I know it was his first time on an NFL field, but it looked like it was first time in any kind of competitive situation. I think ARE would make a better 3rd stringer for us than that.

Yeah, it was god awful now that I think about it. He sucked...but, I still hope he ends up being the third

I hope we keep Brunell. I'm fine with him being around in case Collins has to come in and he sucks. I like having two vets backing up JC. Brunell is fine as long as he doesn't have to play 4-5 games.

if it is true, i say good luck mark brunell. i don't really dislike him as a starter, he's done some good things as well as bad. the one thing mark did for us, and all loyal redskins fans, in 2005 on a monday night game. was throw not one but 2 daggers in the heart of Dallas. in less than 4 minutes and came away with a win. For that one shining moment, Mark Brunell will be considered a legend, by beating the cowpokes on monday night.. good luck mark may the road rise with u as u go

Redskins Notebook
Seahawks Inquire About Obtaining Brunell

By Jason La Canfora
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, August 31, 2007; Page E12

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Aug. 30 -- Many of the seminal moments in Mark Brunell's career -- and life -- took place in Jacksonville. It's also where the 15-year veteran became a Pro Bowler, where he received his final preseason opportunity to stake a claim to being the Washington Redskins' backup passer and, according to a broadcast report, where he played his final game for the team.

Brunell, fighting for the No. 2 quarterback job, was the subject of an inquiry by the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday, sources said, but no deal was completed after Washington's 31-14 loss to the Jaguars at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. The Redskins could still deal him with roster cuts looming Saturday -- Atlanta expressed some interest weeks ago -- although the market for the 36-year-old is not deep.

The Redskins dominate the first half with two touchdowns but fade in the second, allowing the Jaguars to score three times to win, 31-14. » Summary
Boswell: Take the measure of the team you've glimpsed this August, but the only question is: Do you still believe in Joe Gibbs?
Notebook: Mark Brunell, who is fighting for the No. 2 quarterback spot, is the subject of an inquiry by the Seattle Seahawks, sources say.
NOW THE GAMES COUNT
Jason Campbell was perfect in his one series against the Jaguars last night. A look at his preseason.

Thursday, Jason Campbell started and played just one series before Brunell jogged out before a crowd that used to cheer his name. He played the better part of two quarters and went 5 for 6 for 47 yards and a touchdown, with a nearly perfect rating, albeit against second-string opposition, giving Gibbs something to think about. Brunell, who remains beloved here for taking the Jaguars to the AFC championship game, spent Wednesday night catching up with old friends and had a legion of associates asking for tickets to the game.

"It feels great," Brunell said afterward. "I have a lot of great memories here. The people were very welcoming."

Sources close to Brunell said the veteran had been told nothing about a trade being completed, or even close, after the game. Collins has outplayed him this preseason, but the other option for a third quarterback -- rookie Jordan Palmer -- is nowhere close to being ready for the NFL and went 2 for 8 for 10 yards with an interception (returned for a touchdown) and a rating of 0.0 in more than a half of work.

What makes you think that? Maybe you should be a scout if you can tell from last night and maybe that scrimmage that he "will end [up] being pretty good?

Palmer looked like a QB who isn't super talented make his debut in the NFL.

I am going to give him a pass on this one because the first time out always sucks - especially for a QB.

That baptism by fire is sometimes what young QBs need to get their heads on straight.

Palmer is a guy in reality who was lucky to even be drafted.

I find it comical that some people are ready to cut the guy after his NFL debut.

Let's look at the reality of it. He was a low draft pick, he's very raw and this was no big secret when he was drafted. He definitely needs time to develop. I guarantee you the coaches are not in panic mode after seeing him play last night. They know what they've got in him, they've seen him up close and personal for months now. He's definitely a project and he was seen as this from day 1. I'm really not sure what people were expecting from him last night.

Can anyone tell me why Seattle needs a back-up? Didn't Wallace come in last year and play pretty well when Hasselback was hurt? Or does he want to change positions?
