I say we keep Brunell. As a backup, he can stay healthy and can come in and win a game for us. Collins has no history of success.

Brunell is effient and knows the system. We CAN win with him as long as the defense plays somewhat good, not like in 2006. He'll be fresh instead of banged-up and we can rely on him for a few games if needed. If we have to start Collins, we're screwed.

Besides, if we're going to have a down-the-field attack with Campbell, bringing in a QB with a completely different playing style can throw a defense off their game plan and film study and could be a big benefit to us. He'll be dumping passes off to a healthy Portis and he CAN throw deep to Moss if needed. He's not as bad as we all said he was when we were clamoring for Campbell to get a shot.
