I read something in a article and I'm going to try to find (it's from a couple of years ago) and it had a player or coach talking about Mark Brunnel's talents. They said that Mark was the most dangerous when he was running around and making throws on the run, they even said that Mark made throws on the run as well as most people did with their feet set.

I don't think Brunnel has really been running around in there as much as he has (or maybe even should be). I read an article in the Washington Post a while ago where Gibbs was kind of saying that he didn't want Brunnel running to much (to avoid mistakes), but he just wanted Brunnel to throw the ball away at the first signs of trouble. That is not Mark Brunnel! I don't know how fast Brunnel is (I would like to know his current 40 time), but I wonder if Brunnel still has the speed.

I saw Brunnel make some good throws this year, but his accuracy seems to be terrible, not being able to hit guys in the open field, and when he does hit them the WRs seem to drop them. My last note is passion, and I think that Chounsman hit this right on the dot. I don't see the passion in Brunnel when he steps onto the field and I think that'll kill even the best QB.
