Mine hurt Brute! But I continued on, beating my Godson at B-ball at the time! It is still bent, 5 years later!

I agree Matty! Brunell was brought in to manage the clock! That he does when the rest of the team lines up straight! Makes the yards without fumbling! Catches the ball without dropping it! Shooting itself in the foot with penalties! It's not his fault HOF Coach Gibbs won't go to a quick count/quick snap! It's not his fault HOF Coach Gibbs is stuck on a 45 second clock, and is in a time warp right now! It is not his fault, HOF Coach Gibbs throws the red flag needlessly! It's not his fault the counter plays are designed more for a Riggo styled back and not a Portis styled!

What I don't like about Brunell is the same thing I didn't like when he was in JVille! He has limitations. His arm is not Ram's arm! His hammy hurts!
He checks down without waiting!

But most of all, as was pointed out in the PS, he is a lot slower setting up in the play than Ram! His delivery is slower! His velocity is less! He cannot make up for any mistakes! In a word, he doesn't deliver value for the investment, imho! To me, it is all about value for product or service. There isn't much of his service that I like! Didn't like the trade then! Don't like it now! And now, he is HOF Gibb's main squeeze! I agree, Ram just will not get in there unless there is an injury!

MB is not the reason for the 1-3 record or the sputtering O. If the finger has to be pointed at 1 player it has to be Portis. He has done as close to nothing as an RB can do. Sure we can make up reasons about the O line not blocking well or whatever but CP was brought here with a home run hitter rep that he has not lived up to. The O will never get on track until they can establish the running game to set up the pass. IMO CP is by far the biggest bust for the skins this year and maybe even the NFL.
