Can We Bench Brunell Now

Redskin · 10-15-2006, 08:51 PM

Once again morons come out and pin a whole game on one man's shoulders, I must apluad that. I mean portis did have a really great game didnt he? Sean Taylor and Washington did drop pics that would have prevented points, but kno your right Brunnel should have been there to pick those balls off and run for Portis. I really think Redskins fans maybe the stupidest fans in football, fanwise this might have been the worste home game ever.

The only reason JC should start is not to improve the team, becuase that he will certainly not do, buit to give him experiance and for that we are talking about mayb the last 4-6 games depending how were doing i mean honestly we made an amazing run last year why not again?

BTW: the same posts were cerculating last year and i and a few others said we still had a chance so stop predicting armegedon

Except last season we were 5-6 deep into the season, we are in a BIGGER hole in within the first 6 games. And most people agree with your asssesment of why JC should be in...

Im just an optimistic person I guess you will say but I personally feel it would still be early for Cambell, lets say the Colts game decides it becuase honestly i think we should think of our defense befor e our offense, who wouldent of been happy with 22 points last year?

Redskin,

I understand your frustration, I'm just as frustrated, angry, etc. But, do you really need to say everyone is an idiot?

BTW, I dont think anyone is saying everything is Brunell's fault. A lot of people are also complaining (with good cause) about our defense if you hadn't noticed.

JGisLordOfTheRings · 10-15-2006, 08:57 PM

Mark just cant get it done the way he needs to at this point and the D was extremely involved in that loss. Even if we won, I feel it would have been an ill gotten gain. We played like shit, and it shows.

If Campbell turns out to be 'not-that-good' then we're royally screwed. Just one thing: He's great, not just good.

Get Campbell in NOW to save this season.

RR,

I like your optimism and I pray that you are right. But what makes you so confident about JC? He might be great in the future, but I haven't seen anything to make me think he'd be better than Brunell, let alone great.

It will take at least a broken leg before Gibbs will yank markie mark. But he sure showed a quick hook last year with old patrick.....

And how is ol' Patrick doing this year? [/sarcasm]

Yep. I heard a local beat writer for the Skins once say that the only other quarterback Gibbs showed less patience for was Stan Humphries.

Not the Ramsey-Brunell thing again.....

I got ya, railcon. Funny how someone mentions the word 'Ramsey' and some people think it's the Warpath's version of Armageddon.

I still believe it's the pride thing with Gibbs. He wants everyone to be sure he was right about Brunell, and we were all wrong. For some stretches, Gibbs had decent forsight about him. But I think we've seen basically all there is to see.

What does he have to prove though? He and Brunell proved that MB wasn't done after 2004 and could help lead a team to the playoffs. And Campbell is also Gibbs' guy so it's not like it would hurt Gibbs' pride as it were to put Campbell in there.

Like I've said before, I think Campbell has the tools to be the best quarterback we've had maybe since Sonny. That doesn't mean he's the answer right now. I don't think it has hurt his progress though to sit him. And I don't think that all the blame should be pinned on Brunell. If you bench him, there a lot of other people that need to be benched.

That all said, there is an increasingly bigger part of me that wants Brunell to go to coach Gibbs and say "We both know this isn't all my fault. As the QB though it's the burden I have to bear. But I've had a great career. I have nothing to prove to anyone anymore. All that's missing is a Super Bowl ring, and that's slipping away. So put the kid in. Let's see if he can add a spark to this team."

You mean 'what does he have left to prove' ? Nothing. But maybe in Gibbs' mind he has to win it all with the guy he hand picked. Brunell might have been good for a team that was rebuilding, a very young team with lots of rookies struggling to find its identity. But that's not what the Redskins were. They were looking to find that final piece -- they were almost there. Brunell was not the QB to lead them anywhere.

I keep asking myself, are the receivers just not getting open? Do we not have an adequate running game? Is the O-line in shambles? The answers to these questions are all "no." So what's left?
