Mark Brunell has the best head of hair in all of football. Frankly, he should be promoted to the coaching staff to make sure the helmet doesn't ruin his line.

this has got to be one of the best posts ever. instant classic

You are right about that.

I don't know how he's kept it with all of the helmet-wearing. Most QBs are half-bald many years before Mark's age. He has a supernatural scalp.

Exhibit A:

Brunell will stick around in a backup role next year with a renegotiated contract. I think he actually likes it here. In addition, I remember an article where he says that he's appreciative for every year he plays now since he knows he's near the end of his career. While he feels he can start, I think he realizes that no team will give him that chance.
I also agree with the prior poster who said that he has always been a class act.

As far as favorites, Ramsey was the only male that I can think of who was "statuesque". Gibbs selected JC, and I would imagine with his play call on the Cooley TD, JC is at least a co-favorite of Gibbs now. Gibbs knows that, all things being equal, it is better to have JC in the game. I don't anticipate Gibbs pulling JC unless he starts putting up Vick-like passing numbers.

I won't criticize him from a team standpoint, he's been a team guy & been classy, but it's obvious that he's been padding his retirement too. His reluctance to stay in the pocket 1 second longer to make a throw, or to run (which he still can, just not as fast) shows to the league that he's either lost his judgement, or is not willing to take a hit. He plays not to lose, whether its his fault or Gibbs' coaching him that way.
I don't see him getting much other than a #2 job anywhere else. He could help us here as a backup, but the question is do we need he AND Collins?
I've said in other posts we really need to get a qb w/a late rnd. pick or undrafted free agent & groom them as a future backup. W/ 2 old backups, that isn't possible.

correction, we could keep a young qb on the practice squad. that would be ideal

he's not a starter in for any team in this league...

he can provide guidence and support, but as for getting the job done, week in, week out- no chance

[Redskinhog1963]

It would be hilarious if the Jets signed him and he beats Ramsey out for a job AGAIN.

Chad Pennington might be one good lick from making that happen, you never know.

Jets invested a high draft pick on a QB who has off the charts talent.

If Brunell retires are there any cap implications such as dead money to worry about?

it's the same as if he were cut... which would mean 2.3mill more in cap space next year (vs staying on the roster).

he's still a decent backup, but it's tempting to let him go and use the money elsewhere, since he's vastly overpaid (as a backup).
