Did they last year after his bad 2004 season?

I will admit I wanted to dump him in 2004, but he WAS battling injuries and wasn't himself. He proved that last season.

No. 1- Not for what he's getting paid. 2- He is in charge of one damn talented team, super bowl caliber if you ask me, so if he does turn it around, he needs to apologize to us for his poor performance, he's a seasoned vet. 3- No matter what, even if he does turn it around, he has one good year left in that aging body at best.

I just hope he is tutoring Campbell. Campbell will likely be our best hope for a super bowl.

I'll be the first in line. Trust me, I won't the least bit upset if Brunell turns his game around.

How about if the whole offense turns it around along with Brunell? That's what needs to happen, improvement across the board.

[12thMan]

I agree with eveyone needing to turn it around, Matty. But I think his lack luster performance has magnified all the other issues going on with the offense.

My opinion is it's the other way around.

It's the inevitable fate of the QB position to be in the spotlight, good or bad. I mean look at it this way, the offensive line is playing awful right now and everyone is saying Brunell totally sucks and it's pretty much all on him. Super Bowl XXII the offense line played amazingly, but it's all about look how great Doug Williams played, look how great he is. Well sure Brunell hasn't played well and Williams played great, but doesn't paint the whole picture

This is a good thread, cause as someone mentioned, Brunell may retire after this year. JC will be our guy, but we'll need more vet backup than Collins.
What about B. Volek? If he can keep his mouth shut, he's a good backup. Not sure if he's signed to a long deal in SD.

[12thMan]

Don't get me wrong, Brunell's play does not absolve the rest of the offense. Because I think they could playing better too. Mark's performance...even when he has decent protection, we're not moving the chains. That's all I'm saying.

All things being equal, I can't think of any plays, so far, that Brunell was the difference maker.

Okay, do you guys remember last year when Brunell got pressured and there were runninging lanes, more often than not he scrambled to get clutch first downs. Against the Vikings this year in a similiar situation, he almost ran out of gas before he got to the sideline.

Campbell is up to a 91 in my Madden franchise so don't worry, he's going to be great. If it happens in Madden it's gotta be true.

Now that's funny!

Oddly enough, in my madden, he got one of those stock plummeting monikers. The one when you were a first round pick and didn't live up to the expectations. So of course, I made myself a 19 year old 6' 8" 240 pound lefty QB with 99's across the board. Like looking into a mirror! (of course, I'm 31 5'10" in shoes, and acurately 235-240 pounds...but hey, I am a lefty!

You guys might actually remember me from a long time ago. I was here before we switched over to this server. After my daughter's death, I stopped visiting the site as much. Istopped doing alot of things, but always found comfort every Sunday in watching my beloved Skins. Been a fan for the last 27 seasons and counting.

Thanks.

I figured you of all people would remember me. You're pretty much the only one I remember from this site and was wondering how you were doing as well.
I'm doing fine. I still live in this hell hole called Carlsbad, New Mexico. I've been trying to get out for at least 4 years. Just can't find my wife a job at all.
I did change my career last year, I now manage a Chili's restaurant. Quite a change for a guy with an MBA in finance and working in the banks. I'm not sure I made the right choice. But that's what life is all about...taking chances and learning from mistakes. Due to my career choice, I can't be online a lot, but I do visit this site about once a day now. I missed the Redskins talk.
