Almost everybody thought Coach Gibbs was going to come in here and just wave his magical wand and we would win. I didn't. This is week six and Brunell's performance was acceptable based on what we expected from Portis's running game. Brunell was brought here to run an effecient offense. We didn't expect Jansen to leave us that early in the season and with Ray Brown in there it makes Brunells job even harder. I knew what kind of QB Brunell was before he came here. And so did Coach Gibbs. Gibbs has more knowlege of QB's in his pinky finger than all of us on the Warpath combined. It's great to be passionate about a certain player , but not to the point where that becomes your whole focus like some of the threads I have read. If you want to look at a veteran QB who is stinking up a team, look at Kerry Collins. 8 INTS in two games. They were beaten 31 / 3 by Denver today.
Gibbs wants Brunell to do just enough to allow the defense to rest. Instead of complaining about what Brunell isn't doing, Let's talk about how our defense can score some points off of turnovers when the offense is struggling.
