For all of you who are willing to give Gibbs/Brunell a chance, here's my thoughts: Starting with the 5 preseason games and going through 6 regular season games, Brunell simply hasn't gotten the job done. That's 11 games, for God's sake, nearly 3/4 of a season.
How much more time should we give him before making a change? Should Gibbs wait until the season's a complete washout or should he try and do something, anything, to fire up this offense? Me, I vote strongly for the latter.
I love Gibbs just as much as anybody, but he's turning a blind eye to what is obvious to everyone else. I think some of it has to do with his traditional committment to his players. But, in all honesty, I also think a lot of it is due to the fact that he, personally, pursued and got Brunell, to the tune of millions of bucks. And, he just can't admit that it was a mistake.
I wouldn't feel so strongly about replacing Brunell, if I saw even the slightest glimmer of improvement from week to week. But, if anything, things look worse now than they did weeks ago.
Hey Joe - Wake up and smell the coffee before we having no season left to salvage!
