3)Therefore since both QBs are about the same in terms of age and type of QB(short passes/scrambling), Brunell is the better choice because he succeeded in a worst situation. Plus he knows our system better than Garcia does.

All I'm saying is this.

1. Brunell will be 37 next season coming off major surgery to his throwing shoulder.
2. Brunell played below average on a bad team in 06.
3. Brunell played 3/4 a good season in 05. Played terrible in the playoffs. I mean terrible!
4. Brunell played terrible in 04.

With all that being said, and looking at the big picture, doesn't anyone think that it's time to maybe bring in legit competition for the back-up job? Doesn't this makes sense???? We have seen three years of this Brunell project. Why didn't we try and upgrade the back-up QB job? One hit away and we are back to Brunell and the short passing game. He limits our offense and he limits Al Saunders ability to open up the playbook.
