That Guy 02-03-2007, 12:59 AM well, old QBs CAN just lose it if they're scramblers that didn't have great arms to begin with (or couldn't make the transition to pocket passing), or if they become more injury prone and wear down easily (making it impossible to get through a full season).
brunell suffered from both a weak arm and a frail body... and the amazing ability to play craptasticly while injured (and refusing to sit).
JGisLordOfTheRings 02-03-2007, 01:06 AM Let 'em stay I say. We play em next year and unless our defense is in the same boat or worse(which I just don't see being possible at ALL), then Mr. Farve will probably make that Sunday a good one for us. Dont get me wrong, I like Brett Farve, but, his best years are past him and he's slipping into a Brunell like coma. Next year will probably be his last and worst. If he does ok next year, then the year after he's gone. Guaranteed. Too old and GB is probably tired of losing at this point.
ncskinsfanec 02-03-2007, 01:32 AM I have this thing about visiting historic stadiums all over the country. I DESPISE the Yankees and Red Sox, and both stadiums are on my list. Already been to Fenway, so Yankee Stadium is next on my list.
Sounds stupid I know, but if there's anything historical that I enjoy, it's sports history.
Don't know the details yet, but of course it'll be during football season. And of course, I'll be rocking my Skins gear anyway.
You must have a good job to do all that. Wish I could do the same.

There's no way the defense will be any worse. I think we'll crush the Packers and a few other teams next season. I think we'll wake up from the nightmare and get back to the sweet dreamin that 2005 brought us!

brunell suffered from both a weak arm and a frail body... and the amazing ability to play craptasticly while injured (and refusing to sit).Brunells scrambling was a big part of his game, true. But he was also a very efficient passer with a good but not world class arm in Jacksonville, and thats what he was for us these last two seasons.
He seemed so much more hesitant to scramble in 2006 then he was in 2005. Whether that was the offense or just something he decided to do himself, I can't tell.
I would argue that a pure scrambler who never developed a passing game never had a game to lose. Quarterbacks have to be able to complete passes, and for example a guy like Vick with a career % of 54 just isn't a passer, at least yet.

JGisLordOfTheRings 02-03-2007, 06:14 AM Yeah, I think we should win about 9 games, with the potential for 11 if things break right.
Hell YEAH! Lemme break it down
Dallas: 1-2 wins
Philly: 1 win
NY: 2 wins
Detroit: win
GB: win
Miami: win
NE: LOSS
TB: win
CHI: I wont dare to say until the SB is over!
Arizona: lol, to paraphrase the wise ODB "Nigga PLEASE!"
Vikes: Win
Jets: Loss, not sure why I think so but, they have been getting it together
Bills: I think we win but, that would depend on our D SLIGHTLY improving over last year. I would die if Lee Evans did to our secondary what he does to everyone elses: smokes em for 2 65yd+ TD plays a game. Losman sucks. J.P. stands for "Just Pathetic" lol
I think we should end up rather well next year abd if we do as we should, we are NFC East champs. But, it is WAYYYYYYY to early for this. Im just REALLY drunk and thinkin bout next year.
HTTR!
vaoutlaws2006 02-03-2007, 07:23 AM good for him. would have loved to have had him here for all of these years. definetly a future hall of fame inductee.
Luxorreb 02-03-2007, 07:29 AM Grossman is in the Super Bowl! Don't noone tell me Favre doesn't deserve his job! I'll take Favre in the Super Bowl any day over Grossman...

2 points for that one....I f-ing HATE Rex Grossman. I played ball in Highschool and lemme tell ya, I could prolly QB better than his retard ass. Ok, just for the record, Im pretty sure that in all actuality, I couldnt do what he does. Throwing 4-for-22 for 12 yds and 5 INT's is pretty hard work if you ask me!
