BENCH Brunell/Theisman? MORE HISTORY!!

[Hogskin]

There have been a lot of calls for Brunell to sit. Maybe it is a good idea - I would sure not be against it if it happened at this point. But here is a little more HISTORY (from MY perspective LOL)

In 1985, after Theisman had had some very successful seasons under Joe Gibbs, he started playing terribly. He had NUMEROUS passes batted at the line - refused to get air under them. Had Numerous sort passes thrown into the ground. Gibbs stuck with him even though fans were clamoring for a change. We had a GREAT team but were 5-5 going into the Giants game. I actually made a bet with a Giants fan, that LT would knock Theisman out of the game, Schroeder would come in and win it and take us back to the playoffs. It became GRUESOMELY true (except our 10-6 still did not get a playoff spot). Because of that horrible sight on the field, I have never again made ANY kind of football bet.

But the point I meant to make and strayed from is this:

JOE GIBBS DOES NOT LIKE TO CHANGE HIS STARTING QB. So we all need to be patient.

I LOVE Joe Gibbs as a coach. Second only to Lombardi in my mind. But everyone has imperfections, and this may be his. Just be patient. He will find a way to bring this team around - in his own way.
