How Do YOU Define Franchise QB? And What Do You Think the Difference is Between 'Franchise' and 'Elite'?

#19

Quote:Brunell, pre knee injury in 1997 was not "QB purgatory". He was a legit franchise QB, IMO. 

 

but per usual, this franchise gets bad luck. Brunell became QB purgatory as he wasn't nearly the same dynamic player after said knee injury. 
 

Brunell was a franchise guy at that point, but he still wasn't elite. He just played out of his mind for two games in the '96 playoffs.

 

His TD numbers bear it out, too. He never threw for more than 20 TDs in his career, a truly piddling amount on a team with the level of talent that the Jaguars had. I know some people will think it was just because it was the times, but guys like Favre and Young were routinely hitting the mid 30's for TDs back then. A career high of 20 says it all about Brunell.
