Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)

[htownskinfan]

I dont want to read thru this entire thread,has anybody posted what was said in espn insider about brunell?
ESPN.com - INSIDER - Seth Wickersham Blog

No QB, not even Chris Simms, is under attack as much recently as Mark Brunell. He turned 36 on Sunday and received these types of birthday presents this week:
From The Washington Times: "As it was said of Stu Miller, Brunell has three speeds: slow, slower and slowest. In Brunell's case, that comes out to the dump-off pass, the underneath pass and the dink pass, none intended to spread the defense. On the rare occasion that Brunell tries to throw deep, the pass ends up packing all the velocity of a high, lazy punt. A defender sometimes finds himself circling under the ball, miffed only because the rules do not allow him to call a fair catch."

lets see what he does with clinton portis back in the lineup before we give him the hook. Bench Brunnell for who Todd "I dont start games for a reason" Collins or Jason " I have no experience" Campbell? Seems like a no brainer if we have aspirations of the playoffs. Mark Brunell is the only viable option. Lose a couple more and then yes I think Campbell needs to play.

Quick observation though...anyone besides me think Brunnell maybe injured? His play thus far is looking real similar to his first year here when he was injured and no one really knew about it.

That is no excuse & if he is injured he should sit his own ass down & let Campbell learn the new offense.

I've been a Skins fans since '82 & know when a guys had enough chances to succeed & fail & MB has earned a seat on the bench.

Houston is the perfect team to get Campbell in there w/o getting his head knocked off.

I agree what do we have to lose with the schedule we have coming up.Keep the faith!

Brunells 9-20 press conference is pretty funny...

He's a classy guy and some reporters are total a-holes.

Is that the one where they asked him how's it feel to be 36 and washed up?

Even though it was in jest you can understand MB being a bit grumpy. All the attention he's getting is ridiculous. Is he playing poorly? Yes. Is the entire offense playing poorly right now as well? Yes. So why is there no screams for the 10 other guys to be benched right now?

Joe Gibbs will defend Mark Brunell until his last breath, but I value his worth on who else around the league would want him. If Brunell was released by the Skins today or tomorrow, who would pick him up, even in a back-up role? As bad as the raiders need a QB I doubt they would take Brunell.

I say give Randel El a shot at QB!

[backrow]

Benching MB is way overdue! He definitely should not be the starter! He sucks so bad, he could substitute for a vacuum cleaner! His completion percentage is so low, there is a mud puddle forming over it! His TD ratio is abysmal! His supporters do not know anything about JC and are married to the guy who saved HOF Joe Gibbs life! Wait, that was last week..................

I was praying that he broke the record when it was getting close. All I could think about this thread, and the Ironic punch the the face Brunell gave all the haters.

You thought that was a "punch in the face" to the haters? His performance was well suited to the game plan, but that game plan isn't going to fly against any other team on our schedule. He still has a long way to go to prove that he can lead this team.

Punch in the face is an understatement...I call that performance A BITCH SLAP!

I have been a Brunell supporter in the past, but he is flat out not looking downfield! You can't tell me that Moss and Randel El as well as Lloyd are not getting open!
That being said, Brunell has had ample opportunity to learn this system, if he doesn't get it together vs Houston, we should sit Brunell and let Campbell learn for the rest of the season!

Take that a step farther...to avoid another Patrick Ramsey fiasco, if Campbell does not look decent by season's end, we need to get a GOOD free agent QB in the offseason.

you cant include preseason

Why? He was on the field against vanilla defenses. Either way -- he didnt throw many balls this preseason, still been a long damn time.
