Brunell Back in 2007?

[12thMan]

Yes, another Brunell thread - so there!

I was wildly speculating on where Mark Brunell might end up in 2007 as either a viable number two or maybe, maybe challenge for a starting role somewhere.

1. San Francisco 49ers ( since the team is coming around, a vet with Brunell's resume might not be a bad idea while Smith continues to find his way)

2. Cleveland Browns (need I say more?)

3. New York Jets ( just kidding!)

4. Miami Dolphins (will they need both Harrington and Culpepper next year? One of the two may be gone)

The other teams that are serious long shots would be Oakland, Carolina, and finally the Eagles.

I know Brunell is one of Gibbs favorites, but I don't think he's a lock to return next year as the team may need to trim some fat.

i dont think anyone will take him as starter, and i dont know why he would leave just to be another backup unless he is cut here, which i also dont see happening

[Redskins_P]

I think he's retiring. Theres no way anyone in the league would sign him....even to be 3rd stringer.

I hope he remains our number 2. He's a vet and we could use him if JC gets hurt. He knows our team and our plays and Gibbs loves him. Can't beat that in a number 2.

I could easily see him in Atlanta. He'd be close to home (Jacksonville), and he could help Musgrave work with Vick.

[12thMan]

I could definitely see him playing elsewhere with no problem. Look around the league right now - heck the NFC. It's hard to find a hand full of QBs having solid seasons.

My point is, Brunell is more than serviceable and, honestly, I think he could could challenge for a starting role somewhere.

They have some work ahead of them. Vick is an incredible talent. Unfortunately, nobody can seem to tap into it consistently

Not to turn this into a Vick thread, but they and others have tried to turn him into a convential quarterback, he'll never be that. Arthur Blank has said, in no uncertain terms, look get this thing together now or heads will start to roll.

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.

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.

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

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.
