Wow, they have to trim rosters already or what? He must have looked pretty bad in the scrimmage or Palmer looked pretty good. I haven't seen it, but it seems early to make that decision. hmmmmm...

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

we had 5 in camp...didn't have enough work for all of them. do it this early and he can hook on somewhere else. it was probably a "we'll go ahead and do this for you so you can get a better chance somewhere else."

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

Palmer looked good... but Collins is still the worst and should have been the first to go.

Yeah, that makes sense since we probably have our top three in Jason, Mark and Todd. Palmer will probably end up on the practice squad unless we decide to release Todd Collins between now and the beginning of the season.

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

If Bramlet was so good in the NFL "Zooropa," wouldn't he have been worth a little more time in camp?

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

I'm telling you Palmer needs to be on this roster. I bet we'll see a lot of playing time between him and Collins this preseason.

Is he that good? I don't know much about him. He doesn't have spectacular stats at the college level...Texas El Paso...good genes though.

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

he threw a nice ball in the scrimmage... Like I said in another post I would have loved to have seen Palmer and Bramlet battling for that third spot it would have been fun to watch.

He started all 36 games in his last three college seasons, throwing 81 touchdown passes.

That's a pretty spectacular stat! Reson he dropped in draft was his indecision in pocket and weak conference competition.

I'm not saying the kid is the next JC, but he had good pocket presence and delivered some really good thows with some touch.

Our other guys are 35ish each, time to go. Youth movement.

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

It sounds like a good decision. The Skins saw that Casey has a lot of potential but was not going to break into the line-up with the Skins anytime soon. This decision gives Casey the best chance to follow other opportunities that may be available to him. I think the decsion showed a lot of Class on the part of the Skins and a lot of respect for Casey B.

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

So which is it? He has good pocket presence like 12th says, or he is indecisive in the pocket like DGreen says? I'm confused. I have no problem with a youth movement, but have we seen enough of this guy to pick him over Bramlet already?

Always take 12th over DGreen, baby.

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

I would have much prefered a JC, Brunell, Bramlet depth chart with Palmer on the practice squad. Not to mention Collins' salary, which could be used in part to lure in Tank Johnson, my official wish list guy for the DL.

The reason he slipped to us in the draft and was rated the 10th best QB in the draft was because he was thought to be indecisive in the pocket. As far as I'm concerned after working with pro coaches for a few months he can start with a clean slate and we can see how he looks in preseason.

Crap...DGreen, I didn't know he was talking about you, I thought he was talking about the real D.Green. Didn 't mean to step on your toes.

I think you may have me confused with someone else.

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

to be truthful, i have never seen casey bramlet take a single snap in a preseason game, let alone a scrimmage. dont think we hurt the team by letting him go.

No, we've not seen enough but I'm sure the coaches have.

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

We needed to cut someone loose, 5 QBs is just too many to carry for very long. Good luck to him.

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

I am glad to see that they're keeping Jordan Palmer instead of Casey Bramlet. As for the people who want Todd Collins out of here I wouldn't count on it, because Al Saunders is in love with him for some reason, but he does provide veteren leadership, and he knows the system like the back of his hand, so keeping him can't be to bad as long as he doesn't see the field.

Honestly I would have like to see Bramlet get a fair shot. I went out to one of the practices and I'll tell you this much. Brunell CAN NOT throw with any zip what so ever. I mean if I can see it from the stands then I would like to know WTF the coaches are looking at.

Bramlet seems to throw a nice ball and is accurate but he just does not get very many reps in practice.

I agree, though Bramlet was a good story. I think Jordan can be real good. I got to watch him live at a couple of UTEP games and the guy can throw the ball! I think down the road we can get soem god value for him, as in a pick.

Yeah I wish he would have got some more reps in the scrimmage, but let's be honest we all knew that he was a long shot to make the roster, simply because the other QB's just brought more to the team. Obviously JC is the starter so there is one spot down, Gibbs really likes Brunell, and he is a capable backup, and Saunders loves Collins. So basically the last QB spot came down to Bramlet, and Palmer, and I think the coaches just saw more potential in Palmer then they did in Bramlet, and that's how they came to this decision. Don't worry I am sure Bramlet will get a look with another team, but I wouldn't expect to see him making any active rosters.

Well if you are correct then it sounds like some guys are making the team because of some bullshit politics. Very unfortunate.

Welcome to the NFL. All coaches have "their guys".

Bullshit or not that's life in the NFL and certainly nothing exclusive to the Redskins.

Bramlet was a longshot anyway. Playing in NFLE put him behind here and with 5 QBs on the roster someone was bound to get pinched.

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

Whether Casey has the talent to succeed in the NFL? Who knows, obviously Gibbs doesn't believe so, but this fascination with Brunell, and Collins is comical, neither one can play, and we now will be looking at Brunell as a backup next season as well, Palmer has a long way to go and will be a practice squad player, so we are not developing anyone to backup next season.

Collins is a joke of a QB, if you want his knowledge of the position, if he is that smart than make him a coach because he sure can't handle the field.

The love affair between Gibbs and Brunell continues, as if he's going to do anything significant if Campbell goes down, Gibbs is still hoping to drive a square peg threw a round hole some how with Brunell, this guy will be 45 years old before Gibbs sends him packing, it's amazing.

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

I don't see Brunell staying here past this season.

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

Wow I think this was a dumb move. Anyway is garcia starting anywhere?

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

I also believe this will be Brunells last year. And I hope they keep Palmer over Collins. Palmer is young and could develop into a decent back up. he has good mechanics, just needs some coaching as all young QB's do. Do I beleive he will be his brother, No. but he could be a decent back up.

I thought he was very good pick considering where we drafted him, I believe he has a lot of potential, but that is defiently a couple years down the road, I would like to see some one else behind Campbell who we are developing, move Brunell to 3rd string, but at this point we haven't prepaired for that which is why Brunell will probably still be on the roster next season as well.

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

If Gibbs is back next year I think he will want to keep Brunell around. but for some reason Brunell thinks he is still a starter, he does not want to be a back up. I could see him retiring if he does not get the oppurtunity to go to another team and start.

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

Where do y'all think Bramlet is headed? I'll go out on a limb and say Atlanta, lol.

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

I kind of wish they had cut Brunell, so I don't have to keep reading this BS ignorance about Gibbs and Brunell.

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

I dont know what is so ignorant about it? Gibbs likes Brunell, yes some people take it to far with a love affair thing but Gibbs does like Brunell.

Re: Report: Redskins Release Casey Bramlet
 

I am with the rest of you guys that see a Campbell, Brunell, and Palmer QB rotation. Let Collins go, and if Bramlett doesn't catch on somewhere else bring him back for the practice squad.
