Well, having Rattay would eliminate the absolute necessity for having Brunell around, but even still, Brunell's contract makes him idiotic for us to dump him now. He's probably the best backup option in the league, assuming that Garcia wins the starter role in Tampa. Teams like Minnesota, Atlanta, and Oakland would be much better off with a guy like Brunell in there. So this notion that he can't play is coming from some pretty spoiled fans, IMO. Admittedly, he's going to continue to be in ever so slight decline each year for the rest of his career, so we even restructured his deal to automatically void after this year. Brunell's future has already been decided.
