Brunell

#56fanatic · 10-06-2005, 08:24 AM

I believe Brunell is doing what we paid him all that money for. Smart football. not turning the ball over, giving our defense the chance to win field position. Thats what we are going to be and I believe Brunell understands that better than Ramsey. Brunell wont force bad throws, get out of bad plays at the line, even if its just a 1 or 2 yard gain. Lets face it Skins fans, this is who we are. We aren't the teams that put 30 pts a game back in Joes hayday. We are a defensive team with an offense that just needs to put 17 points up a game. If we put up 17 a game we can win maybe 12 games.

Best attitude to have! :headbange

Before we wander around any further and the topic of this thread being Brunell, I'm going to say this about the topic,and I'm out.

I have always thought Brunell was a much better QB than what he showed last year, and I'm happy he's meeting with at least moderate success so far this year. The one thing I truly admire about him is the fact he is a consumate professional. He took his demotion, kept his mouth shut, encouraged Ramsey, and did all the right things a true professional does under those same circumstances. It's nice to see that kind of attitude from him because I'm sure he really wanted to continue playing to right his efforts because things were not going good for him. For that I take my hat off to him and wish we had more players with that same type attitude.

If Brunell doesn't get injured and continues performing like he does, I could see him winning comeback player of the year. If he threw for 2 tds and 1 int every game, he'd end up having 30 tds, 15 ints, and 2900 yards. Even though that's highly unlikely to happen, it would be good enough for the skins to make the playoffs. I just hope he doesn't get injured too badly.

Wouldn't it be something if it came down to Brunell and Bledsoe? Those seem like two of the leading, if not the two leading, candidates so far this season

Ahhhh.....don't forget about that other #8 in Cleveland. Mr. Dilfer isn't doing too bad himself.

Boy couldn't the Ravens use him right now.

Mooby,

I think you're right - he's a strong candidate for comeback. I believe if finishes healthy with something close to those stats he'll win.

skinsguy · 10-08-2005, 12:24 PM

Well, I certainly believe if he is still playing pretty well by week 10, then I think definitely he would be a shoe-in for comeback player of the year!

skinsguy · 10-09-2005, 12:33 AM

I believe under the circumstances where Patrick got most of the work through the offseason AND preseason, it's to be expected for Brunell to not play extremely perfect. With that said, we're 3-0 with Brunell playing much better than what he did last year. That's about all that really matters.

saskin · 10-09-2005, 12:53 AM

I don't get what the big debate is.....Ramsey throws an interception and fumbles twice in one game and people want him out there. In three games Brunell (best I can remember) has barely even tied it. His ONE big mistake in the game and everyone's calling for his head. Yet when Ramsey ended three drives for us people wanted him to stay in. Brunell is our quarterback and he's winning games....to me, that's all that matters.

um, the debate was if that one specific pass was more portis's fault or more brunells, i don't see where ramsey was mentioned...

Maybe it wasn't this thread but people were saying Ramsey could've done better....

Luxorreb · 10-09-2005, 05:09 AM

Brunell looks confident, accurate and able to scramble and throw a long ball. And well he's 3-0. Sure Ramsey played a quarter, but doesn't really count. I swear that if Ramsey had played all 3 of those games instead of Brunell we're looking at best 1-2. Brunell rarely makes mistakes. Last week he was lucky to not have a pass intercepted, throwing it into a lineman. While the one he was picked on was one off of Ports attempted catch, which should have been the game. Thankfully it wasn't. Brunell is 3-0.
