Can We Bench Brunell Now

Mark Brunell led his team nowhere, twice. That's a major indictment on Brunell's ability to win game for us. Brunell now is 2-4 as a starter this year.

Brunell certainly is not innocent, I just think it's funny we have a bench Brunell thread that's seeing about 6 times as much action as the defense bashing thread. That's very telling where our mindsets as fans are. Brunell is the bad guy even though the D just went belly up for Travis Henry and a rookie QB.

As you know, the QB gets too much credit for good and too much blame for bad. It's just that Brunell's best and last chance to take us to the Super Bowl was last year. He did a very good job until late in the season. It's time to find our QB of the future. I hope he's aleady on our team.

I think the point is that Brunell basically gives our team no chance to win (I'm sure someone else has said this but I'm not reading back). All he can do is manage a very simple offense that is somewhat disguised by a lot of fancy shifts and the occasional reverse. The dink and dunk shit has got to go and if he's too afraid to attempt a deep throw more than once or twice a game he needs to hang them up.

That being said, the defense has probably been a bigger dissapointment this year than MB, but it's not like we can just overall the entire unit and start different players.
