Not really no. For at least most of the season, Mark Brunell had played quite well. He was clutch in 3rd down situations. Maybe if you have access to every game of this past season, you'll find that Brunell played pretty well up until the point where he had gotten injured.
and the point where both patten and thrash were out and guys like jimmy farris were lining up opposite moss
My feeling is there is enough support both talentwise and depthwise around him and he's got enough left in the tank, but it never hurts to have the young backup ready to go. I doubt we'll see much of Brunell at all this summer.

At age 35, Mark Brunell is one year younger than John Elway was when he won his first Super Bowl.
Just a thought.

master, i like your thinking
At age 35, Mark Brunell is one year younger than John Elway was when he won his first Super Bowl.
Just a thought.
And he's younger than Rich Gannon when he got the Raiders to the bowl

Time, time is the key now. MB is going to get tons of it. This is the lines 3rd year together, play action and the running game are going to keep offenses off balance, Mark will have another career year, 25 TD's 8 Ints, 3500 yards

Sorry, but I don't consider 50% completion percentage and 76.9 QB rating on third down's last year "phenomenal". By comparison, Drew Bledsoe and Michael Vick had better third down numbers than Mark Brunell last year.
And the exact comment I was calling a joke was the remark that "Every pass was amazing".

I think Mark is gonna be the best he has ever been this year last year protection was decent and I think it will be better this year. I agree this is his best year to get a ring and I think he knows that. We have great depth and even if he does go down Jason Campbell is gonna be awsome. Our best assest this year is gonna be the 3 and 4 wideout sets that are gonna set up portis for a 2000 yrd season. Hail to the skins baby the dynasty is comin back to D.C.

Guys! What more would you want form Mark Brunnell!? He was good in the clutch, made great long throws, crafty runs, managed games well, didn't make stupid mistakes often, and was overall a good player. Look at his stats last year and say to yourself "If I was told a Redskins quaterback would do this well this year, what would i think about this?"

The wealth of weapons we have will afford Brunell more time than he had last year - no one is sending the house and leaving (Portis, Moss, Randle El, Lloyd) uncovered.
I want Campbell ready for more than just age-related issues, though. Injury strikes old and young players without mercy.
I totally agree ,last year defenses could send the house, if they do that this year they will get burned. the best part of the article was Al Saunders take on Brunell.
“He can get the ball out of his hands extremely fast,” Saunders said. “He’s more accurate than I expected him to be ... .He’s adjusted to the offense quicker than I thought. He’s probably one of the guys I’m most excited about.”
“You can’t give him [anything] that he can’t handle,” Saunders said

I have a question. Is every posting that Southpaw makes totally
ridiculous? This guy would get on his knees for Ramsey.
