Brunell Lost a step?

he looked okay. The interception was ugly. The good news is Brunnell does not have to be a superstart for us to win, he just needs to make a few plays and when the time is right he will make them. We had the same conversations last year, Brunnell does not have the arm strength, he is to old, does not have his legs, etc. He will be okay as long as he stays healthy.

I don't think he looked bad. He got us down the field in a nice drive (yes I know he had a pick) the rest will come as long as we can move the ball.

If we still have issues the next two games I will start to worry.

However folks, remember, Gibbs best seasons had some of the worst pre-seasons. I hope that remains the same.

I truley beleive Brunell and company will be ready week one I am not to worried. learning a new offense and all. we will be fine.

brunells reads were ok. his execution on the interception was lousy. his job this year is to manage the game with no turnovers and let that nasty a** defense we have win us a championship

Brunell is a washed-up, has-been. He looked terrible down the stretch last year and showed that same lack of arm strength last night.
We're going to be in for a long year if Portis doesn't get (stay) healthy because Brunell is not going to win us any games.
In his prime, MB was a pretty damn good QB. But he is maybe 50% of what he once was. Preseason or not, that interception last night was indicative of the kind of passes he made all 2004-5 season and down the stretch last year. Even his 4 completions had no zip on the ball. Arm strength, unfortunately, does not increase as the season goes on.

are you serious? He threw for over 3000 yards, 23 TD's and only 10 Int with a QB rating over 85%. those are no scrub stats there are teams that would have killed for stats like that from there QB last year.

He throws one bad INT and now he is washed up.

he's gonna be 36. i'm sure he's lost quite a few steps and more.

that said, he's still the only pro starter we currently have, and this year will be the transition year to Campbell. Collins will be no more than a playbook coach at this point.

this is crazy. The two or three balls that Brunell threw into the ground were suppose to be in the ground. No way could he complete the pass, so he did the right thing and threw it away. The INT, if you noticed, Brunell was trying to throw the ball high and out. If you watch the replay, Lloyd broke in, when Brunell thought he was breaking out. if Lloyd is there the ball is either caught or incomplete. No one knows who was wrong there. I think Brunell was putting the ball in a place where he thought Lloyd could catch it, or it was incomplete. The other balls he threw looked pretty good to me. good zip on the ones accross the middle to Moss, the one Lloyd made was a good ball where only he was going to catch it. If that ball is a little more towards the side line, the DB has a play on it. Stop putting so much in two series of plays. This offense is about rythym and that 1/2 a quarter isn't the deciding factor. Lets give the Brunell Bashing a rest for a few more weeks.

I don't care if he throws the ball with zip or not. As long as he is making completions and moving the chains it works for me. He is smart QB and he will not put us in bad situations with stupid throws. That's like saying Campbell should start because he has the stronger arm.
