Can Brunell lead this team to a super bowl?

I think Gibbs was able to win with Rypien and Doug Williams running the show, Brunell is good enough too. We need some upgrades to the supporting cast.

I think Gibbs coached teams try to dominate right from the start - if they're down in the 4th quarter, they're not "comeback-on-the-road" type of teams. No matter who the QB is. The MNF victory over Dallas was an exception.

I could be wrong, but it would be nice discussion material if anyone knows of Gibbs road record (regular season and playoffs) when trailing in at the start of the 4th quarter.

Well, it wasn't the 4th quarter, but I remember this one game against Denver where we came back from a 10-point deficit...

I think he can when healthy. Honestly if I could tell Brunell any single thing right now it would be that ....if he gets hurt in a game, its ok to take a week off and make sure everything is good before going back out onto the feild. I think the guy pushes himself too hard when hurt and this is where alot of the problems down the stretch came from.

Of course i believe Mark Brunell can lead us to a Super Bowl. He almost led us to one this year, but when he got hurt, everything went downhill.

I don't think Brunell can take us all the way, but if Gibbs keeps him in there then that's all I need to know. If Gibbs thinks he can well then he probably has it in him, but I just don't see it. If Ramsey leaves then it's still Brunell's team obviously.

Therein lies the dilemma, Mooby. If he gets nicked up, it clearly affects his ability to make all the throws, even if the injury is not relatively serious. For e.g., a healthy Brunell can throw very well on the run, but a nicked up Brunell throws a feeble, floating ball on the run. However, there is no way Gibbs will send in J. Campbell (or Ramsey if we have him next year) to start a game in place of a nicked up Brunell - especially if the game is near the end of the season or in the playoffs. Knowing that, do you still think Brunell can lead us to the SB?

Yes, Brunell absolutly can lead the Redskins to the Super Bowl. Brunell Clearly will need some help, as does any QB in the NFL. note look what happened to the best QB in the league yesterday...no blocking means no offense. If the Redskins go out and get a real #2 WR and possibly a #3 WR for depth. Get some depth on the O-Line so that if we lose a guy we are not starting a center at the guard possition, he clearly had little idea about his blocking assignments. We are set a RB, and we could use another TE. Then you've built a team that Brunell can and will lead to and win the Super Bowl.

I knew that. How about if he's trailing at the start of the 4th Q, as can happen often in playoffs?

I don't think so--he really drops off when injured, and he's not getting younger. I think he'll be a great backup/mentor to Campbell, though I suppose he'll need to restructure...
