I suspect that Brunell will be here throughout 2007.
Yep. I'm okay with that; I'm better with Brunell stepping right into a game if Campbell gets hurt, and not killing us.
I'm okay with Collins starting a game if he's had prep work that week, but not being thrown right into a game without much warm-up time.

If Brunell ever steps on the field again to play QB for the Redskins (shudder the thought!) Buges needs to grab him by the face mask and yell "Step up into the fraking pocket!"
The last couple of years and last year for sure, #8 had a BAD habbit of trying to do his Steve Austin impersonation (running really slow while thinking your running fast) by rolling out of a pocket instead of stepping up into a well protected pocket. I cheered the first time Campbell stepped up into the pocket and delivered the ball. Brunell cause countless sacks that were all his fault and the line got the blame!
Hopefully, we never have to see that sorry sight again!

Honestly, I don't think he can see when he steps up into the pocket. He's at least 6 inches shorter than most of his linemen.

Great point. I believe thats why he airs a lot of WR's out to dry. I've noticed his passes are usually high.
A short QB and midget WR's aren't a good mix.

That's why historically, Brunell throws to the outside more often than he does over the middle...
...unless, of course, his team is down by 13 points, and he needs two TDs to seal the win against a bitter rival.

Back and better than ever!

Say what you will about Brunell, he did give us that one great memory. I'll always remember him fondly for that long after the sour taste of '04 and '06 have been washed away sands of time.

So let me get this straight....you'll remember his two great passes in three years over what a weight he was to this team, dragging them down? To each his own I guess.JSPB22 wrote:REDEEMEDSKIN wrote:Chris Luva Luva wrote:JansenFan wrote:Honestly, I don't think he can see when he steps up into the pocket.

I'll always remember going to the playoffs ... why not? Brunell is hardly the scapegoat around which we should hang the team's recent failures. That isn't to say he was a boon last season but to remember him in a persistently negative light is to remember him incorrectly.
He is dead, right? I sure hope my eulogy wasn't early

When I think of our playoff run in '05 I think of Portis breaking the single season Skins rushing record and a dominating defense, not the play of MB04.

Amen!
And the first of those two passes in Big D was a bad through that Moss made a great play on it. The other one was the ONLY deep pass in three years thrown well by MB.

What one of the 100 wounded ducks #8 tosses left you with the impression that he has a good arm! Oh, yeah the one great pass in Big D. 1 out of 100, better odds than the lottery!

Honestly, did you stop watching the Skins after that Dallas game? Did you fall into a euphoria-induced coma for the rest of that season?
I clearly remember Mark tossing deep balls after that game. The dud was being considered for the Pro Bowl, and should have gone instead of "Big Bow Wow" aka Mike Vick.
To imply that he threw no more deep balls is either ignorant, stupid, or just plain moronic. Take your pick.*

*Mind you, his 04 and 06 seasons were certainly not praiseworthy, at least not for his performance on the field. I'll be the first to admit that.
Back and better than ever!

Honestly, I grow tired of rehashing this debate, it becomes "how I remember it" versus "how it actually was" and it gets old.

I'm with Fios. . .

You say that Darrell Green ran a 4.28 40-yard dash at his peak, but I did say "to each his own," right? You have your way of thinking, and I have mine. Who's to say which is right? I just happen to think that Darrell Green was slower than most players in the league, even at his prime. Frankly, I don't see any way of resolving it. . .
