Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)

12thMan · 09-20-2006, 03:33 PM

I was just thinking, when was the last game Brunell actually tossed a TD pass. It had to be at least seven or eight games ago. None this year and none in the playoffs, right?

Yep pretty much..atleast it was just barely in this calendar year tho!! Jan, 1 2006. Brunell threw 1 TD pass (4yrds to Sellers) and had 128 passing yards........AWESOME!

What game was that? Tampa, Seattle?

ANOTHER FUN FACT...Brunell has not thrown for over 200 passing yards since Nov. 13th 2005......and that was just barely 226....and the last 300yrd game was Oct. 16th 2006.. 331............................................... .................................................. ..WHY?

Exactly. Brunell peaked in November and is done. The defense saved our butts late last year. Brunell is the perfect backup.

Well he also threw 5 TDs and 0 Ints against KC and Denver last year but we lost both games, so how many TDs he threw in a game doesn't always tell the whole story. If he throws 3 on Sunday and we lose 27-24 or if he throws none and we win 16-10, which would you rather have?

You are absolutely right...i really do not care if Portis comes back and he gets 20+ touches a game brunell gets like maybe 20 attempts throws for 150-180 yards....as long as either one of them get in the end zone!!!..

Im thinking we throw Portis in there give him like 20 carries maybe betts like 5 and duckett 5...then put campbell in and give him 15-20 attempts a game....cant hurt can it? kind of like what SD is doing...

That's a false option - you're focusing on the results of a single game, whereas they are talking about statistics that are most likely to lead to wins. I'll take the touchdowns, thank you, because, week in and week out, that gives us the best chance to win each week.

Woops i lied he threw for 242 against seattle....and had 1 td pass to MOSS that was Jan 14th. but still pretty big gap nov-jan without breaking 200 yards....now he has gone 8 games now without a td throw?? including preseason....

DaveyFoSho · 09-20-2006, 03:48 PM

but then again...we dont have Phillip Rivers....But we need portis back.....i think this would work with either Brunell or Campbell....SD has rushed 85 times and passed 47 completing 33 for 2 TD's...........

Daseal · 09-20-2006, 04:06 PM

Brunell has gone somewhere between 150-200 pass attempts since his last throwing TD (this includes preseason)

Pretty eye opening when you really think about it.
