ok, and whats the benefit of letting Brunell start next week? whats the plan there, to run the table?

The message is the team is going to fight through until the season is officially out of reach.

That makes a lot of sense. We moved up to draft a kid in the first round but we need to show that we are going to fight by keeping the washed up injured bum in.

Do I need to break this down so you can understand?

LOL

the message to who? certainly not the fans, and i personally think the team is thinking the same thing as the fans....help, throw us a lifesaver.

LOL I'm sure you don't think that Campbell is a lifesaver.

The message to the team is to fight to the bitter end. The coaches will learn alot about these guys over the next few weeks and will probably go a long way in shaping the team next year.

Well we don't know do we? Why not? Because they keep suiting up the guy who has proven that he cannot get it done.

We know that Brunell cannot get the job done. Anyone who argues that he can needs to be in a padded cell.

So let's see if one of the other two can win before we ruin the 2007 season.

oh i know he isn't a lifesaver, he won't fix the defense. he may be able to score some more or keep them off the field a bit more, but he won't fix it.

JC still represents hope though, something the fans and the team have simply lost to this point. Everything JC would do, would be a step for the future. Brunell inspires nothing but frustration to everybody, and i don't know why the team would want to fight and risk injury on a lame duck quarterback who's helped put them in this position.

i noticed you only agreed to one of Tripp's paragraphs, what did you think about the rest? do you think we OWE Brunell a better departure than that?

you only agreed with one of his paragraphs. Tripp stated a slew of (non-statistical, but not untrue) reasons for Brunell's performance yesterday, and why, the Skins as a franchise, owe it to Brunell to start him next week.

as a notable Brunell defender in recent games, i wondered what you thought about us owing Brunell another start or had any reason for him to start next week really.
