Can We Bench Brunell Now

Moss does an excellent job after the catch, but dont crap on Brunell for consistently getting the ball to him in space.

If I remember correctly, Brunell hit Lloyd today for a 51 yard completion. So there goes that no deep ball arguement.

Season is done, eh? I didn't know it was January already. The reason you stay with Brunell is because he gives you the best chance to win. I know that. Joe Gibbs knows that. Al Saunders knows that. You play Campbell only when winning now takes a back seat to winning in the future. I don't think that point has been reached, and I hope no one else does. That would be a very closed minded, reactionary view of a poorly played game.

Although there is no comparision between Brunell and Palmer or McNabb, you are missing my point. What would you say to an Eagle fan who said that he would renounce his fanship if they didnt bench McNabb for such a horrible performance. I would probably start laughing at them. Which is what I would do now if the situation wasn't so dire here.

Which stat would you like?
David Carr, Donovan McNabb, Rex Grossman, and Phillip Rivers all have higher QB Ratings than Mark Brunell and all of them have worse weapons. The others with higher ratings? Bulger, the Mannings, and Brees.

How about TD's? Pretty similar list with more guys ahead: McNabb, Grossman, Brady, Leftwich, Favre, Carr, Alex Smith, Chad Pennington, Charlie Frye, Jon Kitna and even Damon Huard. Those are just the ones who I think have worse weapons.

He's even thrown as many pick as the "grossly overrated" (according to this board) Michael Vick. I don't wanna hear about the greatness of a guy who only throws deep when it looks the game has been lost.

I do agree that more of the blame should go to the defense, but you're not gonna convince me that making 1 play as the QB in the NFL is enough to win a football game.

Oh yeah, he's 12th in the league in yards and that's mostly cause of the wr's running after catch.

Also, these may not still be accurate because this was before these games have been added to the stats, but his rating will come down, he'll have 1 more TD and 1 more pick, so it won't really be much different otherwise.
