sit him down

[CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR]

The reason you start someone else it cant get any worse. the offense has no threat of a down the field passing game because brunell has no arm strenght. That one reason we cant run is that the defense are stacking the line of scrimmage. they know that brunell will not stand and make the big throw if there pressure he will throw the ball out of bounds.Damn Joe gibbs ran ramsey out of town and he never played this bad like brunell has for most of his three long years here. he was great last season for about 7 games then he started to revert back to his 2004 form and that what if you honest is what we have seen this year.He make stupid rookie mistakes now with that lob pass that was intercepted when we were in field goal range. Like last year in tampa in the playoffs we had the lead late in the fourth quarter and he rolls to his left them throws the ball across his body and its intercepted instead of falling down and leting time roll off the clock.Listen i wish he played like a average qb but he cant do it anymore its time to stop covering his ass and call it like it is.He killing any chance we have. Damn i was afraid that he was going to break his record of 41 yards in tampa.he ended with about 170 but mostly that was crap yards after the game was over. Get rid of him please give a brother a chance.

Brunell won't be sitting down anytime soon according to Joe Bugel who was just talking to George Michael on NBC.

Exactly what I feared and predicted. We will continue down this tortuous path with a washed-up QB, until it really is too late to salvage the season. If this weren't so sad and frustrating, it would almost be funny. But, I'm surely not laughing. Would love to know what the other offensive players are thinking (especially the WRs) and what they say amongst themselves when the media, MB and the coaches aren't around.

You're right about that. There is no way they can have much confidence in him anymore. And as for the two new receivers; did they have any respect for him to begin with (since they started playing with him)?

LadyT, I don't usually agree with you but I think we're on the same page on this

Yeah, 12thMan!! Well there are a few of us females who do know just a little bit about football, despite what some on this site might think.

I got your back, LT

I hate to say it, but is Brunell losing his desire? I mean last year he was out to prove that 2004 was an anomaly compared to the rest of his career. And he went out there in the preseason determined not to be a backup to an average QB. Now, has he become complacent? I think he played poorly yesterday, but who didn't?

[gibbsisgod]

I thought I played pretty good.

There is always a need to find a scapegoat when things are going poorly. The starting quarterback is usually the number one target.

To me, we are having a very hard time as a team learning this offense. It isn't just the x's and o's, and how you implement them on the field, which is hard enough. It is also the attitude that is different as one Post writer mentioned - going from a smashmouth orientation to this, for lack of a better word, finesse approach of Saunders. Finesse may not be the right word at all, but clearly in any case the Redskins are far from comfortable working in this offense.

And it will take time to get there.

If there was any mistake, as Thomas Boswell suggested could be a possibility, it might be that we were overconfident that the players understood the offense in the preseason and the coaches didn't see fit to work on putting it into play in the preseason games. That might have cost us development time.

Mark Brunell showed what kind of quarterback he was last year when he wasn't injured. This stuff about him not playing well if he has the slightest pain is in my view nonsense. What Brunell did was not talk openly about the amount of pain he was in - much more than we had the information to know about and put into perspective.
