It's not Brunell's inconsistency, it's Portis's inability to hold on to the ball that's the blame.

Brunell completed 43% of his passes for 155 total yards and 0 touchdowns. He didn't have a horrible day, but it wasn't his best. The blame goes far beyond Brunell. Portis, Jacobs, the D-line, and others share in the blame.
While Portis' fumbles really hurt us, Brunell hasn't been the best with ball security. Brunell has been very good about throwing the ball away when there is no one open and not throwing a lot of picks. But, Brunell has fumbled 6 times. While pass protection is sometimes to blame for his failure to protect the ball, there's no excuse for fumbling six times. Brunell, Portis, Cooley, et al need to work on not coughing up the ball.
