We know Hess, in fact, are there any men alive that you don't drool over?

MB is just too expensive to pay for a back-up, but the Skins have done crazier things.

WHAT??? Where did that come from?

... I'm quite content with one man, thanks.

... and MB of course... :cheeky-sm

He said he wants to be a starter again although I doubt more than one or two teams would even give him a shot to compete for the starting job. The man is a backup and quite honestly I hope he isn't here next year. He still thinks he should be a starter even though he has completely lost his mobility which was arguably his greatest weapon so now even though he is one dimensional and old and doesn't have a big arm he still believes he should be a starter and that means he is straight up delusional so I would like to see him leave.

If he is happy being a backup and taking a pay cut then he is more than welcome to stay.

You show me a person playing that does not think they should be a starter and will show you a total looser.

I would like for Mark to stay. His leadership abilities are still an asset to this team and I think he's a good influence and mentor for Jason. I am glad to see the passion he's displayed during games since he lost his position and the support he's given to Jason. I think he still has a heart for this team, but if he were to leave, I believe he would choose retirement.

You're correct his heart and leadership are great, but can we afford to pay him that hefty contract and sit on the sidelines for another year. That's what the Skins have to put on the table in the offseason.

Well it's like Mark said, "Football is a great game, but it's a horrible business."

I guess it will come down to choosing the lesser of two evils. I truly believe it will be more beneficial to keep him another year for Jason's sake. I would rather see Brunell as our backup than bringing in someone else to learn the system and Collins is simply a non factor in my opinion.

Brunell's been a good QB over the past couple of years. now he's just gotten too old to do much. JC's doing an awesome job, and im very excited to see what he'll do for us next season. I just don't see brunell starting next year as a possibility. I would however love for him to stay to give JC some advice that he needs. the problem of his contract is what worries me. if Gibbs makes the decision to extend his contract to keep him as a backup, i hope Snyder stays out of it and allows brunell to stay on. of course i think even snyder knows not to push Gibbs around.

Mark to his credit was having a decent year, statistically anyway. I agree his starting days as a #1 guy are behind him. With that said, he has been nothing but class since coming to this team, accepting what ever role he is asked to do. I wouldn't mind him as a backup. problem with that is, when or if Jason starts to struggle, is Coach Joe going to pull the string too quick to get his VET back on the field. Joe has no patience for young players that make mistakes.

I'm wondering what affect Brunell's return next year would have on the continued maturation process of Jason Campbell. Many times for a young QB knowing the coaches' favorite is still lurking in the background can cause uneasyness, feeling the slightest decline in play, he may be replaced. I wouldn't have a problem with Brunell's return if it could be worked out. I could be wrong, but my gut feeling is, it could be a distraction. I just think it's time for the team to move on " COMPLETELY".

Gibbs isn't stupid though. He's loyal to all his players. When Mark was the starter, he was loyal to him. He made the change, and he will be loyal to his new QB.

He has to be and he knows it. The Ramsey situation...that was an exception, but I think it had a lot to do with the Campbell selection in the 05 draft.

[Crat92]

He'll be straight for a back-up. I could see him coming in if needed,and playing well. For a short stint(6 quarters). Just as long as the team continues to be lead by JC, I would'nt have a problem with it at all.

You're absolutely correct! He's remained positive even when the cards were not in his favor. His sportsmanship is to be admired. I could see him following the path of Ray Brown (in some media spotlight).

I have always liked the midget and hopes he stays with us to mentor JC to his full potential
