Can We Bench Brunell Now

[Mc2guy]

Brunell has average stats due ONLY to the fact that he has stellar playmakers catching the ball. Watching other games I am amazed at how well even average QBs are hitting receivers over the middle in stride, even against decent defenses. We don't see that because our QB can't do it.

It amazes me that there are some of you who just watched the same game that I did and don't look at your QB as a major source of problems. I'm dumfounded that there are still some of you defending Brunell. He is incapable of stretching the field vertically and defeneses know that...why do you think the Titans were able to key in on teh short passes and screens today? Because they knew they didn't have to worry about the deeper routes. Then, when down big and desparate, we tried to throw down the field, the results of which were self evident.

Why on god's green earth would we wait until next year to play Campbell. As I said last week, this season is done for us and the sooner to start making some pragmatic personnel decisions, the better this team can be in the future. Starting Campbell now means has two advantages. One, you find out if he has the IT factor necessary to be a pro QB and if he doesn't, well at least you know and you find out in a season that doesn't mean much. Second, finding out now means we can make smart decisions in Free Agency. If in fact it is determined that JC is not "The Man", for the future, why waste next year finding out? Waiting until next year to see if JC can play has NO BENEFIT to the team. If you can't see that, then you are blind to the reality that is slapping us all in the face.

He's been a liability from day one. Campbell, now!

The defense is the source of the problem. The blame is just going to Brunell because he threw the pick to end our chances of winning. Part of the blame is Brunell's fault for the way he played at the end of the game, but he wouldn't have been put in that situation if it wasn't for the defense. Once the Skins have been officially eliminated from playoff contention, I'm all for putting Campbell in and letting him take his lumps. Until then, we need Brunell.

i always thought brunell gave the skins the best chance at winning. i do not believe that anymore. and no, it wasnt all his fault. but if santana doesnt keep on making plays, brunell sucks, plain and simple

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Why are we looking for "the problem?" Isn't there more than just one problem? Brunell, the entire defense, the special teams, the coaches, the color white, and just about everything else worked together in a perfect storm to ruin today's game.

Brunell throws The best 5 yard pass in the History of the NFL

The way he played at the end of the game???????? WTF were you watching? He looked like crap aside from one long bomb to Lloyd. If your D gets no respite then they can't hold even a shitty offense like the Titans showed.

Brunell lacks what it takes to WIN, he's showed that despite the best efforts of those around him. Start Campbell, what the mood of the whole team change.

[CrazyCanuck]

The D ruined our season, not Brunell.

I still think Brunell gives us the best chance to win this year, but it looks like this year is over. May as well see what Campbell can do.

I think they'll give Brunell one last chance and see if we can pull off a miracle in Indy. If (when) we lose to Indy, they'll groom Campbell during the bye week and start him after that.

That'swhy they call you crazy.

do u remember how dominating the d was in the first pre-season game?

what the hell happened

[mheisig]

I'm all for benching Brunell simply to get a lot of ignorant people to shut the fuck up.

Maybe if we bench Brunell, put in JC and have the obvious results of having an inexperienced QB lead the team, people will recognize the slew of other problems facing us and realize that the QB position is the least of our worries. Worries like Travis Henry rushing for 178 yards, not picking off or pressuring a rookie QB with 3 starts, not giving CP more than 15 carries and blitzes so predictable a band of retarded puppies could defend them.

By Benched do you mean deported to Iraq? Well yes.

Brunell cycling through his reads like a fucking rookie.

What cycling? His head turns only 1nc from the snap!
I've lost my grip on the Brunell defending. Is there a better answer? At least we may see plz.

I still put this 1 on Defense though.
