Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)

T,

Im not so sure that alot of the pass rush isn't caused by the QB play. Not all of it, but he hangs on too long alot of the time and wears out his O-line. And throwing a pick when they bring 8 guys and you have 3 guys running routes in unnacceptable...(even though it got called back). You should have a slant route open and running for 6.

They know he's not that fast and they took advantage to the max...

Good points. I think Dockery has regressed big time and I've never been a huge fan of Samuels admittedly.

On the post game show on Sportstalk 980, Doc Walker said it best -- (paraphrasing) if Campbell can't do better than Brunell, then it was a waste of a pick.

That's basically where I am. I don't think you're throwing in the towel by letting Jason Campbell play. At some point, you have to wonder if sitting Brunell and having the kid take over is what's best for the team.

Does Brunell still give us the best chance to win? While it's not all on him, maybe Campbell completes a pass to a tightly covered receiver, or he does something that Brunell couldn't do all night: hit a receiver while being blitzed and make the opposing defense pay for it. Make them back off a bit. The way things played out tonight, Dallas had no reason not to blitz someone on every single play. The Redskins couldn't defend it once!
