LOL how many wins did that spectacular Frye/Dilfer platoon work out to?
QB platoons in the pros don't work, look no further than Spurrier's handling of our QB situation in 2003. When was the last time you saw a QB platoon get a team to the Super Bowl?

See my comments to PSU who made the same points.

Playing musical chairs with your QB in the pros usually means a couple of things,
#1 You don't have a true #1 guy
#2 Your team probably stinks
#3 You're battling injuries

True, but none of those factors apply to this specific situation.

We're not the 2005 Browns. We have a team that has serious Super Bowl potential, and you want to take a step back at the QB position now?

It's only a step back if one assumes that Brunell will stay healthy and perform at peak level for the entire season. Based on probability, that isn't a realistic assumption.

When Brunell was brought in it was assumed he would be here for 3 years. Based on the way his contract was structured and considering his age. The 3 year plan for Brunell seems to be working out perfectly as the team has been built up around him to the point now where we seem primed to take a serious shot at winning it all.

If you feel that Brunell's play in the second half of the season was of championship caliber, and that the low production of the passing game was solely due to causes other than Mark's individual performance, I understand your position.
I would disagree but, since it comes down to our perceptions of what happened on the field, it's not something we could debate.
