I'd feel as comfortable with Brunell coming off the bench as about any other backup given the situation. Just as long as Gibbs knows that no matter how good he plays that is exactly what he is.....a backup.He's undoubtably much better suited to be a backup right now than a starter. That said, there are a bunch of teams out there who would be better off starting Brunell than their current guy (I don't think we are one of them anymore).
Ironically, one of those teams may very well be Jacksonville.

i think brunell has been a great team player. he's been the starter and he's been the back up, he's restructured a few times to help the team have some cap relief and through everything i've never heard of him complaining at all. i would like to thank you, mark brunell, for always putting the team first.

We need a veteran backup. I'm happy with Brunell.

Brunell the starter = proven mediocre
Brunell the backup = perhaps fantastic?
Something tells me that MB's style of play at this point in his career would be very condusive, for the most, to being a quality backup. Usually a backup gets a trimmed down playbook and can take advantage of the lack of scouting on 'his' offense. Being that he thrives in the short game and can complete high percentages of passes and has a good feel for the game and mind too I think as a short term starter(ie: campbell has a minor injury keeping him out a game or two) he can be as effective as any QB we could have.
I am good as gold with MB as a backup. As a long term starter he'd struggle. As he has already.

I think this is the smartest post I've seen on the subject.
