He is one of the last immobile QB's. Even Payton was throwing on the run all game long. I agree line play has a direct effect, along with the wr's. But the QB is effectively the captain of the ship. If a drunken first mate crashes into the reef and spills a million gallons of oil, they hang the captain out to dry. Joe Gibbs and Parcells already have rings, from many moons ago. But in this what have you done lately world, they have not. Brunell the Immobile will not make it through the season. If you want to see what a pocket passer does against a fierce pass rush look no furthur than the Panthers or the Raiders. Without adequate blocking even the best QB will not have adequate time to read. Especially if he is slow. At best, Brunell is slow. Too directly answer the question, No, they can't win with Brunell, and will miss the playoffs this season, so they are not going deep.
