How Long For Brunell?

[budw38]

It is possible that Loyd & Co. were not getting open ? I have been saying it all off season , if we can't , or are not willing to run the ball 30 times a game we are going to struggle . We don't have Brady or Manning and unless we pull off that trade , we better become and ground and pound team !

Yeah because Brady and Manning are the only QBs in the game that throw the ball well. Com'on Brunell is fully capable of a 3800-4000 yard season giving a little more confidence in his WRs and some decent protection. We don't have 3 of the fastest and most agile WRs in the league to be a ground and pound team. That's just ridiculous. I am glad you have said it "all off season" but lots of people say things and lots of them are not right.

My point is that only a few Qb,s are capable of winning games without a great running game . We need to run in order to set up play action . And I would point to our struggles in third and 4 Plus yds is not very good . I agree that he needs more time , and that will come with a strong running game . Very few teams can win a Championship throwing first . You may be correct saying that Brunell can pass for 4,000 yds , but we will not win if we throw it that much , He will get hit too many times and none of our Wr's are going to hold up if they are getiing hit that often , we do not have 210 lb Wr's. I don't want 3 yds and a cloud of dust , I just believe we HAVE to run in order to win , and I think we can .
