Maybe. I'm guessing no, since I've seen him throw deep a bunch over the past two seasons. If he physically couldn't that's one thing, but he quite obviously can (I don't believe anyone who watches the games <or even a QB competition> disputes the fact that Brunell can toss it 50+ yards in the air), and all confidience issues aside, the D will generally play to the speed of the WRs, not the arm of the QB.
Remember, as soon as a D trys to get cute on us and puts all 11 guys within 5 yards of the LOS, they will get beat deep.
