Portis Overrated?

How dare you question Brunell. He is one of the best things that Washington has seen in years at the QB position. Just because he's not throwing for 300 yds and 3 TDs every week does not make him inconsistent. Gibbs never sends out many options for Brunell, he is stuck on this maximum protection thing. Brunell seldom make stupid mistakes like many of the quarterbacks in the NFL, thats why he has one of the best interception per attempt ratios.

Thats what makes a QB good if you ask me, he should lead the NFC in the Pro Bowl hands down.

I'll bet his numbers would be better if he were given the opportunity to call his own plays.
