Brunell is killing Portis
"Nobody fears their vertical passing game so safeties are making a living on the run," said Rick "Doc" Walker.
That's what I've been saying since day one Doc. I cannot believe anyone still thinks Brunell deserves to be starting. That man belongs in an old age home, not on the football field. He's been killing Portis because no one believes Brunell can throw a pass except to a back or TE in the flat or to a WR running a 5 yard curl. Does anyone actually believe Portis is the bust and not Brunell? Mark Brunell can't throw on the move, he throws high, he has completed only 2 passes for 30 yards or more this SEASON, he has the least yards per passing play in the NFC, he led this team to its worst offensive outing in 43 YEARS, and he's throwing for what .8 touchdowns per game? Gibbs is absoltuley crazy for sticking with this guy. I guess he realizes we just made a $40 million mistake and wants to try to see this thing through in the hopes that the Mark Brunell of TWO years ago will resurface. Why not call Sonny Jurgenson? I bet we could get him for less. Finally, does everyone realize we're going to lose a high 2nd round pick for Brunell? We traded our 3rd rounder last year to get Brunell. To get Cooley, we had to trade next year's second rounder to the Saints. Cooley was on the board when Jacksonville used our 3rd rounder. If we don't shape up fast, we're going to have lost a HIGH second rounder in order to get Brunell. |
