Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)

I'll give him the first half, but I don't want to see him just exploiting the inept Texans defense. I want to see him make throws that, not even a great, but GOOD NFL QB should make. I want to see some deep throws with touch, see some rocket passes in coverage. While the Texans offense is coming together, their defense hardly qualifies as a college team, and the Redskins "should" have no problems beating them. For Brunell to regain my confidence, he'll need to do better than just manage the game and just play not to lose.

Sure, he can do that low-risk stuff against the Texans, but against bigger and better opponents, he's going to have to learn to make some plays himself.
