How Bad Is Brunell Really?

[dragontat7169]

I don't like Brunell but in all honesty I don't think he is that bad.

I think his confidence is suffering. And the fact he may still be a bit niched up. I think that his lack of confidence has caused his bad throws or early throw aways. He has lost the ball several times this season when sacked and he is probably thinking that it is better to throw the ball away early rather than take a sack that could result in a fumble and possible TD scored by the other team. Truthfully I can see why he is making these decisions. If I were a QB, I would much rather throw the ball away than try to force something and lose the ball. As far as him missing wide open receivers, the only thing I can think of is that he is "Thinking" entirely too much and not trusting his arm or instincts. Brunell does or did have a good arm and he is trying so hard NOT to make a mistake that he is second guessing his own abilities.

The question is how will he or if he can gain his confidence back. That is the real question. We have the talent all around him. He just needs to step up and play and stop second guessing himself.

But this is just my Opinion.
