Frankly, I hope Collins is the number two next year behind JC. Enough of this gushing over Brunell.

Dude...seriously, let it go. If you don't have anything nice to say about the guy, just don't post here or post your ill-tempered posts in the millions of "F-U Brunell" threads that can be found on every page of this forum.

Not to derail the thread too much, but it's funny how Brunell was benched less than 24 hours ago, and everyone has to "let it go" in reference to their negative feelings towards his performance. Yet, all the Brunell supporters STILL slam [backup Jets QB] on a regular basis. But yeah, let's handle Brunell like an injured puppy...

But I would like to give Brunell props for managing the team fairly well for 2/3's of the season last year. He does seem like a nice guy, and I've actually felt bad at times for slamming him, but that's to be expected when you're a starting quarterback in Washington.

Nobody attacks Ramsey out of the blue. He gets slammed when the Ramsey lovers try to get a pity party going for him.

I think though that most of us who felt Ramsey wasn't the answer never questioned the type of person he is. We've been fortunate that both Ramsey and Brunell have been class guys and Campbell appears to be the same way.

The QB issue hasn't been all that pretty the past few years but it could have been a lot uglier. That's a testament to the character of the players involved and the values instilled by Gibbs

First of all, I don't owe Brunell any nice comments, and I don't think my posts are ill-tempered. And don't tell me where to post either.

I guess you missed my previous post. Here you go in case you missed it:

Honestly, if you don't have anything positive to add to the conversation there are plenty of F you Brunell threads already going on. Let's keep this thread positive since that was the purpose of SGG posting it. Let's at least respect the intent of the thread.

So, Matty do you think my posts have been ill-tempered?

They are definitely on the negative side, so as I asked let's respect the intent of this thread and keep it positive. There are more than enough Brunell bashing threads already in existence.

Those that respect his efforts here would like to have an opportunity to voice that without someone pissing on the parade for once.

okay.

Age and injuries are hard to overcome - don't blame Brunell for this 3-6 start, blame Gibbs for waiting too long to make the change.

I'll choose to remember the positives of the Mark Brunell era, particularly the playoff drive last season. His clutch performances in BOTH Cowboys games, and his solid play before getting injured in the crucial Giants game last Christmas Eve demonstrated that he could still lead a team driving for the playoffs.

I'm glad that Campbell will get a chance to start more than 2-3 games this season. His body of work, particularly in December once his feet are wet, should help determine whether we're set at QB or whether we'll be looking for a veteran free agent come March.

I would like to thank Mark for being a man about things, he could have easily used a ski mask and a gun to rob 43 mil, and yet he didn't, he was up front about this larceny, and cap destruction, not to mention the amount of time spent waiting for you to actually compete, FOUGHT YOUR GUTS OUT? Maybe trying to cut in line at the bank to cash all those checks which I am sure you will continue to do, but that's where it ended. So long Mark don't let the door hit you in the A**.

Whenever I think of Mark Brunell it will always be the awesome games he has last year.

His two TD passes to Moss against Dallas.

His Scramble and then his pass down the middle to Moss against Seattle.

His 300 yard passing Game in Denver.

His 70 screen pass against Kansas City.

His near perfect passing game against the 49ers.

A convincing win over the Eagles.

Great play in the shootout with the Buccaneers.

Brunell and Cooley hooking up to smash the Cowboys 35-7.

Smacking the Giants after an embarassing 36-0 loss.

And the image of Brunell with his arm in the air walking into the locker room after a huge win against the Eagles will forever be burned in my mind.

He did magical things for this team last year, almost like the Brett Favre of old. But time moves on and Brunell can not physically keep up with the game any more, lets hope he remains as classy as he has always been.

Let's all have a MB farewell party. I almost have tears in my eyes. He sure has a lot of character and fight.

Is it really necessary to piss on the guy in a thread that's meant to appreciate him?

Seriously, why do you feel the need to be disrespectful? I'm not talking about disrespecting MB, I'm talking about disrespecting the people in this thread that would like to discuss the guy in a positive light.

Is is really so hard to just ignore a Brunell thread and keep your thoughts to yourself? Especially when someone has requested this?

Sorry. I didn't mean to be disrespectful.
