Why Brunell is Struggling

But I mean jeez, he's had all offseason and now seven games, and it's still not there.

Maybe if you put a shocking dog collar on Brunell and gave the control to Al, he could get the ball out more quickly?

I remember reading that Mark responded to Collins' comment that it would take a full year to learn Saunders' offense by saying something to the effect, "I'm 35 years old. I don't have a year to learn an offense." Well, it looks like he was right. I remember thinking then that his comment didn't really bolster any confidence in me as how he was going to approach or grasp the new offense.I doubt he really inspired any of his teammates either.

So, given this year learning curve. Why didn't we just trickle in the new 700 page playbook with Mark and keep what worked last year? While JC undertook the full Saunders beast. Also, why not JC in the first place? If it really takes a year, we need to get him in ASAP, so that year isn't another 2-14 year next year.
