if Brunell doesn't try, that means Moss, Lloyd, Randle El, and Cooley can't either. result: LOSS

- EDIT: ok, he TRIED to escape the sacks (like he used to be able to do) but he didn't try enough passes downfield regardless of risk towards the end of the game.

Do you really want him throwing the ball up for grabs? Because that's what it sounds like you're suggesting. If only beating a D was that easy and only required the QB to 'try' throwing deep.

If it's not there he rarely will force the issue, that's just how he plays the game. If the game comes down to needing Brunell to force throws, then it's really not the kind of game we're likely to win, and it's asking him to be something he's not.
