Do you believe Brunell is effective? Or is it just that Coles, Garder, the line, Cooley, Portis and everyone else on offense is ineffective? You've said that the line hasn't done its job, Portis deserves to be benched, and the wideouts aren't getting open. BUT, Brunell isn't getting any of the blame.

Some other questions:

#1. Do you really think Portis should be benched?

#2. Do you really think our wideouts aren't getting open?

#3. Do you think our offensive line and blocking backs were much better last year?

#4. Do you think Brunell has been throwing well?

#5. Do you think Brunell is scaring D-backs with his ability to throw deep?

#6. Do you think a QB is capable of making a good offense look bad or vice-versa (i.e. Mike Vick and Chad Pennington)?

1.Yes, We scrapped our runningbacks for Portis. The real deal is he's doubting himself and the defense's can see it. Most backs get stronger and stronger in the late quarters but Portis is running and falling down with hardly any energy at all.
2.Yes. Look at the passes that were caught and you see 2 defenders on almost every play. Where are the receivers who have one on one coverage on them?
3.No. This line is much better. Injuries to Jansen and Jones has hurt us tremdously. Portis doesn't read the defense well and is thinking too much rather than reacting decisively.
4.Yes. Brunell has had 2 INTs in 5 games. His numbers against Dallas at 325 yds proves he can do it. He is a leader and takes responsibility for every loss we've had this year, when we all know he's not the reason completely.
5.Of course not. Put Portis isn't scaring anybody either. I'm starting to believe the Denver system made him what he was a back.
6.A QB makes an offense look bad when he is unable to run an effecient offense the opportunity comes to make a big play. Brunell made the big play in th first half. Vick and Pennington are QB with a future and younger legs. A veteran QB must be given maximum protection and that's not happening.
