Everyone looks at other teams' players in a different light.

I think we tend to be way too harsh on our own players and we don't always realize what we've got.

The roomate is a Seahawks fan. He pretty much said what we've all been saying about having MB here. That they don't have a proven backup on the roster, and acquiring him would allow them to not only improve their QB situation, but use Senaca Wallace like we use ARE.

I don't see it being any better than a 6th.

I agree, but it's a good point - we shouldn't deal MB unless we get something substantial, and a 3rd certainly would be. He's way too valuable to us. No way Collins gets the #2 job IMO. I'm thinkin that this time the FO is being smart & setting the bar very high.

I think Collins will be the number two this year.

I would be very surprised at that. I think MB solidified his spot as the #2, barring a crazy trade.

I just can't see anyone having confidence in Collins.

In my book Brunnel is worthless. If the Skins get a seventh round pick, that would be good. A can of Coke...

It doesn't make sense to carry two high priced over-the-hill backup quarterbacks. I don't like Collins either, but it looks like he has won the backup competition. If someone is willing to give a draft pick up for Brunnel and get him off the books, jump on it.

Give Palmer clipboard duty and let him learn the ropes. He may develop into a good prospect. Third string is the perfect place for him. If you put him on the practice squad, another team can claim him.

Thought we werent supposed to post things like this unless we had a link. im sure they are saying we are preparing to sign vick. this is ridiculious. IMO

JoeRedskin · 08-31-2007, 06:06 AM

All I can say - I hate the Brunell hate (and I particularly hate the implication that b/c he is a christian he gets special treatment from Gibbs - seems to me more than a little anti-religion bias always gets mixed in with Brunnell).

We overpaid for him initially. That's not his fault. He gave us solid, not spectacular qb'ing most of the time, helped us to the playoffs, and killed Dallas on monday night. STOP WITH THE HATE.

If he goes, I wish him well - I think he got treated like shit b/c so many fans were enamared of Patrick "I never learn" Ramsey. Best for him to move on.

Football Man · 08-31-2007, 07:25 AM

If Brunell gets traded, the cap hit from his horrendous signing bonus gets accelerated. That should eat up ~$4M this year. . . . And anyone who expects that Seattle would give up a first day draft pick for a washed up backup in his mid-30s is smoking dope. The pick would be no higher than a 6th, and would likely be conditional (i.e. based on playing time).

Good riddance, Brunell can no longer win a game for a team. Part of it probably has to do with Gibbs conservative game plans, or maybe his gameplans were conservative because of Brunell. All I know is I would dread every abysmal week when I knew he was starting.

I apologize for asserting this thread was a hoax. Here's what the wash. post has on it. If it's not going down, I wonder what prompted ch. 9 to report it. Somebody from 1 of the teams leaked it prematurely I guess.

I still don't see it happening, unless they really have something substantial to offer.

I"m also a little tired of people acting as if Brunell has no value to us. He has more value in DC than anywhere else. Collins is not going to win us any games & more than MB, will lose us some games if put under pressure. Yeah, Brunell can no longer carry a team, but he can manage the game & let CP & Moss do their thing. I feel much better w/him as our backup.

I don't believe this trade is going to happen unless they were to offer a 3rd round pick or greater, which I doubt anyone would part with for Brunell.

We would essentially be going into the season with two quarterbacks if we trade Brunell and for a team that has playoff expectations I don't believe this is a situation they want to be in.

12thMan · 08-31-2007, 09:34 AM

Brunell could still end up being shipped out of here. As for Palmer, he had a bad showing last night, but they may still take a risk on making a third string. A huge risk at that.

I don't know if "bad" really does last night justice. That INT that he threw was God awful! Even if that linebacker hadn't been there it was still a terrible pass that had a better chance to get picked off by the cornerback than caught by the receiver.
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.
