Agreed, Brunell doesn't make those plays. You know, we can spin stats to say a lot of things. But one thing is for sure, the offensive line and the running game in particular has been transformed since Campbell has been in. I don't think it's a coincidence either.

As far as Brunell averaging one more yd per pass play than Campbell or whatever it is, again if we compare apples to apples I'm willing to bet it's a different story. In other words, if they both have the same number of attempts, I betcha Campbell's numbers look better. That's the only way to truly compare that number.

In his last four starts Brunell had 121 attempts. In his first four starts Campbell had 122 attempts

Well, that's why you do per attempt stats to standardize the numbers.

Obviously the more attempts you have, the more accurate the stats will be. But that doesnt favor one QB over the other. The truth is that you can quite easily compare apples to apples, and I have been this whole time.

Well, as I mentioned in an earlier post, Brunell's total attempts in his last 4 starts is almost exactly the same as Campbell's total in his first 4 (121 vs. 122)

It's certainly a good comparison.
