Can We Bench Brunell Now

[mheisig]

I'm all for benching Brunell simply to get a lot of ignorant people to shut the fuck up.

Maybe if we bench Brunell, put in JC and have the obvious results of having an inexperienced QB lead the team, people will recognize the slew of other problems facing us and realize that the QB position is the least of our worries. Worries like Travis Henry rushing for 178 yards, not picking off or pressuring a rookie QB with 3 starts, not giving CP more than 15 carries and blitzes so predictable a band of retarded puppies could defend them.

Some of us calling for Brunell to be benched are well aware of "other" team issue that must be dealt with. I have no delusions that a Rookie QB will step in a win a bunch of games right away. What you fail to recognize is that Brunell is not getting the job done at his position and I would much rather see JC get the experience now while the "other" issues are dealt with concurrently. That way hopefully the team is ready to rock and roll next season and beyond. If not, well you learned that you don't have the future QB in JC and we can draft or sign appropriately in the off-season.

BTW, I'm not ignorant and I won't STFU...at least not until we get to see JC under center for better of for worse. Maybe you should consider limiting your comments to your own opinions instead of insulting people. FWIW, having a different opinion does not make people ignorant.

I would much rather see JC start and lose every damn game left than mb start and finish 4-12 or 5-11.Its time to start thinking about next year

brunell has no arm cant throw the deep ball to our wrs. the one good pass was to loyld. the offense is playing conservative because of brunells lack of arm. he has looked last year and the jax game because of moss. like i said if we lose next week it is time for JC.

I think it is reasonable to put cample in if we lose next week only becuase it will be a bye week and he can prepare, Im just afraid he will be another Patrick Ramsey

That is a legitamite fear and I can understand that. The fact is, no one knows because the kid hasn't touched a ball in an actual game yet. He could be the next coming of Joe Montana, but we'll simply never know until we decide to play him. I believe the team is better off finding out this year than in game 4 of next year.

If Gibbs decides to play Jason Campbell, they could lose because he might throw 4 or 5 picks a game ... but right now, they're losing with Brunell's 90.8 QB rating.

As for the defense, let's not forget that the two starting defensive tackles, Griffin and Salave'a were out.

Still think Golston and Montgomery were diamonds in the rough?

one deep ball in a game doenst show me brunell has the ability to make plays. maybe with JC we would focus more on the running game to help him out. i am not blaming any of the loses soley on brunell but we need to find out what this kid has.

Good points Mc2guy

I say let Campbell go in maybe after our sixth loss. Brunell is still our best bet to win games, which we would have won this one if the defense hadn't allowed Henry to run after first contact time and again. The Titans D definitely played better than expected. Their run D numbers are a little misleading since their opponents got early leads and, with Collins throwing INT's, were able to run the clock out. Brunell's last 3 and out series would have been so much different if the Titans safety hadn't layed out for the blocked pass. That was a great defensive play. Moss may have been able to turn it down the field for a score if not for that.

Holdman still sucks. I'm not even going to comment about the secondary. It's like having a birth defect: we just have to compensate for the impairment.

Bottom line: The coaches need to do some hard-nosed evaluations and recognize the problems.

I don't know if anyone else has said this or not, but if Campbell is ready, why did Collins get the call to warm up when Brunell got hurt? A few weeks ago Saunders said if the time came to make a switch, it would jump from Brunell to Campbell but yet that didn't seem to be the case. Could it be because they don't think he has enough of a grasp on the offense yet? Brunell struggled a couple times today and made some pretty damn nice looking passes at other times. The main reasons the team lost were in order: piss poor tackling, pathetic 10 yard cushions on the recievers, didn't give the ball to Portis enough, penalties on the defense, and then after all of those would be Brunell not taking advantage of a few opportunities. He is struggling right now, but strange things have happened in this league before and the team is not completely out of it yet. I really do want to see what Campbell can do but not before he's deemed ready and able to perform to the level the team needs him to.

They said if brunell was injuried in the game Collins would take over if Brunell could not start a game CJ would start.
