I think this stat is purely product of system. Since in Gibbs' offense the backs would block almost exclusively on many passing plays, they never had a chance to catch the passes. Brunell would throw passes away last year, whereas now, he completes those passes to the back. It would fortify your explination of Brunell's increased completion percentage this year.

It's certainly been a positive change. Brunell is averaging near a half yard more per attempt this year. (6.7 in 2005, 7.1 in 2006).

I would argue that this is an instance of him grasping the system (Saunders' history involves a ton of checkdowns), but no matter how you explain it, it doesn't change what hes done.

i knew you could do it. i'd agree it doesn't change what he's done, which is lose games without getting interceptions. not sure why're you're content with Brunell still grasping the system by midseason, but is part of Al Saunders system using the other receivers? just for reference, what are the Manning brothers YPA?
