Mark Brunell said that the hamstring injury in 2004 wasn't that much of a factor in his lackluster performance that year. My sense is that his strong supporters make the injury theory more of a factor than it really is when assessing Mark's performance. I regard it as a minor factor.
The major factor is his age and the accumulated wear and tear on his body.
In his prime, Brunell's game might be compared to Michael Vick's, a threat to run or pass especially when rolling left. He's not that much of a threat anymore even when he's 100%. |
they mentioned it in the WP that brunell was seriously bothered by leg injuries in 2004 (black and blue all over etc) but refused to make excuses. If you've seen his post games and interviews, that's very in line with his character. I just wish he could tell gibbs when he's hurt too bad to be useful.
I gotta smirk when i see that you say injuries are a minor factor, yet "wear and tear" (which includes injuries) are a major factor in a single post.
