I can understand the opinions of those who think that Brunell is a liability at QB, but I would ask someone of that mindset to tell me how good of a QB they would need to have behind C for us to feel secure at the position. C'mon guys, give me a name!
Our weakness is either our kicking game or our age at key positions like TE (Fauria comes in as a FA at age 35) and DE (Can Daniels play at a high level for another year?). We have some depth problems, but so does every team in the league. It's why the NFL is such a crapshoot.
Lemar needs to stay healthy because no one else can play the middle. Sean Taylor needs to stay healthy because he's a once in a lifetime talent. The DTs need to be healthy because of a lack of depth. Brunell, Portis, and Thomas are absolutely vital on offense. Cooley would be difficult to replace, but back to the point of this thread, we have the offensive balance to cover for his absence. Goalline and 3rd and short would get real interesting personelwise.
So as long as all of those guys stay relatively healthy, we'll see you in Miami.

I'll take a stab at it, you say brunell is not a libability? He's 35 years old, not to mention if you happen to look on this website, you will see alot of forums stating brunell just broke a finger(not a significant injury) but its only the start of training camp. You say he can beat offensese with his arm and his legs well i disagree with that, again he's 35, so hes really not going to do much of that, not unless we want him to get injured faster. But he will kill offenses with his talent around him, his knowledgefor the game and experience at the position.with that said im comfortable with him back there because i really dont have any of choice at this point, but if it were my choice he wouldnt be, now im not going to sit here and tell you that I would rather like tom brady,payton manning or even carson palmers not everyone has the luxury of that but assuming that any other is up in the air i would take breeze,hasselback,rothlisburger,delome and green but thats not gonna happen either but i dont think teams fear us because of what we have at quarterback rather than what we have on the rest of the team.
