Theismann made a great point during MNF.

i thought it was a good signing at the time, but then I saw Brunell play for us and I knew right away that he wasnt the guy...............couldnt believe it when gibbs brought him back after that 6-10 season. We've been through this all before when ramsey was his backup (and was better than brunell) any backup of brunell's is better than him.

I have to say Zim I am liking you more and more all the time!:biggthump

Signing Mark Brunell isn't like signing a Brett Farve or a Joe Montana, but to assume it was a "horrid" signing is blowing things well out of proportion. Mark hasn't been a bad QB. He hasn't been the playmaker we have all wanted, but he has played smart football overall. You always want to have a good veteran QB playing on the field in front of your younger QBs. When Campbell finally makes his debut, he will be a much better QB because of it.

Well all I can say is if the first pass he throws goes sailing out of bounds someone's gettin hurt!

Ramsey can't even beat out Clemens for the backup QB job with the Jets. He shouldn't even be in any discussion anymore

he's still better than brunell haha, or was at one point, but now his confidence is so shot. He had a better record than brunell with the skins at the time until he got benched after that injury.

Ok sure. I don't want to get into another Ramsey debate. Moving on

Another point, Brunell is soooooooo boring to watch, he doesnt ever make impressive plays. A guy that throws down field is more exciting, if we arent gonna win, i would at least like to have a couple things to cheer about each game, like a pass over 20 yeards, or an impressive QB scramble. It's the little things that make me happy on Sunday. We got nothing in the last couple weeks.

Brady uses the entire field, and his whole complement of receivers, backs and TEs. he had thrown to seven different guys in the first half. that alone makes our offense vastly different. whether in execution or philosophy.Brunell frequently hits 6 recievers in the first half too. I'm not sure what the criteria is for using the entire field (how you know he is other than observation), but I'm guessing Brady does it better because he is a top 3 QB in this league.

I don't think there is any debate between Brady and Brunell, but how does that make our offensive styles 'vastly different'?

we do run similar offenses, but brady makes the offense so much more effective with his deceptiveness, audibles, defensive reads, pocket mobility, quick release, and precise accuracy, all things we are lacking in our qb. With the saunders offense it is very important to hit receivers in stride enabling them to have productive YAC. By the time the skins receivers get the ball, it is too late and the defender is on them.

Malcom.... Execution means when teams line up 8 defenders around the line of scrimmage you don't continue to try and run the frickin ball! You call a frickin pass play over 5 yards and throw it! Troy Aikman made this point last week after Saunders called that played out screen pass with everyone lurking around the line. You have to call plays that back guys off of the line so you can run the ball. And I don't care if we have T. Brady or not. A frinkin NFL QB should be able to throw it 15-25 yards down the field! Watch the game very closely when the Skins are on offense this week. Watch how Dallas will crowd the line and dare the Skins to throw it.
