Big difference between starting thread after thread of doom and gloom, and mentioning that Brunell threw for 325 and 2 TDs last year...he can get hot...and then replying with the same level of sarcasm when someone made a smart arse reply to that fact.
We have improved, but the facts still remain that Brunell can make plays
70 yards in 3 quarters of play, against a demonstrably worse defense than the Cowboys, suggests he can't...
A 5.0 yards per attempt average over his last 10 games suggests he can't...
Yeah, he put up some decent numbers in preseason-- against scrubs... not once did he get on the field against the other team's starters... and when he had to face a legitimate NFL defense last Sunday, he reverted to his form from last season...
IIRC, he had a pretty good preseason last year, too, which is why he opened the season as the Skins' starter...
I find it rather unlikely that he could put up 200 yards passing against the Cowboys' defense, and wouldn't be surprised if he put up less than 150...
I'm not saying the Skins have no chance in the game, I'm just saying I'm reasonably certain that Mark Brunell won't be the one who beats us...
