Mark Brunell booed

The fact that Brunell and Campbells % were so close (in yards / attempt) show that Brunell didn't throw downfield. Campbell didn't complete as many passes, yet have similar numbers???? If you have 2 attempts, one for 16 yards, and 1 incomplete, that's an everage of 8 per attempt. But if you complete 2 passes for 12 each, and the other incomplete, that averages out to 8 per attempt. Also, YAC counts. So if Brunell throws a screen to Moss and it goes 20 yards, he didn't throw the ball 20 yards, he threw it 1 yard and Moss did the rest. Campbell threw very few screens, Brunell lived off them.

You hit it. That's why it's so silly to compare their stats to begin with.
The stats will tell you what you want to hear or read. I never paid attention to those stats people would throw around saying Brunell's stats are better than Jason's.

Fact of the matter is, once Gibbs inserted Cambell teams respected the deep ball, and it spred the defense more. Ladell Betts was an indirect benefactor of Jason Campbell's ability to get the ball deep.

just because people boo doesn't mean someone is stupid, or any less of a fan. did you sit there and not critisize our team at all this year, that is what booing, letting you team know they are playing lousy. Now, booing brunell was a bit uncalled for, but hey we all pay $100's of dollars to go to the game to sit in the stands, fight traffic pay $7 bucks or so for a beer. if someone wants to boo, so be it. They pay those salaries, they dont really have a voice in any decision making processes at Redskin park, so that is the only way fans can be heard sometimes. Hey, I agree with one guy the D should have been booed the whole damn game! they suck@!
I agree I have paid literally thousands this year to see the Redskins with the gas, taking off work, tickets, parking.... Its' not like sitting in your easy chair at home watching the game. And I did boo so u can call me classless! I didnt start booing but once it started I joined in... When I saw him run on the field it was like a bad replay... I do like him but I wasnt ready for the same old shit i saw for the last 2 years... 5 yard passes and dinks and dunks.... And I would have really wanted to see what Collins could do. So yes we pay their salaries. But it was more the booing symbolized the disappointment with this year. This team is loaded with talent how the hell did we finish with this record. But I did feel bad about booing him. But It's like everything else in Life either shit or get off the pot!!! And while your calling people classless dont forget 65,000+ ??? Fans came out on a holiday to see our Redskins play on for a game that meant nothing but pride and we were loud.

Interesting. I kinda of suspected that the booing was as much about the failed season, and how, in some weird way Brunell was symbolic of that. Again, not blaming him for the struggles, but I think people were booing him out of frustration about the organization as a whole.

I'm willing to bet that many of those same people, if they saw Mark Brunell at let's say, Starbucks, would be very cordial and what have you toward him. It's something about a guy jogging out onto to a football field fully dressed in a uniform with a helmet on, that allow people to distance themselves from the person and the athlete.

Yes thats is so correct .

Booing Brunell just doesn't make any sense. He came in as a one-series backup - he did absolutely nothing to deserve the boos. Rationalize away, but it doesn't make the booing "OK".

Yeah, that's horrible. I mean Brunell lost his luster with me during this year, but that doesn't mean he deserved that treatment at home in what might be his last game ever as a Redskins or EVER for that matter.

Total Disgrace

I'm not justifying it all. Maybe it sounds like I am, but I'm not. It's not okay. The only thing I'm trying to point out is the motivation behind it. Why people did it, not whether it was right or wrong.

He's a convenient scapegoat. But all QBs on losing teams are, I'm sure Brunell has known that since he first decided to line up at center in pop warner. Unfortunately for Brunell, he didn't get the opposite feeling-being the convenient hero-when they were winning last year.

Damn right it's sad. Last year at this time we were heading into the playoffs and he was part of the reason why, and this year they boo the guy and he has sat half the season and we are 5-11? I was disgusted by our fans.....
