So, since I'm not really a fan of generalizations -"Brunell never throws the ball more than 10 yards"-I thought I'd chart the "deep passes" I went week by week, QB by QB; including total completions and attempts and what percentage of the total completions were deep completions and what percentage of the total attempts were deep attempts. I didn't include such things as who won the game, where the completions for touchdowns, where the incompletions interceptions, etc. But I thought this might give a good idea of where we stand, compared to the rest of the league. (I sorted it by deep attempts)

Enjoy!

Grrrrrrrrrrrr! Brunell never throws deep? What about the Jags? What about last week to Randal El??? What about the Dallas game in 05?? Come on! He CAN throw deep...... It's all about him wanting to play conservative which keeps him from throwing deep on a regular basis. But he CAN DO IT!
