Retire 21 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 OK, I've been arguing with my friend who claims to be a "Redskins fan" about whether Mark Brunell was any good. He keeps arguing saying it was his WR's and it was in no way his fault we were bad. I don't think he even watched the game. As a die-hard I was calling for Brunell to go maybe a month before he finally got pulled. Even in 05 I thought he was horrible for the most part. I mean the only good thing he did was against the JAgs in 06 and that was all Moss anywyas. Brunell could barely throw the ball and when he did, he usually just threw it away. I was sooo happy when he was finally benched because he was what was wrong wiht our offense even in the 05 playoff run. We'd have won the SB that year if we even had Hasselback as our QB. As true Redskins fans, what are your thoughts on this issue? Edit: This kid also keeps saying the only reason Campbell has looked good is because he has pro bowl WRs and running backs. Now unless I'm crazy our rush attack hasn't been all that good and as seen yesterday our receivers have been giving campbell very little help.

monkforhall Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Brunnel was a great quarterback, but it was before he came to the Skins. Stand up guy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Shot Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 No, Brunell wasn't as bad as you thought he was. Not in the 2005 season, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Brunnel was a great quarterback, but it was before he came to the Skins. Stand up guy though. QFT. he was very good with jacksonville, before he turned 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retire 21 Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 No, Brunell wasn't as bad as you thought he was. Not in the 2005 season, at least. He was not good in 05. He was awful. He never moved the offense!!! With a competent QB we would've crushed Seattle without Alexander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had played awful, we wouldn't have made the playoffs. Your team needs at least average play from your quarterback to win games like that.

monkforhall Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Thank you for stating the obvious and doing everything but answer my question. whoa. IMO he was great with the Jags and terrible with us. He lost his arm strength and his mobility, not good for especially a short quarterback who has to find passing lanes. . I agree that we may have won the Superbowl without him. I'm so happy with Campbell, wish he had been in much earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retire 21 Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 For me as a fan, if I had to watch one more post game conference watchign Brunell talk about how he had to do things better after a horrible game, only to see him go out and be terrible the next week, I'd jump off a bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touchdown Redskins Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Rip your friend a new one. Pro Bowl WRs and RBs? If we did, Campbell would be getting Romo sits to pee-type love. Campbell is good because of his work ethic and his poise and his talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenegadeTK Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Brunell was a SOLID qb in jacksonville. once he got here, he was well past his prime. he was alright in 05, did enough to keep us from losing. hes always been a great guy and i feel he has contributed to the development of JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retire 21 Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 I agree, he helped us to not lose games in 05 a bit. In 06 he, as well ast he defense, were the reasons we lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpenn1 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Since brunell came to skins he he has sucked, does suck and will always suck. Other than that he has been great. Maybe you should find smarter friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallMeGreen Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 lol at stating the obvious and you starting this thread. this topic has been rehashed probably over 1000 times. This is certainly a blast from the past. And to see this following a game where Brunell didn't play to boot. Poor guy is grabbing pine and can't buy a break. But digging this subject up will certainly give Brandon Lloyd a week off the hotseat. :rolleyes:As long as BL doesn't open his mouth and say something about Troy Aikman...

Best Team Ever Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I don't think MB could start on my flag football team. Gibbs love affair with Brunell was depressing and wasted a couple of good defenses we had. That being said I'm glad we gave JC a year to learn before throwing him to the fire.

djotroy17 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Mark Brunell WAS a Great QB, top 10 in the league, maybe top 5 when he played for Jaxonville. When he came to us he was at the end of his career, I think he played good for us...he was not agressive at throwing the ball like he did in Jax...but he threw smart passes and didnt give the ball over much...it worked and resulted in alot of screen passes and shorter routes, but we put enough points on the board to win with the help of our D. Plus he was pretty good at finding ways to beat dallas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
