Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation
 

I just heard him on the Dan Patrick show, he said he was talking to someone inside the Redskins organization and this person told him that they pray for Mark Brunell every night because the other two guys "can't play".

I'm not sure if this conversation he had with a Redskins insider took place during the preseason or was just recently, but either way it made me a little uneasy to hear it.

Re: Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation
 

I dunno. When I hear "someone inside the Redskins organization" I feel like someone is grasping for straws. It could be the waterboy, the trainer, an accountant, anybody. If he said, "A prominent figure inside the organization." or maybe an player that wishes to remain anonymous, I'd feel differently.

Not only that, someone WISHING for Mark Brunell? I don't know how much stock I take in that.

Re: Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation
 

I guess at this point it really doesn't matter. The good part is now we can see what we have in JC and if he's not the fix we have off season to find a new QB.

Re: Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation
 

sucks to hear that, but i'm a little worried about campbell, didn't look promising in the preseason, we'll see i guess.

Re: Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation
 

Ok, who was it? Was it you GTripp, or was it you Hess?

Re: Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation
 

Campbell was seriously running for his life behind that line this preseason. Sure, he was playing AGAINST third stringers, but if you have that kind of pressure, you're not going to do a whole lot as it is.

Enter - Doom and Gloom.

He said it was someone high up in the organization... maybe Vinny?

Re: Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation
 

Ah, why'd you have to tell me that?! :doh:

Regardless, I don't see how any SANE person could say they were praying for Brunell. Maybe it was the HEAD accountant.

Re: Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation
 

Well, if that's the case it's a good thing hes on the field so we can see how he is with live bullets.

Or maybe the other two are that bad, if that's the case we are in big trouble.

Re: Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation
 

What the HELL is going on over there at Redskin park! I'm blaming Snyder. It has to be him and his meddling ways!! He probably made everyone sign a contract saying they weren’t allowed to discuss his involvement in the team! Grrrrrrrrr!

That's what we are all afraid of.

well, I guess I'm insane like the rest of the Redskins then!! They were praying for him to improve so no one would have to take his spot!

Portis chose to go on IR. Maybe it was him that said this.....

... :benched:

Re: Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation
 

Some guys dont look good at practice but show up on gameday, hopefully he is one of them.

Re: Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation
 

we should have snyder hire a high priced sergean to take brunell's brain and insert it into campbell's head, then we would have the qb we are dreaming of.

Re: Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation
 

Well the current starters DID look good in practice and rarely showed up for game day.... so maybe you are righ!

Would you go out and find someone to compete with him in the offseason?

I wouldn't.

If Campbell is horrible is his first 3 starts there wont be a 4th.

Time to find out if that's the case and remember Collinsworth hates the Redskins and himself because deep down he knows that he is in love with Bob Costas.

[quote=irish;246655]If Campbell is horrible is his first 3 starts there wont be a 4th.[/quote]Why? If he loses his first 3 starts, who's going to start vs. Phili?

Randle El?

That'd be redick. Also impossible.

Re: Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation
 

First I've heard of this, but it sounds like hogwash to me. There's really no way to guage how a QB will play until you let him play. And the only person wishing for Brunell is the groundskeeper, who probably worked a lot of overtime replacing the divots from the balls MB bounced in the dirt in front of wide open receivers.

Re: Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation
 

One thing is for sure, it won't be long before we begin to find out whether he can play or not. It's rather hard to believe someone within the organization would make a statement like that about a young man about to make his first start in the NFL. Sounds more appropiate coming from some one who just want's to see him fail.

Who will start vs Philly? Thats easy, Brunell. Gibbs will give us some line of bull about Mark being rested and giving us the best chance to win. I have said it in other threads, we have not seen the last of Brunell.

Re: Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation
 

I dunno, I think it may be credible. First, most scouts said it would take Campbell 2 years to develop into a starter. Second, most of the comments I've heard about Campbell from other Redskins (save Randy Thomas) have been less than glowing. They haven't said anything bad, but they're not saying how he's going to be "great." Rabach said Campbell looks "decent." Every comment about Campbell seems to be, "he's a great athlete, it's just a question of whether he can handle to mental aspect of the game."

Nevertheless, I could care less what others think. I'll wait until I see him on the field.

If Campbell was horrid and we won three games to get to 6-6 (behind a resurgent defense...somehow), then maybe. Other then that exclusive scenario, or injury, we've seen the last of Brunell this season.

That's pretty much my take as well SGG. He's going to start the game for us on Sunday and we'll all be watching to draw our own conclusions. He'll have to prove to us through his play what they say about him is either right or wrong.

Re: Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation
 

collinsworth is a hater. we really don't know if he can play or not.

Re: Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation
 

Going back to Brunell at this point makes no sense at all. Especially once the team is officially eliminated.

Re: Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation
 

collinsworth is a worthless piece of pooo

Re: Collinsworth on Redskins QB situation
 

Who the hell cares about what Collinsworth has to say? His source is a big name? Pfffft!!! Chris may have had a dream about being a decent journalist and this scenario was still fresh in his mind when he woke up. He can't distinguish the difference between factual credibility and opinionated conjecture.

I'm not a fan of his, by the by.

no one really knows if the kid can play. not even insiders. he hasn't even played at all

Dink and dunks? No thank you. Even WHEN Brunell was in the midst of a winning streak, I didn't respect him a huge amount. We rode Portis's back into the playoffs last year and he made plays when he had to. It would be nice to be able to have a passing game to compliment the running game.

ANd you have to remember that as far as stats are concerned Brunell gets credit for all the yards that Santana/Cooley tore it up after catching a short screen.
