I think Brunell's apparent slip on the stat sheet is primarily due to the fact that defenses have figured out that we don't have much of a receiving threat opposite Santana Moss, so if you double cover Santana Moss you're going to do a pretty good job against our passing game.

Brunell is a very smart QB, and when nothing is there he throws the ball away. He's finding less and less to throw to these days, so he's throwing it away a lot more. That's probably why we're seeing a dip in his completion percentage and yardage. But the key thing is he's still not throwing picks. 16 TD passes, 5 INTs.

If he can just control the fumbles, I won't have a single complaint about our QB.
