Do you think Casey Bramlet has a chance to make #3 QB

so they picked him up because they saw talent and now he is very succesful in europe and people think he will be released. if they do that what the hell was the point in bringing him here in the first place.

Well, you could make that same point about using a 6th round pick on Jordan Palmer. If they didn't think he was capable of being the #3 QB, why bring him here in the first place?

It's about creating competition and spreading your eggs in different baskets. You sign a Bramlet, you draft a Palmer, and you let them fight it out with Todd Collins. There, you have two chances for a young QB to show some promise to unseat your cagey old vet, instead of just one chance.

Acquiring a guy does not necessarily mean you're committed to him. It means you're committing to getting a closer look at him to see what he can do. So it shouldn't be a foregone conclusion that Bramlet will make the roster at this point, for all we know (and all Gibbs knows) Jordan Palmer could look better in training camp.

That said, I do like what I've seen from Bramlet.
