It's pretty easy to make the distinction actually. Warner was directly contributing to the Cards losing with his turnovers. Right now Brunell isn't doing much to help win a game, but he's not the ultimate reason for the offensive struggles, despite what the narrow minded pundits want to say.

I agree with that, MB isn't the only reason we're losing but he is one of the big reasons, along with a D that can't stop anybody.

You forgot about the nothing "special" teams!

This is precisely why we need to make a change now. You're either part of the problem or part of the solution, and we need production from the qb spot. The skill positions seem to be set, or at least we're locked in with our receivers and backs.

Brunell isn't the ultimate reason for the offensive struggles, but he's very high on a very short list. Cooley has disappeared, which may be why teams play so much Cover 2 on us. We've got no answers, other than a mobile qb who could keep some of these plays alive. Put me in the Campbell corner, he's going to play so why not today?
