wanting to stick with his hand picked QB, but it seems like lots of coaches do that. Remember Spurrier and his Florida guys? How bout Parcells and Bledsoe (or Testiverdie?(sp)). Heck, would Eli be starting for the G-Men if his name wasn't Manning? A guy named Brees was traded away so that Marty could try out his hand picked guy (Rivers sure saved Marty's butt by playing so well). Regardless of what we all see and think, the fact is that Brunell was benched his first year, clearly outplayed Ramsey in the preseason of his second year and got his job back, and then was benched this year. Gibbs benched his hand picked guy twice, making him earn his way back onto the field after his benching.

I agree with those who think that Gibbs left Brunell on the field to long, but I am also smart enough to know that I'm a fickle fan, not an NFL coach.
