But because it's Dallas, and because our backs are up against the wall, Brunell needs to continue to play at a high level, or they should make the switch mid game.

sigh i don't know how you keep saying Brunell has been playing at such a 'high' level. if he was, we wouldn't even be considering about talking about switching. you're a big fan of stats, here's a nice retort about stats from the WP:

"More delicate is the acknowledgment of both the coaching staff and players that, at least offensively, statistics can be misleading. The team is producing similar numbers, but not similar results, as last season. The coaches want to work more closely with Brunell, especially on his dropbacks on passing plays and his reading of defenses. While Brunell is a more accurate passer this year than a year ago, the coaching staff wants to emphasize to him that, in associate head coach Al Saunders's offense, decision-making must be immediate. Brunell's habit of dropping into the pocket, scanning the field and then patting the football has disrupted the timing of the offense, coaches say, and forced him to throw to a safety-valve receiver, most often a running back.

Last season after seven games, the running back tandem of Ladell Betts and Portis had combined for 20 receptions. This season, Betts and Portis have 38 catches."

that's almost double for you math types. this is behind the exact same offensive line as last year and perfectly illustrates Brunell's trouble with this new system. yes, maybe some of these were designed, but not double, is this what we brought Lloyd and Randle El here for? can't wait to hear how this is the defense's fault...
