Re: Time to bench Brunell?

I have riden the Brunell band wagon for a while. Ever since Gibbs put in him in when Ramsey was "injured". But the excuses are really drying up here.

We don't throw donwfield. When you don't throw downfield then they can move Safeties and LBs up and or blitz them to create free pressure. Once this happens Brunell seems either a) happy to throw it away or b) unable to make a good throw.

Now the reason we don't throw down field? A combo of bad pass protection and a CLEAR lack of confidence in Brunell's ability to do so. Either by himself or coaches.

My reasons for considering Campbell.
-At least he offers some athletic ability. He can maybe avoid pressure better.
- He has a better arm and can clearly throw downfield.

The guy has been around over a year. He understands football. I think the argument that it would be bad for him is over-rated. I am close to thinking it is really time for the Campbell era to begin.
