Wednesday Morning QB Poll (Week 13)

BurgundyNGold · #1 12-07-2005, 08:21 AM

Week 13 saw our Redskins finally win a game on the road. While it was not always pretty, the victory was complete as the Redskins ground game rolled over the Rams in St. Louis, keeing the Redskins slim playoff hopes alive for another week. Mark Brunell had another solid if not spectacular performance, going 14/21 for 156 yards and 1 passing TD.

What's your opinion on the Redskins starting QB? Here's how it works: Every week you vote for either "Approve", "Disapprove" or "Undecided". Remember, this question is a general feeling question, so it's not necessarily a result of the previous week's effort. I will then chart the results and post them as part of the next weeks poll. The polls will stay open until Saturday PM.

Ready, set ... vote!

Here is how YOU have voted this season:

APPROVE!

frankez99 · #3 12-07-2005, 08:34 AM

Approve 100%. Only a veteran like Mark would have pushed that ball out of the endzone for a safety instead of trying to pick it up or fall on it; thus resulting in a safety instead of a td for the Rams...plus, I don't get angry 1 iota when he throws the ball out of bounds when there is nothing downfield...the other qb's on our roster can learn from that.

Approve, of course. It would be pretty difficult for a quarterback to play better in the second half against St. Louis than Brunell did. He threw eight passes. Completed all of them, one for a touchdown. What more do you want?

Uh, how about if he completed 9 passes for 2 TDs?

Throwing eight passes and completing nine would make him the greatest quarterback of all time. Actually, I think it would make him some sort of demigod. Hmmm. Demigod at quarterback. Good way to go.

I actually put Disapprove. My logic was just that the Rams are ranked so low against the pass, but our passing game didn't have a better day. I suppose a lot of this has to do with our progress on the ground, but it's been this way for a few weeks now. I'm thrilled we won and don't really care how we do it (pass or run), just my gut reaction to the thread.

SkinsASchamps · #8 12-07-2005, 09:23 AM

undecided. He improved and got himself out of disapprove for me but the win on sunday was due to running the ball and great D.

CNYSkinFan · #9 12-07-2005, 09:23 AM

gotta approve here. Brunell manages the game and outs us in a position to win each and everyweek.

Ibleedburgundy · #10 12-07-2005, 09:51 AM

With the way our running game was going we could have put Jeff George back there and still won the game by approximately 1 point. I still approve.

I personally can't criticise Brunell, simply because he did what was asked of him. He only threw the ball 21 times, so it would be hard to have a 300+ yard, 2TD day under those circumstances.

Just looking at the Rams game; I approve of the 66% pass completions, the 150+ yards of passing, the TD pass to Cooley, the 0 INTS, his 104.5 passer rating and the heads-up play to toss the ball through the endzone to twart a defensive touchdown.

For those interested:

Brunell is currently 3rd in the NFC in passer rating.
Brunell leads the NFL in fewest INTS thrown per Passing Attempt. (1.36% of attempts end in Interceptions, which is the lowest of his career)
Brunell is the first Redskin QB in well over 10+ years to connect on 70+% of his passes against the Eagles.
Despite the Redskins being 0-4 against AFC Teams, Brunell has not thrown a single INT in any of those four games.
Brunell has never thrown an INT while the Redskins held the lead.
Inside the Redzone, Brunell has completed 63.6% of his passes, with 11 TDs, 0 INTS and a crisp 114.1 passer rating.
Brunell has only thrown 1 INT on third down all season.
Brunell has only thrown 1 INT in the 2nd half all season.

Disapprove

He beat the Rams.

He fumbled again in a big spot.

That should end the debate. It won't, but it should.

That fumble was not due to him carry the ball out in the open, just fluke contact between him and Portis that knocked the ball out. Even though I chose disapprove too, it was not for that play. You have to give him props for taking the safety rather than letting the Rams recover for a TD -- would've been a completely different game if they get 7 then.
