jdlea made the points i'd like to make
I actually saw the interview (forget if it was monday night live or george's shows...), he was asked "what does patrick need to do to start games right now?" or something fairly close... bugel basically said, that he has to do something special beyond just outplaying brunell (has to be definitive, even though he gets no reps etc), and without being asked he interrupted the interviewer (who thought he was done) and volunteered than brunell was playing awful.
