Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)

[BDBohnzie]

While watching the game last night, Brunell looks plain awful. He looks like a deer in the headlights, afraid to make a mistake, and afraid to go downfield. However, part of it has to be the playcalling. There were several plays before the 4th quarter where all Brunell had to do was step up in the pocket to throw, and held onto the ball way too long.

The OLine got beat by a very fast DLine and LBs, who were blitzing at will. Blocking schemes, when they worked, were ineffective because Brunell can't get the ball downfield.

However...neither Collins or Campbell are the answer. And the coaching staff knows this. Campbell needs more time learning the system, and Collins is no better than Brunell. A little confidence goes a long way, and if it can't be built facing the Texans, you can pretty much pack it up.
