I love the guy...
...from the standpoint of giving all he has and being a leader and all the other things. I was as excited as anyone when I heard he was coming here. It's just, well, that other thing...Both Eagles games, the second Tampa game, both Seattle games, the Bears game, the Cardinal game, the first Dallas game...

How about that he just is scared to death of the pigskin? He can't throw a pass to save his life. It's almost like he's working undercover for the other team in every game.Larry Gude said:

I've never met someone worse than me about Mark 'Fifth Row' Brunnel.

That's all. He just can't pass. I cringe every time that ball leaves his hand. And since he rarely passes, I would venture to guess that 6 out of 10 are either intercepted or NEARLY intercepted by the other team.Larry Gude said:

AND since he does rarely pass successfully, we don't gain the yardage we should and could. :sigh:

I can't believe I'm saying this...
...his overall stats were above the average for all QB's last year, especially TD/interception ratio.
It's just, to me, his bad games were so...bad.

None of that mean anything to me. Mark did good in my books. Yeah he could have been better, but with Portis, Moss, & Cooley on the team it doesnt matter. They did great last year. I would want to see a team go to the playoffs because of the whole team and not just the QB.

...the whole team lose in the playoffs because of the quarterback.

Thanks for making my point for me. Portis, Moss and Cooley need the QB to be on his game in order to do their jobs.
Washington Redskins record in 2005-2006 (including postseason): 11-7
Mark Brunell's Passer Rating: 85.9
Mark Brunell's Completion Percentage: 58%
Mark Brunell's Number of Interceptions: 10 (2% interception percentage)
Number of Wide Receiver Threats on Redskins: 1 (Patten hurt, no one filled in)
Washington Redskins Total Offense Rank: 11 (330 yards per game)
Washington Redskins Third Down Percentage Rank: 7 (42%)
Additions this year: healthy Patten, intact offensive line, Brandon Lloyd, Antwaan Randle El
So why should we get rid of Mark Brunell, or hope for it, as Mr. Gude does? I mean, come on...we made the playoffs last year and won the first round on the road. We had a solid (not great) offense that did what Gibbs has always wanted for his offense. We don't need some young, unproven quarterback from a patsy college football conference and a complete disregard for situation, risk, and leadership to lead this team. We need someone who will gladly give the ball to Clinton Portis, throw 5-8 yard passes with the occasional bomb, and lead the team. We have that in Mark Brunell and with the new weapons in the wide receiver corps, we're only going to move up.

Dont forget that it was JUST those 3 players last year for the most part....
They will be better this year with the pick ups we have added to our roster...
Payten Manning wouldnt look so good if he didnt have the recieving core he had.... give him just a running back, 1 WR, and 1 TE/HB to deal with.... he couldnt of done it...He had 3 WR, 1 RB, a TE, and an HB, he had many options out there that are totally capable of keeping a Dfence honest to them all, not being able to zone in on just 2-3 guys...
That makes a BIG difference in the NFL, I think Brunni will have alot better year this year than he did last...

Do you know...
...what you are? You are a college student.
Do you know WHY you are college student? To get educated.
Do you know why you need an education? Because you don't KNOW anything.
Mark Brunnel is old, beyond his prime, pulls the tags off of mattresses, tells little kids there is no Santa Claus AND takes ALL the pennies from the penny bin at the 7/11.
He should have pulled himself from the last Eagles game when we HAD to win to get in. He was HORRIBLE against the Bucs in the playoff game. He was nearly as bad against Seatle after that. Season over after a great run of 5 straight wins to get in.
Using Pattens injury as an excuse doesn't wash because Mark had a bunch of good games without him and Randy Thomas got hurt against Dallas, leaving the Giants and Eagles, two teams we thoroughly outplayed, to go. Mark was horrible against the Giants throwing the short pick for a TD right into that kid Blackburns arms before spraining his knee.
Mark set league history records for offensive futility in a playoff game against Tampa.
The fact is that Mark is Gibbs' guy, was Gibbs' guy and will be Gibbs' guy, just like Thiesman was long after his prime. I accept that. It makes it THE call, playing him, not the RIGHT call.
There is no way Ramsey plays worse against the Eagles or the Bucs or Tampa for that matter.
I thought I was in the twighlight zone when Gibbs not only didn't pull Mark for three straight games because of his obvious limits due to the knee but even more so as Mark did the very things that supposedly got Ramey in the dog house; make bad plays.
