That's one of the very first things I wanted to check out today; How many were going to have any compliments about the play of Brunell espically after he took such a trashing during the off-season

To be fair, he got trashed because he played like trash last year and had a lot to do with throwing a promising season away. I'm glad he's getting his bearings back, but he was playing against second stringers as a backup himself for the first time in over a decade. I hope he can make a great backup that brings veteran leadership to a squad of young QBs, but think about it. He didn't go in and score 4 TDs. He didnt even score one. He just completed some passes, and everybody's talking about how great he did. He definately showed improvement, but thats really not saying all that much.

I think what has raised some people's eyebrows is the accuracy and zip he showed that he so desperately lacked last season.
