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

[KLHJ2]

Where would that leave Palmer?

[RMSkins]

I think there is a good chance that we will carry four QB's on the roster this year, so yes I do think there is a pretty good chance of Bramlet making it as a #3, or #4.

Practice squad, NFL-E next year.. Bramlett should be the #3 this year.. Collins was a safety blanket last year since he was the only one who knew the offense besides Saunders.

I hope by 2008 that both the young guys make the squad, so we have some big cannons as backups if JC goes down or somehow doesn't cut it.

He is currently leading there league in Passing Yards, Touchdown Passes & QB rating.

I think he has a real good shot at being our #3 QB. We all know the teams love for Mark, but a really think one of these two has a real good chance of getting cut. Keeping Palmer on the pratice squad.

No, and only because we invested a pick in Jordan Palmer. I think Palmer will make the roster.

Brunell and Campbell are becoming more familiar with Saunders' 700-page playbook, so Collins' role as playbook-translator is less important. Collins is old and getting older. So, while I think Collins has value, his value is diminishing.

Personally, I'd like to see Campbell develop into a solid starter with a firm hold on the #1 position, Brunell holding down the fort at #2, and either Bramlet or Palmer at #3. Third-string QBs rarely hit the field and I'd like to see if we could develop a young QB to replace Brunell in 2008 or, at the very least, develop into a mediocre backup.

If Bramlett or Palmer can't show enough to warrent the 3rd string position ahead of Collins I would really have to question thier ability to play in the NFL, Collins is horrible he has to be the odd man out. I really don't want to see Brunell come near the field this season, but I doubt Bramlett will show enough to position himself for the #2 spot behind Campbell leaving the #3 spot for Palmer, Palmer and Bramlett will have to battle it out for the 3rd string backup. It would be very nice to see both of those guy's show enough to make the final roster but that wont happen.

[firstdown]

With Bramletts numbers if he can keep improving he may at some point catch the eye of another team and have some trade value or stay and become our #2 guy next year after Brunell retires. I do not watch NFl Eur. but is he playing that good or does he just have that good of a team.

[Monkeydad]

I'd love to see Bramlet get a chance, but I think our draft pick Palmer will be the #3. Since we drafted him (and he DOES show promise), we should do what we can to develop him. We'll need a backup when Brunell retires.

Really, it won't make a difference if Bramlet, Palmer or Collins is #3. If we're down to our #3 QB, our season is already lost.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I don't think people are saying we'd want them to be playing. I think people are saying they'd much rather retain a backup that has a lot of promise than eventually get to where we lose Brunell and Collins and we're like, "Uh oh! Now what?"

Bramlet is still a long shot. Tearing up the NFLE isn't saying much. Danny Wuerffel was a freaking all-star over there.

I think Palmer is practice squad material at best. He'll have no shot to beat out Collins.

So you think Casey is a long shot for the #3 spot?

I think collins is on his way out, Casey would IMO be the most reasonable replacement at the #3 spot.

[GoSkins!]

1.475 Million is a lot to pay for a third QB. Face it, this is a guy who isn't going to even see the field unless things go very wrong. I have to believe that either Collins or Brunell will be gone. That money could be better used to re-sign Cooley.

[sportscurmudgeon]

I have no idea who will be the #3 QB this year. Here's something I am sure of:


If the Skins have to turn to the #3 QB to take 20 snaps for any reason other than they are winning a game by 44 points or more in the 4th quarter and they decide to give the #3 guy a few reps, then the Skins' season will be circling the drain.
