Re: Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)
in one of John Madden's more lucid moments, he also focused directly on Brunell not being the right guy.
I say lucid, because he quite astutely remarked on how much Brunell historically throws outside the numbers. as long as i've been watching, i've never seen the official stat before.

Re: Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)
I caught that stat from Madden too, Ill. Very interesting stat.
On a side note, I'm impressed how this thread has managed to stay on track on different levels.

Re: Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)
has anyone talked about that statistic that they had on sunday night fb? the one that MB was the leading passer outside the #s and the worst inside the #s.
can anyone make anything of that. i'd think it'd be tougher to make throws all the way to the sideline but maybe he just doesn't have the touch to thread the needle anymore? maybe this explains why he can't make the pressure throws in Al's offense. i don't know i'm just speculating. it was just an interesting statistic. i know that we rolled out a bunch last year but worst and first? hmmm... |

Re: Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)
simply illustrates Brunell's "safe" style. it explains Brunell's low INT numbers (even tho he still got one picked to the outside last game...on the 1..ugh) and also explains how we've gotten by this long without a true "possession" WR.
thank god for Cooley, he's hard to miss and catches most anything his way. hopefully Brunell remembers him next game.

Re: Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)
i don't know. i just can't understand how when someone brings the house on D that someone isn't open. he must be afraid to throw it over the middle. i wish i had spent more time watching KC offense.

Re: Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)
I was just thinking, when was the last game Brunell actually tossed a TD pass. It had to be at least seven or eight games ago. None this year and none in the playoffs, right?

Re: Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)
ANOTHER FUN FACT...Brunell has not thrown for over 200 passing yards since Nov. 13th 2005......and that was just barely 226....and the last 300yrd game was Oct. 16th 2006.. 331............................................... .................................................. ..WHY?

Re: Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)
Well he also threw 5 TDs and 0 Ints against KC and Denver last year but we lost both games, so how many TDs he threw in a game doesn't always tell the whole story. If he throws 3 on Sunday and we lose 27-24 or if he throws none and we win 16-10, which would you rather have?
