Now it makes sense...

The D is horrendous at the cornerback spot. How about some complaining about Carlos Rodgers, without Springs he's useless. How about some complaing that the Defense can't get a turnover when it's handed to them in the breadbasket like Sunday afternoon when an interception was dropped.

I agree 100%. Seems as if everyone is looking for a single scapegoat, when there's blame to go all the way around on defense. The line has been horrible, the linebackers aren't performing up to par and even the linebacker coach admits this (see today's Post), and CBs are even worse than the line and LBs. Even ST, who seems to be viewed as a saint by many on this board, has made some glaring errors. It's not just AA and not just Carter - IT'S THE ENTIRE DEFENSE. It's easy to point the finger at one guy, because then you can fool yourself into thinking it's an easy fix. But, in doing so, you're just being self-delusional. The problems on "D" are much deeper than one player, unfortunately.

On the other hand, I think the problems on offense would improve greatly if one player were benched - that being Brunell.

JC stands for Jason Campbell, not Jesus Christ.

In case anyone thought we had a savior on the bench, we don't. We have a project (who I hope will be a great player one day).

And when will that "one day" ever come? Do we have to completely destroy this season before Campbell's day arrives? No, he's not a savior, but I do believe the offense won't be any worse with him behind center than it is with Brunell. In fact it will be better because, unlike Brunell, he has a strong arm and may actually be able to consistently complete passes downfield. Of course, as long as he's only allowed to hold a clipboard, we'll never know the answer to that question, will we? On the other hand, we already know the answer to the question - can Brunell lead us to the SB?

see, thats what people seem to forget. at least the brunell apologists do. does anyone really think wed take a step back? sure, campbell mgiht not manage the game as well as brunell, but what he lacks in experience, he sruely makes up for in raw athleticism.

Well said ... I completely agree with you on this point.
