First of all if we look career-wise it is not even a comparison. Otherwise the old Brunell vs Tavaris are quite similar. 04 was just a terrible year for Brunell's otherwise consistent performance. The numbers would be even higher if it weren't for that

Brunell
completion %:59.6
Tds:182
Ints: 106
tds/ints:1.72
rating: 84.2

Brunell as a Redskin:
completion %:56.6
Tds:38
Ints: 20
tds/ints:1.9
rating: 78.77

Jackson 07 and 08:
completion %: 58.65
Tds:18
Ints: 14
tds/ints:1.29
rating:83.1

Good Lord Brunell was bad w/ us. Considering how much of an upgrade JC has been (and the numbers can't relate the mobility factor) one might think the kid could catch a break.

he wasnt as bad as you think just one REALLY bad year in 04.

Brunell 04
comp %: 49.8
Tds:7
Ints:6
rating:63.9

Without this year, in 05 and 06 Brunell had around a 60 % completion and 85 % QB rating. Pretty darn good. SC is probably going to say it is unfair to take away that first year, but I did take away Tavaris' first year as a rookie.

If we include those numbers(which are terrible) Tavaris' numbers drop pretty quickly.
