New Poster Making People Mad

[MTK]

My simple point was we shouldn't discredit Brunell for getting the ball into the hands of his playmakers no matter how far the ball travels through the air.

I see it far too often around here. Brunell gets bashed to death when things go wrong, and when things go well it's a very reluctant praise from some people, if any at all.

People are ridiculously biased towards the guy and I don't get it. Isn't he a Redskin? Isn't he our QB? I'm not saying he doesn't have his faults or he should be beyond criticism but damn, I just don't get where all the animosity and bias towards him comes from.

well the problem last game was he couldn't get it in the hands of his playmakers enough. offensive line woes and the right defensive schemes attributed to all that, and those are based around his limits.

Brunell is a huge target simply because everyone knows his limits and know they're just getting bigger and bigger as each game rolls on. he's a QB in plain decline and doesn't represent the future of the franchise, so he's easy to scapegoat. he's 'in the way' of the hope that Jason Campbell represents, whose limitations aren't well known by everybody in the league already.

JC will obviously have his limits too, but in his case his youth at least allows for the potential to get better. Brunell on the other hand represents a dead end.

I'll be really curious to see how patient people are with Campbell.

The unknown is always very appealing simply because it's not yet tainted.

you said it.

but youth is such a powerful thing though, remember how much patience a lot of us had with Ramsey just because he was relatively young and had the 'potential' to overcome his problems. in contrast, we're just squeezing the very last drops out of Brunell and there's not a lot of hope represented in that.

they'd be more patient, because campbell can get better, while brunell can only get worse. plus there's a lot of case study on how the first 16 games or so for a QB can be thrown away as a learning curve.
