How Long For Brunell?

That includes going through his progression and his second target not always being the check down or dump off. We need more pass plays for completions in the seventeen to twenty one yard range, and not just passes to Moss all the time. We have other receivers, get them involved in the offense.

I would kill for an exact replica of last year's first game against Dallas. I thoroughly enjoyed stealing the game from jubilant Dallas fans at the last minute more so than I enjoyed watching our team pummel them. There's something to be said for stealing something at the last minute and watching smiles turn into tears.

The last quarter maybe but not the first three, and that's what I was refering too, the first three quarters, pitiful. Now if you would kill for those first three, maybe we should never win another game.

Obviously I wouldn't kill just for the first 3 quarters and, yeah, I knew that you were referring to those first 3 quarters as pitiful. But I want the entire game to be replayed. I really liked watching those jubiliant Cowboys fans sulk and cry when we took the game from them in the last few minutes. That was some funny stuff. Whenever I get pissed or upset, I just watch that game and see the expression on fans' faces after Moss scores the second TD. Hilarious stuff my friend.

Put him on a good team and he would look much better.

Good team or not, have you seen Favre lately and all of last season? THE QB throws the INT, not the reciever.... He's done, he should have retired last year.

I'd like to see Jason Campbell get in there, but at the same time appreciate the experience Mark Brunell brings to the team. You guys forget a couple of important factors in last night's game; if Moss holds on to the ball after getting rocked by Sharper in the end zone, this is not a subject we would be discussing. At least not this week. It was a great pass. Also, no interceptions; as opposed to three by Drew Bledsoe, one of which happened at crunch time in their game against the Jags.

Look, we did not run the ball well at all, and that really makes it harder to throw. That being said, Brunnell's lack of efficiency on third down was a killer. The one that really killed me was that play near the end on third down where he couldn't get the ball over the D lineman to Cooley. That forced a punt, which led to the Vikes final score. He's got to find a way to make that play. If he can't, the clamoring for Campbell is going to get louder and louder...

It's not enough to avoid losing the game. He's got to win it for us some of the time. I agree in general that it's way to early to make changes--this is a new and complex offense, after all. But he's gotta step up.

And we never will be able to run the ball throwing swing passes... and 5 yard passes ...thats was all game!!! ask yourself this??? how would u defend the redskins...i would shorten everything and bring a safety..... hell ya know they wont challenge us deep... i saw several interviews on tv where it was said the redskins need to open it up and take shots down field... Well until we do Portis will continue to get beat up.... If brunell doesnt have the 1st receiver open he throws it away immediately.... its pathetic... if he is afraid of contact...he should be a punter....

In Gibbs' 1st yr back it was often said that he tells brunell to get rid of the ball and not force it. The coaches know its a long season, and they probably are telling him to protect himself. I just wish he'd tuck it & go more often, he can still run well enough to get out of bounds w/ a few yards.

You're right. Throwing it away when there's no one within five yards of you doesn't help much. Run for a few yards then slide.

His ass should have should have been gone in 2004, last year was a fluke. We went to the playoffs in spite of him last not because of him. Damn you see his old ass legs go out of under him trying to run out of bounds monday. Gibbs for some unknown reason is willing to sink his reputation with this has been. I hope i'm wrong but i dont thinks so. He didnt do anything to lose but he sure as hell didnt do anything to help win the game just one scramble, that why i thought we had in there for was for his great mobility. Damn that arm look weak its really sad,but hey at least he can throw a screen pass or out of bounds.

Perfect

Brunell still has the arm, he showed it on the last drive. 2004 was the fluke

[CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR]

we will see i hope your right but i wouldnt bet on it. Listen were all skins fans but maybe i have stop drinking the Danny Coolaid, i have seen the real world

So for the people who believe Brunell's way past his prime (which in my opinion isn't too far from the truth), who would you all be interested in seeing at QB that you believe could finally carry the team to a Super Bowl or at least deep into the playoffs?

And for the folks who think Brunell is capable of helping to carry the team, whats stopping us from actually gelling together?
