Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)

[Monkeydad]

QB is not the only key to us making the Super Bowl. We need to fix some things in most parts of our game and get our superstar RB in and running for TDs.

In the last 11 years:

Trent Dilfer won a SB.
Kurt Warner won a SB.
Jeff Hostettler won a SB.
Ben Roethlisberger won a SB by throwing 15 times a game.
Chris Chandler went to a SB.
Jake Delhomme went to a SB.
Kerry Collins went to a SB.
Stan Humphries went to a SB.
Neil O'Donnell went to a SB.

We don't need a Pro Bowl QB to go all the way. Heck, we've won with Mark Rypien and Doug Williams, who was the backup QB most of the year to Jay Shroeder.

Yes Brunell's game isn't where it needs to be, but we can say that about most of the roster right now. On offense, could it be the learning curve for the new system and will work its way out after a few weeks? MOST LIKELY! On defense, well they played good for 3 quarters against Dallas and considering Frost punted 8 times and the offense didn't keep the ball moving down the field consistently, we can probably attribute their 4th quarter problems to fatigue...and Springs being out.
