I honestly don't know how anyone could hold up stats and say, "look, this proves Brunell played better". If that's the case, statiscally speaking, Mark Brunell is one of the better quarterbacks in the NFC.

The offense was clearly more dynamic with Campbell in the game. As has been stated repeatedly, defenses played and schemed differently with Campbell in the game. I also think the offensive line kicked up a couple of notches because they could breathe a little with JC in there.

South, you're correct about the sack total. It was a direct correlation to Brunell's unwillingness to stand in the pocket and take a hit.
