Gibbs seems to be pretty annoyed at the media bashing Brunell a bit this week. I was just wondering what you guys thought of all this. Wilbon of the Post and Daly of the Times both ripped Brunell pretty good on Tuesday morning and personally I was kinda surprised considering the numbers he put up, 25/43 for 325 yards, 2 TD's and no INT's.

Granted he got off to a very slow start, but I thought he finished up very strong and made some great plays along the way. He also seems to be getting comfortable in the offense and getting some rapport going with his receivers.

Personally I thought the criticism was a little sharp and not justified. Yeah he made some poor throws in the first half, but once he got going I thought he proved he can still be a playmaker in this league. And I definitely don't agree with people saying he has a weak arm, he zipped a few passes and showed he can still make the tight throw when he has to.

I saw a QB settling into the offense and making plays, guys like Wilbon and Daly think he's washed up, I still don't get it, maybe I'm missing something, what do you guys think??
