I think it's several things: 1. The O-line play has been subpar to say the least. That is partly because Al and his complex play book. Also, I think our O-line has great potential but, as of now they are underachieving. 2. Brunell is a proud veteran and thinks that his play is not bad, when us outsiders see differently. That is called being blind to the fact. 3. Brunell is simply not a starting qb. anymore and Gibbs is just too hard-headed to see that fact. Also, let me supplement number 1 by adding that the O-line has not given Brunell enough time in the pocket to work through the progressions. That being said, I have been one of the few Brunell guys in here to stand-up for the guy but, not anymore. Thanks for the memories Mark, and thanks for killing this season for us fans! In the movie The Bad News Bears, "wait until next year!".
