I think you can blame the Q.B. for at least 3 or 4 losses this year, maybe more. Granted, the O-Line was pretty weak and Derrius was a bust but still the Q.B. play sucked. A better Q.B. would have got us into the Playoffs, no question about it. Jays' inconsistant play has killed us too many times to allow him to continue as our starter. If Dan does one thing I hope it's to take care of this glaring weakness. Brunell looks good on paper, not sure what he has left, and maybe a fresh start helps him to rediscover his passion and confidance. It's vital to get a great young Q.B. in here for Brunell to groom. My first choice is Manning but there are other winners such as Rivers. If Brunell is the guy his blind side is protected by RIGHT tackle because he is a lefty so keeping Todd Wade may become very important. Is Dixon trying to come back? Hopefully someone can let me know. If not we need to put 25 pound of muscle on Wade Smith and start him at LT. I wish McKinney impressed me more but so far I don't see greatness. I see a good player but I don't see dominant Pro Bowl type guy. I would like nothing more than to be proven wrong this year. I think we need a couple of new guards in here, huge, nasty run blockers for Rickey to run behind. I guess the answer on Norv is get him a major upgrade in talent and see what he does with it. Nuff said.
