You were talking about how great JC is, so it made me think of Brunell.

I guess. I never called JC great, I just said I thought he's been a bright spot.

It's better that we tear Dallas up, instead of each other like we've been doing lately?

Yes, deflect everything by saying someone else isn't a fan. Don't contradict the vaild argument. The fact is no one knew what JC and Romo were, they did know they weren't winning with Brunell or Bledsoe. What was the problem with pulling them?

Re: 5 Bright Spots for the Redskins This Year

The only bright spot I can think of has been the weather at the games...I have been to every game except last weeks and I have been able to wear shorts every time. Makes for a good day at the stadium.

As for the field...there is no way we have 5 bright spots from this season...Golston is a bright spot & Campbell has looked promising but no way I get up to 5.

Those guys have played pretty well but not well enough to excite me in the midst of a 4-8 season.

And that's all I'm really getting at, in the midst of a bad season...these guys have done a really good job - bright spots.

With Campbell it's more about what he represents than the actual numbers.

To be honest I am not that big a Betts fan(Not that I am looking to turn this into a Betts thread). I think he does okay when the blocking is real good but he's nothing special. He usually dosn't break tackles or make anyone miss. Whenever I see him get through a good hole I find myself thinking how much more Portis would have gained on the same play.

I agree on the others though...espoecially Frost...he has been a bright spot.

Re: 5 Bright Spots for the Redskins This Year

So bringing up brunell isn't beating a dead horse?

And I brought up dallas merely to show that you never really know what could happen by bringing in some fresh blood. Look at what the ravens did in 2000; they brought in dilfer because tony banks was struggling and they won the freakin super bowl.

NOTE: take one liners and pics with grains of salt. NOTE: not calling anyone bad fan!! - Reference my post - I said I think that benching Brunell was a mistake before all was lost, and I feel that way because of his experience and his ability to do the right thing in pressure situations. Playoff runs are pressure packed, so if there was even a shot at a playoff run then he should have stayed in until that shot was lost. Brunell was not playing so bad that he deserved to lose his job. Everyone just loves to blame the QB when we are losing. It wasn't Brunell, it was the Defense. This weekend the Blitz is going to kill JC. Brunell should play just so JC doesn't get his head taken off.

So if Brunell wasn't so bad, why did Joe bench him?
