Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)

[Chief X_Phackter]

I have to say that I am just as disappointed as everyone else with the play of our offense. Actually both offense and defense, although there aren't many defenses around that can constantly go out there 3 & out after 3 & out and expect to shut an offense down every time. The only thing we did good this week was special teams.

I just want to throw this out there, because it's something I've been thinking about. As much as I dislike "what if" scenario's. What if we didn't go on that tear at the end of last season and were out of the playoff picture with three or so games left. Gibbs would have probably put JC in there right? I almost wish that is what happened, although it was fun to get back to the playoffs again. I just can't help but think that if JC got about three regular season games in last year (and looked decent like he is expected to eventually) if he wouldn't be the guy in there right now. He could have began the season in a battle for the starting job instead of a battle for the number two, and may have won. Especially considering it would only be his second NFL offense to learn as opposed to Mark Brunell's 5th or whatever.

Just a hypothetical. I believe that we have to stick with Brunell now that we started with him, at least for a few more games to make sure it's not just him.
