I don't think it's fair to say someone who was one of the better passers in the NFC this year held back his team.

Yes and no, we started out with bad field position, but that turned around, our defense and special team handed him 3 turnovers, we were handed 3 TO's and still lost, that doesn't say much for brunell.

He was vastly outplayed by a kid in Simms, and big time Mike McMahon.

As a QB it's up to him to dig us out of bad field position, he wasen't able to do that.

And you put no blame on Portis? No blame on the OL? That doesn't make any sense! Portis can have a bad game or two and you offer no criticism?

No, they didn't give Brunell three turnovers, they gave are offense three turnovers.

And I'd bet money you wouldn't take Simms or McMahon over Brunell.

Your kidding with that statement right? Who runs the offense? So I guess when Brunell throws an INT it's not really him it's the offense, interseting way of looking at things you have there. I guess if you don't understand that the QB is going to get the credit and the blame for the up's and downs of an offense this is kind of a dead end discussion.


I will bet as much money as you can muster that I would take Simms over Brunell.

Yeah, it is a very interesting way seeing that 10 other guys line up with Brunell. You're right, it's a very interesting way to see that.

Perhaps this is a dead end discussion.
