It's not Brunell's fault!

Why do people support this bum? Do you want him in anymore GTRIPP? Or do you want a fresh body?? Should we make a run at Quinn?

Follow my posts in the bigger Brunell threads. I've more than defended my position. Yes, I want him in because I want to beat the Dallas Cowboys. Not just beat them. Make a statement. I don't want to watch the Cowboys introduce Campbell to the NFL. I want to watch Tony Romo as our defense rises from the dead and starts beating the crap out of the Dallas OLine. I want our offense to take that momentum and put up 20+ points. Thats what I want to see!

*evil cackle*

Campbell's time can wait.

Because alot of us are smart enough to take a step back and look at the whole picture. While we all agree that Brunell isn't an MVP quarterback, he has played well enough to have won us more games than what we have. Secondly, if it is all on the QB, then why is it that teams are running and passing against us at will? Our tackling sucks.... how does putting in another QB fix our defense? If our defense played even half as good as it did last year, then this team would be battling for first place in the division right now.

what's better for 2007, a 37 year old brunell, or knowing whether campbell can play and possibly starting him with actual experience? this season is pretty much shot, and brunell isn't getting better, so a QB change is going to have to be made eventually. We either need to know campbell can't play, or we need to get him experience. and just because the defense is bad and brunell piles up garbage time stats doesn't mean he's not part of the problem.

People focus on the QB because it is the 'easy' fix. Easy in the sense that it is just one player, but can a profound effect, either good or bad on the team. The problems on defence are such that you cannot replace the entire D, we put in two rookie tackles, Tennesse runs wild, we put in a rookie tackle and a non-stareter at MLB, the defence is porous against the Colts. There are two many gaps and problems on the defence to make an single change that will improve performance. Most fans are hoping that with the bye the starters will be healthy, but I think we have greater problems, on defence where even having the starters all back is not going to fix it.

At some point it is going to be time to acknowledge that the team needs to be rebuilt. The franchise has played with fire in terms of secondary depth, especially at corner, this year it finally bit us. The team is in dire need of architect, in my own opinion the front seven needs an overhaul. Likewise we are going to have to develop depth on the offensive line. I find it peculiar that some of our O-line draft picks, like Molinaro, have not been able to break into the starting ranks. Most teams have depth, the Skins do not.
