Been a fan since '82

The difference is the age. As I posted, Brunell offers no long term solution to solidify the position. Gannon had troubles when he was young, and often times they work out. When someone gets to the end of their career and their talent and physical attributes begin to fail them, and they don't realize it, jerry rice for instance, and they can't let go, people still install faith in them and carry them through a couple of lousy years and call hindsight 20/20 when they don't produce and leave you scratching your head and smelling your finger.
