Brunell is a much better choice and gives us a chance to win the game.

Besides, Brunell isn't really the problem. He's not calling the plays or playing defense.
1) What better way to start JC's tenure than with a win against a hated rival?

2) What are you basing that on? It can't be anything you've seen this season.

3) No, he's not calling the plays but he's certainly fucking up the plays that are called.

i think once the season is officially shot, he'll get in there. he needs to. brunell is just too old. he's no john elway or dan marino.

Re: It's not Brunell's fault!

most of the time brunell looks like he has to go out on the field. not like he is enjoying himself or anything. I'm with saden, that stupid thumbs up thing brunell keeps doing gets on my nerves. save your energy and try to complete a pass of longer than 10 yards

Re: It's not Brunell's fault!

So with Brunell out these past couple of days recovering from injuries, Campbell has been working out with the first unit; and not Collins. The plot doth thicken

Re: It's not Brunell's fault!

the play calling is fine... Al saunders does call the big pass plays... brunell just can't even attempt to make those throws so he dumps it off short all the time.

put in jason campbell. cowboys put in tony romo... so let's do the same with our young qb.

Re: It's not Brunell's fault!

I have a question. I just read that Brunell is not doing well in Saunders system in terms of reading the defenses fast enough meaning he ends up dropping down to the short passes far to often. If we pull Brunell and put in Campbell is that same problem going to be resolved? I don't think putting a rookie in is going to fix this problem of not reading the defenses fast enough.

old dog new tricks vs new dog new tricks.

nobody expects campbell to come in and lob 14 TDs a game, and they'll have more patience with a rookie, because there's a lot more hope he can get better with experience. brunell looks for the rush, campbell doesn't. campbell is also very willing to throw deep... my guess is we'll see more ints, but 7-9 games experience to show problems and an offseason to correct them would be super nice for starting next year on a good note.

Is he really? How do we know? Just by some snaps during a few preseason games where the "playcalling was very vanilla?"

I just don't see where he's proven to be so willing to throw down the field.
