MB had a higher Yards Per attempt Average and More plays over than 20 yards( Ave per game) than JC.
I'm glad the switch to JC was made. Now we can move on to a new era. But, MB played better than JC. JC didn't throw downfield either, he dumped off to Cooley and still missed those throws!
Brunell is a class act and a Business man. He is not going to step away from gauranteed money. No one would. I don't want to hear people say he should restructor and retire. The team screwed up and signed him to a large contract. Mark did his part, Now the team has to live up to it. I'm tired of players holding out and I'm tired of fans expecting players to give back money when they can no longer play just because its right for the team.
Here is another potential problem: If we cut him, will we have to pay extra for an injury settlement? He was hurt in a game...
It's time to redirect the blame from Brunell to the front office.

I agree with you on the part about the front office,but i dont agree with you about brunell,he knew he was hurt the first yr and didnt say anything{or if he did thats just another screwup by the powers that be)and I think he knew something wasnt right with him this yr,playing with pain is one thing,but playing with pain to the detriment of the team is another
