Assuming our defense plays better, I definitely think we could play well for 3-5 games with Brunell as our QB. Like my signature line says, run the ball, stop the run. Don't put Brunell in a position to lose games. Pound our backs, play effective D, and Brunell can throw around 20 times a game. Also, when Brunell really starts to slip is when he gets dinged up and worn down. In a back role he'll be fresh. I'm fine with him as a back up.
That being said, I wouldn't mind bringing in Rattay as 3rd. He has way more upside than Collins, but would have to learn a huge playbook. We'd have to give him the vet minimum for it to make me happy. At least Rattay has a bunch of recent regular season experience. Collins hasn't had any significant playing time in forever.
