Re: Give Props to Brunell
POINT is that Brunell is our QB and will remain so the remainder of the year, so why do we have to talk about this week in and week out. He's not going anywhere, and to those of us that like enjoying a WIN, it gets old listening to the same crap over and over and over again from the bashers.

I just think it seems to be a case of the bar was sooo low that an average (below average) NFL QB performance is praised "Amazing". Kinda like a dog that soils the kitchen floor as opposed to the carpet, its an improvement, but its not really good. Now imagine the dog is 38... call it what you want, but please don't pretend it was anything more than ok. 1 td and less than 200 yards. fine stats if you are trent dilfer with the ravens D and jamal lewis running for 100+ a game. but lets be reasonable. Re: sick of "bashers": without people willing to take the other side, this forum would be quite uneventful.

It wasn't an amazing performance. Al and Joe decided they were going to take more risks offensively. Brunell went out and executed. Just another day at the office.

i don't find it offensive at all...on the contrary, I was very pleased that he seemed to stretch the field in the first half, etc. very pleased. I would argue Mark Brunell set the bar so low with his performances throughout most of his tenure as a skin...objectively speaking his numbers here have been less than stellar- for a non project QB (as has his record).

This year his numbers have been stellar. People have made excuses for his numbers, usually fairly subjective reasoning, but then act like these excuses completely dismiss his numbers. Like the short easy passes explain the massive jump in completion %, but then seem to directly conflict the jump in yards per attempt. No one to date has been able to explain the jump in MB's yards per attempt because theres an assuption (an incorrect one) that he never throws deep.

I was feeling that same way in 2004 when Brunell was being called everything except what his mother named him. Sometime during that period I felt sort of out of place being only one of the few who supported him. Compare what was being said about him then, with what's being said about him now from basically the same people. I have come to the conclusion that for Brunell, his situation is going to go back and forth, week after week depending on whether the team wins or looses, It's just that simple. The fact we won ten games and made the playoffs last year with Brunell still dosen't make up for/or off-set some of the things that were said about the man, and "You heard it right here".

Re: Give Props to Brunell
RedskinRat,
You, as everyone else are free to state your opinion. This site would be boring if we all agreed and, so, your opinion brings something to the table. I, however, also reserve the right to say your post has no merit whatsoever. J/k

Re: Give Props to Brunell
add an option to this poll for 'Played His Best Game This Season' then. bet most everyone here would agree on THAT at least. some consensus here on Warpath.
and don't even bring up the dink/dunk fest that was Houston. that 'record breaking' performance gets you a win vs. Houston but not anybody else. not even Tennesee...

Re: Give Props to Brunell
We have lost five games. A good deal of the responsibility for those losses has to be put on the anemic performance at QB. The performance yesterday wasn't terrible, but it certainly wasn't strong. It was just good enough. It is not the kind of performance that is needed in order to avoid a losing season.

Re: Give Props to Brunell
yeah brunell was decent at best. most of the first quarter receptions came from pass interference calls. its hard to say as im boasting about the victory last night but the cowboys really did beat themselves. but guys i must say im proud of all of you. we did have a great win last night and not many of you are saying "oh were back in this race". we have a lot of work to do. and you all seem to get that.....sweet, i finally found a place where i can talk to real skins fans that arent totally crazy.....

Re: Give Props to Brunell
It was a great win but lets be serious about Brunell play he should have had aleast 3 to 4 interceptions. Brunell was very lucky that dallas couldnt catch those passes. As a veteran Brunell has to be smarter with the ball or it will come back and bite us. Its true that Cooley drop a perfect ball from Brunell, but Cooley saved his ass on that lob in the corner of the endzone, Brunell was late with that pass. In the first quarter when we were up 2-0 it was 3rd and 2 Brunell could have ran for the first down but instead threw the ball in the endzone lucky for us Henry drop the ball. Brunell has 191 yrds but 28 yard came on the last play of the first half on a dump off pass. Also in the second quarter when he threw the ball to Lloyd the ball was short Lloyd had to come back and get the ball because it was way undertrown. Brunell does not have the arm strengh to the ball downfield. One other point about Brunell the man has to start stepping up in the god d--n pocket so Samuels and Jansen arnt always hung out to dry. They are pushing the rushers up field but Brunell instead of stepping up in the pocket just keeps backing up and up. A great win love beating those fing cowgirls, but lets dont go overboard with Brunell he played a average game at best. Hail to the skins lets kick the eagles asses.

Re: Give Props to Brunell
If there was one game not to hate on Brunell, this most definitly was it.
He found his moss-less receiving corps when we needed it. He moved the ball and scored 22 points on a decent Dallas defense. QB is such a passionate subject for many... lets take a break for a week honestly. Campbell would have stepped in, gotten confused, and threw some costly INT's... and with the way our defense is playing... that would lose us the game. I know that's an assumption... but assuming a QB that's never played a snap in the NFL will throw picks isn't absurd by any means. Gibbs won't give up on the season just yet. We're 1 game out of a wild card spot, and this is usually the point in the season when the redskins show up to play. Take it easy folks.
