Now we know why Brunell kept dinking and dunking

Well, I don't know if anyone has heard this at this point, but sportscenter said that Gibbs wants Brunell back for next season. You probably already heard this since I am usually the last one to hear about things, but I saw a comment or two about not wanting Brunell back.
I personally have no problem with bringing him back for the simple fact that he'd be a good backup. It's either Brunell or Collins...i'll take brunell

Well we have him for at least another 4-5 months. I guarantee he has already worked out a restructuring. Why not, no one else will give him any guaranteed money and they just put his shoulder back together. Chalk up another one for the front office!

We absolutely need him to...his cap numbers are too high right now.

this really pisses me off,Brunell was injured 2 yrs ago when we sucked so bad and kept it to himself and gibbs stuck with him 5 games past what anybody in their right mind would do,then the exact same thing happens 2 yrs later? fk brunell,I hope his frickin arm rots off or gibbs will pull jc after 1 half in the first game and stick brunell back in there,wait,I hope both his arms rot off because gibbs would probably still run him out there with one arm

I remember one of those Post articles saying that many in the organization viewed Brunell and Gibbs' relationship as an example of a coach getting to close to a player. I'm just waiting for Brunell to be introduced as QB coach after next season.

I'm tired of the brunell bashing.
He ran the team the way JG wanted him to. He did an OK job with the way the other 10 guys played.
MB had to deal with all the bullshit from Gibbs/Saunders, WR Corp, Crappy Line Play, and Defence getting blown out.

MB had a higher Yards Per attempt Average and More plays over than 20 yards( Ave per game) than JC.

I'm glad the switch to JC was made. Now we can move on to a new era. But, MB played better than JC. JC didn't throw downfield either, he dumped off to Cooley and still missed those throws!

Brunell is a class act and a Business man. He is not going to step away from gauranteed money. No one would. I don't want to hear people say he should restructor and retire. The team screwed up and signed him to a large contract. Mark did his part, Now the team has to live up to it. I'm tired of players holding out and I'm tired of fans expecting players to give back money when they can no longer play just because its right for the team.

Here is another potential problem: If we cut him, will we have to pay extra for an injury settlement? He was hurt in a game...

It's time to redirect the blame from Brunell to the front office.

I agree with you on the part about the front office,but i dont agree with you about brunell,he knew he was hurt the first yr and didnt say anything{or if he did thats just another screwup by the powers that be)and I think he knew something wasnt right with him this yr,playing with pain is one thing,but playing with pain to the detriment of the team is another

So who do you blame? I blame Brunell...he HAD to have known. I'd like to beleive that Gibbs and co did not know. If they did, I have lost a lot of respect for them. While I do blame Brunell, he is a competitor...I broke my ankle and played hockey on it that night. (scored 6 goals and 3 assists) But I wasn't my normal self. I didn't take myself out, and I didn't tell anyone. Why? Because I can't stand the thought of not being out there playing. If Brunell is anything like me, I can understand him not wanting to relinquish his post. So why did Gibbs and co. not look more into his performance?
Who is our QB coach...or do we even have one?

No they don't. NFL contracts aren't guaranteed. I am sure you know this, but I can't believe you are really advocating executing our salary cap and roster based on honor or whatever? Mark Shouldn't be expected to give back any money for the same reasons the Skins should have no compunction about cutting him loose. It's a business. Otherwise, maybe we should give Stephen Davis a little extra money.

It's time to redirect the blame from Brunell to the front office.For clarification: what blame are you speaking of? For the season on the whole or a specific event?
