Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)

He (like most QB's) have little chance when running all over the field to evade tacklers. He didn't cause a dozen penalties. He didn't fail to control, the Cowboys O in critical situations. To state that nobody respects Brunell is ridiculous, and the season is lost????? Come on, it's two games. Terrible start, but hardly a season. If you blame him for this.......situation, then it is only fair to praise him for his direction of the team to a 10-6 last year. Don't be confused that I advocate Brunell as a..........closet Montana. he is what we got until JC comes of age. As many have already stated, we don't need to make him a David Carr behind our NO-line. I, like the rest in Skins land am a pissed off SOB, but to make a foolish, emotional snap decision makes a potential losing season into a guarantee. We don't want to kill JC bringing him in now. Todd ain't it. WE don't want to do the Spurrier rotating QB either

huge credit to Brunell for last year, he stuck it through 2004, finally learned the offense (and his injury limitations) and got us into the playoffs with his smart decisions and on the fly thinking.

but for better or worse, it's a new year, and we have a new offense and coordinator. what do we gain by going through all the trouble of having Brunell master this system to the tune of last year?

a 37yr old QB and a young, talented and ultimately inexperienced QB on the sidelines who'll have to learn (ie. lose) this all again eventually.
