IMO, Brunell was a main part of why we crapped the bed in 2006. He sucked like the dickens. Our defense had fallen off that season, as well, but we still played close in most games. Our offense sucked so bad due to Brunell. I wanted to take a chance on Collins in the 2006 season because he knew the system. I didn't think he'd set the world on fire (although, he ended up having a heckuva ride during our 2007 playoff rally following the death of Sean Taylor), but I felt he couldn't be any worse than Brunell.
