[quote=Crazyhorse1;333398]Brunell has no almost no value. He and Collins are two of the worse QB's in the NFL and are only around because of relationships within the organization. They're security blankets for a couple of guys we know.[/quote]

If we let Brunell go you all would be crying in your beer the first time JC got hurt....

And I say that the only team that would be remotely interested in him would be the Falcons and they have stated that Joey Harrington is their quarterback.

Re: What!!!? Brunell to the Falcons?
 

I feel quite comfortable with Brunell as the backup. He can't physically hold up for an entire season, but he definitely has from 0 to 3 games left in his arm and legs. Also, with him you can call any play you want so long as you remember to reverse sides with the boot action.

I agree, EARTH, it looks like Joey is the clear cut starter for the Falcons. I can see a possible trade after the season starts if Joey gets injured and the Falcons are actually winning.

Watch the game in Philly (or in Dallas or at New York or....) from last year and then I will give you a chance to re-do your post.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease! Aaron Brooks is a joke, you can file him away with Brunell, and Collins.

[QUOTE=hesscl34;333569]If we let Brunell go you all would be crying in your beer the first time JC got hurt....[/QUOTE]

Not because Brunell was let go, the reason people would start crying is because we have no experienced backup capable of really leading the team that we know of right now, yes people would start crying if Campbell get's hurt, but most would shoot themselves if either Brunell or Collins see the field again.

Re: What!!!? Brunell to the Falcons?
 

i say we hold on to brunell hes good insurance and seeing how well our late round picks have panned out these past few years (Robert McCune, anyone? which is probably what would be offered for him) thanks to our mastery in the front office it doesnt look like we would get anything back for him

Re: What!!!? Brunell to the Falcons?
 

[quote=offiss;333840]Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease! Aaron Brooks is a joke, you can file him away with Brunell, and Collins.[/quote]

He led teams to the playoffs and would be considered one of the best backups in the league (according to people who are paid to analyze the NFL).

Falcons are looking for insurance in the form an experienced backup. They are also cautious just case Joey bag of doughnuts continues to play like Jeff George. Yes, they hope Joey will work but he is unproven. Brunnell while on the down side of his career, gives you a proven NFL QB and an above average backup. That is what Atlanta is looking for...insurance. Not a an expensive starter, they still have Vick's huge cap number to deal with.

Re: What!!!? Brunell to the Falcons?
 

I say if ATL wants him,they can have him and good riddance,if JC goes down were screwed anyway cause MB sucks,isnt he coming off shoulder surgery? If MB's not here we dont have to worry about Gibbs pulling JC out of the 1st game at halftime and sticking in brunell,and if you dont think thats a possibility you havent been watching the same Gibbs that I've been watching with his major stiffy for MB,I think you people are forgetting WE WERE THE ONLY TEAM THAT WANTED HIM 3 FRICKIN YEARS AGO!!! overpaid for his sorry ass then because of Gibbs stiffy,please,please,Atlanta take him

You must be a bitter Ramsey fan...LOL...and Ramsey was pulled because he sucked balls. Evidenced by his inability to beat out a rookie with the Jets last year for the backup spot.
Brunnell while not great is the only Redskins QB that has helped us to the 2 round of the playoffs in 15 years. So he has not been a total waste.

The most important characteristic in a backup quarterback is their ability to step in seamlessly and still execute the offense. Typically the 2nd stringer comes in, and the rest of the offense is wary of him. Do you think our offense would be wary of Mark under center. You're crazy if you do. That being said, no one wants their 2nd stringer to see multiple games. So lets hope JC stays standing.

This thread sucks, because anyone that actually thought for a second we were going to make this move is delusional.

Re: What!!!? Brunell to the Falcons?
 

god i would give the falcons a draft pick to take him. So gibbs wont be tempted to use him again.

Honestly, if you are paid to evaluate them and you come to this conclusion, what good are you to your organization?

Anyway, needless to say, I think you just pulled this out of your ass. Aaron Brooks' rep around the league is not good.

Better QBs than Brunell are out there, but unless you want to go the Culpepper route, they are going to cost a lot more than we are paying Campbell.

He's not the best backup, but he's better than average. (thus the 15 or 16 better back ups)

Mark Brunell
Brad Johnson
Chris Simms

Brian Griese

Kurt Warner
Trent Dilfer
Brady Quinn
Charlie Batch
Kyle Boller (maybe)

Kellen Clemens
Craig Nall
Billy Volek
Billy Joe Tolliver
Billy Joel
Bill Nye the Science Guy
Jerry Porter (just ask him!)
The Saints' Waterboy
Aaron Carter (but not Quincy Carter)
and Patrick Ramsey

So no, I don't think Brooks is a top half backup. I don't really think he has any business left in this league, no matter what Pete Prisco says.

Brunell is a top 5 or 6 backup...Brooks shouldn't even be 3rd string.

For as much as I don't want Brunell as my starter, I like him as a backup.

Yeah, a turnover machine that the Raiders didn't even want and that doesn't know a page of our playbook would be a better backup than a guy who has started in our system and has played with the guys on the offense for a bunch of years.

Not that you had much credibility but Brunell was your first answer so I quit reading after that.

Midway through the season, Brunell could not run or throw the ball more than 8 yards down the field.

If you really think that Brunell is better than Aaron Brooks, you need to check into AA.

There are college lines better than the Raiders' from last year.

I would consider Brooks' seasons at New Orleans, not the Raiders. When an organization is that dysfunctional you ignore anything that happened there.
