Look, I have no problem with your position on the issue, but you've never been one to debate me really. You like to look at issues on the surface and draw conclusions quickly and then be stubborn about them when they are questioned.
I disagree with that philosophy.

Common sense finally told Gibbs that Brunell wasn't working out. Why don't you get ahold of him and feed him meaningless statistics that obviously have nothing to do with actually winning games.
And since you think I'm "stubborn" and can't look beneath the surface, I'll use some of your numbers to support my argument. You've said before that Brunell's horrible games have been the result of the rest of the offense playing poorly. That's an odd statement because you claim that since Brunell is ranked 10th based on DVOA, it proves that he's doing a good job, but Washington's rushing offense is ranked 9th based on DVOA. So if the rushing offense is ranked 9th, how does that hinder Brunell's performance?
The same website also has drive statistics, and in all on the times you've quoted DVOA, I've never seen you post drive statistics. Washington is ranked 16th in yards per drive, 23rd in points per drive, 22nd in TD's per drive, and tenth in punts per drive. But I'm sure there's an excuse as to why none of that has anything to do with Brunell...
