The Official Thank You Mark Brunell Thread

[quote=Mattyk72;245846]They are definitely on the negative side, so as I asked let's respect the intent of this thread and keep it positive. There are more than enough Brunell bashing threads already in existence.[/quote

okay.

I thought you were busy studying?


At work right now.

Not to derail the thread too much, but it's funny how Brunell was benched less than 24 hours ago, and everyone has to "let it go" in reference to their negative feelings towards his performance. Yet, all the Brunell supporters STILL slam [backup Jets QB] on a regular basis. But yeah, let's handle Brunell like an injured puppy...

I think though that most of us who felt Ramsey wasn't the answer never questioned the type of person he is. We've been fortunate that both Ramsey and Brunell have been class guys and Campbell appears to be the same way.

The QB issue hasn't been all that pretty the past few years but it could have been a lot uglier. That's a testament to the character of the players involved and the values instilled by Gibbs

I agree South, but I'm done with it.

Thank you Brunell, I will miss the good times. You did bring life to the Skins, when all we had was "Happy Feet" Ramsey. I think Campbell(or atleast hope) has picked up some positives from you.

Thanks for bringing us to the playoffs, and leading us to a win. I could barely remember our win over the Lions ages ago, and I dont remember any of the glory days, so that meant alot to me.

Also am gonna miss you postgame pressers, I swear you looked like Fonzie.

Age and injuries are hard to overcome - don't blame Brunell for this 3-6 start, blame Gibbs for waiting too long to make the change.

I'll choose to remember the positives of the Mark Brunell era, particularly the playoff drive last season. His clutch performances in BOTH Cowboys games, and his solid play before getting injured in the crucial Giants game last Christmas Eve demonstrated that he could still lead a team driving for the playoffs.

I'm glad that Campbell will get a chance to start more than 2-3 games this season. His body of work, particularly in December once his feet are wet, should help determine whether we're set at QB or whether we'll be looking for a veteran free agent come March.

I appreciate the effort MB has made... but honestly, he hasn't given us anything that we couldn't have gotten from Ramsey or Campbell for alot less $.

One big difference between Ramsey and Campbell - Ramsey was a loser at every level HS, college, and Pro. Campbell has been a winner in both HS and college. As Lombardi once said, winning is a habit, and unfortunately, so is losing. For any Campbell bashers that point out his benefit of playing with Ronnie Brown and Cadillac Williams, I'll point out that nobody ever held Reggie Bush and Len Dale White as the reason for Matt Leinart's success in college. I believe Campbell will eventually be a BIG winner in the pros.

I used to be a believer in Brunell after last year, but the way this year went my belief went down the drain, until I couldn't wait to see Campbell either. But anyways, I just want to thank Mark for being one of the classiest people out there. He might not be much of a player anymore, but he had a hell of a career and I wish him all the best. This is the second time in three seasons he's been benched, and he has never complained, but took it in stride. He had a hell of a season last year too, leading us to the playoffs.

I would like to thank Mark for being a man about things, he could have easily used a ski mask and a gun to rob 43 mil, and yet he didn't, he was up front about this larceny, and cap destruction, not to mention the amount of time spent waiting for you to actually compete, FOUGHT YOUR GUTS OUT? Maybe trying to cut in line at the bank to cash all those checks which I am sure you will continue to do, but that's where it ended. So long Mark don't let the door hit you in the A**.
