So that sounds like a good back-up to me.
Brunell can if he stay's healthy?? Well what evidence do you have that shows he can stay healthy? He's been hurt every year he's been here, and he was hurt his last year in Jacksonville. He's coming off major shoulder surgery in a year where he played poorly. Why do you think Jacksonville gave him the boot? If he has to play for an extended period of time then we are going to have to go back to the dink and dunk offense. Yes Brunell probably won't loose the game, but he will do nothing to win it. And our defense isn't good enough anymore to carry the team. I like Brunell, but it's time to move on.

Brooks DID have bright spots but ALSO made a lot of dumb plays that cost his team in those same games. He has hit his peak and that's not good enough to play in my opinion.
Brunell can stay healthy holding a clipboard. If he's the #1 and being hit every week, of course he'll break down...but as a backup, he can stay healthy. Not that tough of a concept to me.
