The O-line can't be too happy about protecting a guy that can't make the throws to wide open recievers, brings blitzing defenses who don't respect the deep ball, and who make the running game difficult because the defenses are stacking the box.

Portis sure can't be happy with Brunell.

The Defense has to be livid with the offense.

Gibbs can't be satisfied with Brunell.

Trust me, Gibbs is doing a good job of putting on a smile, but the QB controversy isn't limited to the fans.

If that's true, which we have no idea if it is, my point is at least it's not being magnified in the media which does nothing but throws fuel on the fire.

Gibbs doesn't do his dirty laundry in public and the players respect that.

I too respect that Gibbs doesn't air his dirty laundry. But, at this point, denying that there is a QB controversy reminds me of a scene from "The Naked Gun" where Leslie Neilsen's character is standing in front of an exploding fireworks store saying "There's nothing to see here" while Chinese guys on fire are running out of the store.

So now Gibbs is a bumbling idiot who has no grasp of reality?

Maybe I'm missing your analogy.

I think what he is saying is, it's obvious that the QB position is a problem. It seems as if Gibbs is saying, 'Problem? What problem? There's no problem.' At some point, credentials aside, Gibbs may start to lose some credibility by refusing to admit that the situation continues to be a hinderance to the team. He can point to all other things (receivers not being open, OL not blocking, etc) but the bottom line is the QB has to make plays. He has to be a threat to the defense. When Wilbon has gone into EVERY opposing lockerroom and they have singled Brunell out as the reason the offense isn't moving the ball, when every analyst confirms that Brunell is done, at some point Gibbs needs to acknowledge the obvious that a change needs to be made.
