What about Kurt Warner to back up Jason Campbell?

[skinsfan69]

I think bringing in Warner as a back-up would be a good move. Not sure what his contract situation is, or if he's willing to accept a back-up role. But I think he would be an upgrade over Brunell and Collins. He already knows the offense. I'm sure Gibbs wouldn't go for it since Kurt is a little loose with the ball. Comments?

He fumbles too much and I don't think he wants to be a backup.

i agree. and last year in preseason, collins got better and better. and already knows the system. and is cheap. and hopefully will not have to play a down

[LMsexyAO]

I think we should try to go one offseason without bringing in a brand new QB.. but pending Brunell's recovery I suppose this will need to be re-evaluated.. later..

I had thought about it, but I'd rather go younger

I think that it would be a good move. I can't think of a better way to make the transition to Saunders offense go smoother. With our o-line and running back situation, I think that a guy like Warner could thrive. Money is the real concern right now. Brunell makes way to much to be the backup, coming off major shoulder surgery. I love the guy, but I don't see keeping him as a good business decision.

Do we draft a guy with a late round pick and trust Collins as the backup or do we go after a guy like Warner believing that we are Superbowl bound again next year?

what are you talking about?? I dont hear Campbells name any where in this statement. JC is the man, will be the man. Warner is the answer as much as Brunell is. Our QB situation is just fine. If Brunell isn't there, Collins is just as serviceable as anyone we can sign off the street. Warner,, I almost fell down laughing.

I guess I thought it went without saying that Campbell is our #1 guy. I was specifically speaking about depth and who would I most like to see come off the bench if Campbell went down and we needed to win.

Other than Saunders, I don't know anyone who thought that Collins would be effective off the bench. Warner, with our running game, and his agressive passing, could work better than the Brunell experiment. My question is Warner at #2 or a rookie at #3?

Yea right, Warner has been like a deer in the headlights for over 4 years now. There is nothing He could bring to the team at this point. But why where at it Vinny Testaverde and Drew Bledsoe will be available this off-season. Why not sign them? I heard Dave Krieg wants to come out of retirement and play one more year maybe he could back up J.C. Because we all know Gibbs likes veteran QB's.

I don't think that "deer in the headlights" have two 1400 yard receivers. This is a very intriguing idea if he will sign for the minimum.

It’s not very intriguing to me. Every team the guy is on sucks! If you put any pressure on him he's just awful.

Assuming Brunell recovers from surgery and returns to his 2006 form, you might as well keep him here. Warner isn't an upgrade over a healthy Brunell.

Now if you want to upgrade at that slot, you don't want either guy here. Their days of glory are in the rear view mirror.

[wilsowilso]

Mr. Cerrato is that you? Should we shell out an eight million dollar signing bonus and trade our 5th and 6th round picks for him? I would think any washed up QB on the market would give Redskin fans the serious heebie jeebies.

Honestly, we don't even need Brunell...Collins can be the veteran backup. Typically your #3 QB should be an inexpensive young player. If Brunell is healthy enough and wants to restructure to be the #2 then fine, but no Kurt Warner's or other aging QB's are needed.

This is a comment that I am surprised I have not heard more of. This is the way we should go...we won't, but this is how we can set ourselves up for the future. We will end up keeping Brunell, and it's not that bad of an idea due to his knowledge of the Skins at this point, but he is one damn expensive backup. We can save money by cutting him, so I think if I was the GM, I'd cut him and draft a rough around the edges QB and let him sit on the bench for a couple seasons learning.
