Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)

I am aware of the new offense and all that but we bring in 2 new recievers and we are only able to get the ball to them 2 times? Lloyd has 2 games under his belt and 1 catch. I think we start Campbell next game and see what happens. Could he be any worse?

I think I said the same thing almost verbatim in another post. Now is the time to start Campbell. Brunell's inability to get the job done has more to with his lack of ability than lack of grasping the playbook, in my opinion.

Why start Campbell against a strong defensive unit, when we can get him in there against a struggling Houston team. This is not the week to allow Brunell to get his footing, only to come back the following week to show nothing and start back at square one.

Our offensive line is better than they've showed, I believe that. The defense basically waits until third and whatever and pin their ears back and come after us. Betts up the middle, Betts on a screen, Betts on a checkdown was the sum total of our game plan last night.

Did we bring Al Saunders all the way here for, what, $2 million a year for that. No thanks!
